Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen dichtenden Reißverschluss mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a sealing zipper with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Reißverschlüsse, auch dichtende mit Schieber sind bekannt. Sie sind zum Verschließen einzufädeln oder sind an einer oder beiden Seiten verbunden, wobei der Schieber ständig mit den Reißverschlusshälften verbunden ist. Zum Schließen muss der Schieber entlang der beiden Reißverschlusshälften gezogen werden, wobei er mit zwei äußeren Flanken die Zähne des Reißverschlusses miteinander in Eingriff bringt. Zum Öffnen muss der Schieber entlang des Reißverschlusses geführt werden und trennt mit seinem mittigen, keilförmigen Herz die Zähne. Durch angespritzte Dichtungselemente wurde vielfach versucht, dichtende Reißverschlüsse herzustellen.Zippers, also sealing with slide are known. They are to thread for closing or are connected on one or both sides, the slider is constantly connected to the zipper halves. To close, the slider must be pulled along the two zipper halves, with two outer flanks, the teeth of the zipper engaged with each other. To open the slider must be guided along the zipper and separates with its central, wedge-shaped heart teeth. Through molded sealing elements has been tried many times to produce sealing zippers.

Aus der WO 98/18359 ist ein wasserdichter Reißverschluss bekannt, bestehend aus zwei Reißverschlusshälften, die mit einem thermoplastischen Elastomer umspritzt sind, das jeweils als profilartige Beschichtung an den aneinander stoßende Kanten der Reißverschlussbänder aufliegt, wobei die profilartigen Beschichtungen bei geschlossenem Reißverschluss dichtend aneinander anliegen. Der Reißverschluss weist einen Hafen für den Schieber auf, der als umlaufende Wulst um einen Herzbereich ausgebildet ist. Der Hafen ist mit Dichtungen versehen und weist einen Übergang zum Beschichtungsprofil des Reißverschlusses auf, der mit einem Übermaß gestaltet ist, so dass die Flanken des Reißverschlusses einen größeren lateralen Druck zum Abdichten des Hafens ausüben.From the WO 98/18359 is a waterproof zipper known, consisting of two zipper halves, which are encapsulated with a thermoplastic elastomer, which rests in each case as a profile-like coating on the abutting edges of the zipper tapes, the profile-like coatings sealingly abut each other with the zipper closed. The zipper has a port for the slider, which is formed as a circumferential bead around a heart area. The port is gasketed and has a transition to the coating profile of the zipper, which is oversized so that the sides of the zipper exert greater lateral pressure to seal the port.

Die EP-A-0 900 532 und die US-A-2,910,754 zeigen Reißverschlüsse, bei denen die Zähnchen als paarweise Eingriffselemente vorliegen, die jeweils unterhalb und oberhalb der Reißverschlussbänder angeordnet sind und die durch Löcher in den Bändern miteinander verbunden sind. Zwischen den Eingriffelementen erstrecken sich längs der Reißverschlussbänder Dichtlippen oder Dichtelemente. Ein weiterer Reissverschluss wird in der WO-03/037132 offenbart.The EP-A-0 900 532 and the US-A-2,910,754 show zippers in which the teeth are present as a pair of engagement elements, which are respectively arranged below and above the zipper belts and which are interconnected by holes in the bands. Between the engagement elements extend along the zipper tapes sealing lips or sealing elements. Another zipper will be in the WO-03/037132 disclosed.

Bei dichtenden Reißverschlüssen mit vertikaler Dichtung zwischen den Reißverschlussbändern und horizontaler Dichtung im Schieber muss erreicht sein, dass die vertikalen und die horizontalen Dichtungen gleichzeitig dichten, was durch ein Überpressen des Dichtstücks am Druckpunkt erreicht wird.For sealing zippers with a vertical seal between the zipper tapes and the horizontal seal in the gate valve, the vertical and horizontal seals must be sealed at the same time, which is achieved by over-pressing the sealant at the pressure point.

Problematisch ist diese Version beim Öffnen des Reißverschlusses, also Trennen der Bänder mit innen liegender Dichtlippe und außen angeordneten festen Kuppelgliedern. Beim Öffnen des Reißverschlusses drückt die Spitze des Schieberherzens auf das erste Kuppelglied, welches dann auf das nächste gedrückt wird, wodurch der Reißverschluss blockiert.This version is problematic when opening the zipper, so separating the bands with inner sealing lip and externally arranged fixed elements of the coupling. When opening the zipper, the tip of the slider heart presses on the first element, which is then pressed on the next, which blocks the zipper.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen dichtenden Reißverschluss zu schaffen, bei dem ein dichtendes Schließen gewährleistet ist und welcher sich leicht und sicher ohne Blockieren des Reißverschlusses öffnen lässt.The object of the present invention is to provide a sealing zipper in which a sealing closure is ensured and which can be easily and safely opened without blocking the zipper.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Fortbildungen und vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Ansprüchen umfasst.This object is achieved with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Training and advantageous embodiments of the invention are included in the further claims.

