Definitions
- the invention relates to a container for a hook and loop fastener, wherein the tape-shaped parts of the fastener are each received in the form of a roll, while the container comprises two compartments which each receive one of the rolls, the compartments being provided with a common outlet through which the co-operating tape-shaped component parts may be dispensed as a coupled hook and loop fastener.
- a container of this type is known from LU A 83.662.
- the container consists of a parallelepiped hollow body in which the rolls of the hook and loop fastener are placed contiguously and one beside the other in contact by their working faces.
- the body has on one of its side walls an intermediate recess with two portions of said wall convergent to a slot through which the ends of said rolls in contact project.
- each compartment has the form of approximately a whole circle, whilst both compartments are aligned co-axially with their open areas facing each other and separated by a partition placed between them, each compartment being provided with an outlet portion, the two outlet portions being arranged in opposition to one another to form the common outlet.
- the drawing shows an embodiment of the container for a hook and loop fastener, wherein the two tape-shaped component parts 1, 2 of the hook and loop fastener 8 are each received as a roll.
- the container comprises two compartments 19, 20 which are aligned co-axially with their open areas facing each other and which each receive one of the rolls of the tape-shaped component parts 1, 2.
- the cross-section of the compartments 19, 20 has the form of approximately a whole circle, while an outlet portion 21 connects to each compartment 19, 20. These two outlet portions 21 are arranged in opposition to one another to form a common outlet 22.
- a partition 23 is positioned between the two compartments 19, 20 and comprises a recess 24 at the location of the outer end of the two outlet portions 21.
- the two outlet portions 21 are tangential with respect to their compartment 19 and 20 respectively and have a height, which decreases from the height of the compartment to approximately the thickness of the co-operating component parts 1, 2 of the hook and loop fastener. This latter height is already reached at some distance from the outlet 22.
- the two component parts 1, 2 of the hook and loop fastener are each twisted a quarter turn in the co-operating outlet portion 21, whereafter they engage each other approximately at the location of the recess 24 in the partition 23, so that they may be pulled together through the common outlet 22 out of the container as a coupled hook and loop fastener.
- the height of the compartments 19, 20 as well as the width of the outlet 22 substantially correspond with the width of the component parts 1, 2 of the hook and loop fastener, while the height of the outlet 22 substantially corresponds with the thickness of the hook and loop fastener 8.
- the tape-shaped component parts 1, of the hook and loop fastener may be self-adhesive at the outer side, if desired, and may then be covered with silicone paper. In that case the height of the outlet 22 will of course be chosen accordingly.
- the width of the outlet 22 may be such that the edges of the outlet 22 exert a slight pressure on the hook and loop fastener 8.
- Each compartment 19, 20 is provided with a central centring protrusion 25 in its outer wall. This central protrusion centres the co-operation roll of the tape-shaped components 1, 2. In this way it is allowed that the rolls maintain their position in their compartment 19, 20 until the end.
- the container for a hook and loop fastener is . composed of two blisters 26, 27, which each comprise a raised portion, which forms the outer wall 28 and the upstanding side wall 29 of one of the compartments 19, 20 and of the associated outlet portion 21.
- Each blister 26, 27 further comprises a flat wall portion 30, which is parallel. to the outer wall 28 of its compartment 19 or 20 and which connects to the upstanding side wall 29 of this compartment 19 or 20 and of the associated outlet portion 21.
- the flat wall portions 30 of the two blisters 25, 26 are connected to opposite sides of the partition 23.
- This partition 23 forms an end wall of the compartments 19,20 and is again provided with a suspension eye 31, so as to act as a carrier.