Erfindungsgemäß ist ein dichtender Reißverschluss, bestehend aus Schieber, dichtendem Endstück und zwei Bändern mit jeweils randseitigen Dichtflächen mit als Formteil ausgebildeten Kuppelgliederpaaren, wobei die Kuppelglieder oberhalb und unterhalb an den jeweiligen randseitigen Dichtflächen angeordnet sind und diese wiederum mit den Kuppelgliederpaaren des anderen Bandes korrespondieren, wobei das als Hafen ausgeführte, dichtende Endstück in seinen vorderen, an den Reißverschlussbändern, vor dem letzten Kuppelgliederpaar angrenzenden Stegen mindestens eine, zusätzlich zu den Stegen vorhandene Führungseinrichtung für den Schieber aufweist.According to the invention is a sealing zipper, consisting of slide, sealing end piece and two bands, each edge sealing surfaces formed as a molded part coupling element pairs, wherein the coupling elements are arranged above and below the respective peripheral sealing surfaces and these in turn correspond to the coupling element pairs of the other band, wherein the port designed as a sealing end piece in its front, adjacent to the zipper tapes, in front of the last pair of coupling elements webs at least one, in addition to the webs existing guide means for the slider.

Gemäß der Erfindung verläuft die Führungseinrichtung an den beiden, an die letzten Kopplungsglieder anschließenden Stegen des Hafens, jeweils an einem Reißverschlussband über und am anderen Reißverschlussband unter der randseitigen Dichtlippe des entsprechenden Reißverschtussbandes. Auf der jeweils gegenüber liegenden Seite eines jeden Steges befindet sich eine Ausbuchtung, in welche die entsprechende Führungseinrichtung hineindrückt.
Der gezeigte Abstand von den Spitzen der Koppelglieder zu der entsprechenden Dichtlippe des gleichen Reißverschlussbandes entspricht im Wesentlichen eines bevorzugten Überstandes der Führungseinrichtung über die Dichtlippe in Richtung des Inneren des Dichtstücks.According to the invention, the guide means extends at the two, adjoining the last coupling members webs of the port, each on a zipper tape on and on the other zipper tape under the edge sealing lip of the corresponding Reißverschtussbandes. On the opposite side of each web is a bulge, in which pushes the corresponding guide means.
The distance shown from the tips of the coupling members to the corresponding sealing lip of the same zipper tape substantially corresponds to a preferred projection of the guide means via the sealing lip in the direction of the interior of the sealing piece.

Im geschlossenen Zustand des Reißverschlusses werden damit die Führungseinrichtung und Ausbuchtung als auch die horizontale Dichtlippe durch die Schieberplatten und Schieberflanken dichtend aneinander gepresst.In the closed state of the zipper thus the guide means and bulge and the horizontal sealing lip are pressed sealingly together by the slide plates and slide edges.

Die gebildete Fläche der Stege, Reißverschlussbänder und Dichtlippen ist gemäß der Erfindung größer als die Fläche die im Schieber zwischen den Schieberflanken gebildet wird, wodurch diese durch Zusammenpressen dichtet.The formed surface of the webs, zipper tapes and sealing lips is according to the invention larger than the area formed in the slide between the slide edges, whereby this seals by compression.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung läuft das Profil der Reißverschlussbänder im bevorzugt aufgespritzten, aufgeklebten oder aufgeschweißten Dichtstück im Wesentlichen parallel zu den Stegen des Dichtstücks geradlinig weiter.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the profile of the zipper tapes in the preferably sprayed on, glued or welded sealing piece continues to run in a straight line substantially parallel to the webs of the sealing piece.

Die Reißverschlusszähnchen werden bevorzugt aufgespritzt, was nach einer Ausführung der Erfindung z.B. durch eingebrachte Löcher in den Reißverschlussbändern erfolgen kann.The zipper teeth are preferably sprayed on, which according to an embodiment of the invention e.g. can be done through introduced holes in the zipper tapes.

Die Reißverschluss Kupplungsglieder weisen jeweils auf ihrer Oberseite bevorzugt eine Nut auf, welche während des Prozesses des Aufspritzens der Zähnchen auf die Reißverschlussbänder eingebracht oder mechanisch eingearbeitet, wie etwa eingefräst werden.The zipper coupling members each have on their upper side preferably a groove, which are introduced during the process of the injection of the teeth on the zipper tapes or mechanically incorporated, such as milled.

Das dichtende Endstück wird nach einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung mit seinen Stegen über die letzten Koppelglieder der Reißverschlussbänder aufgebracht, wodurch sich der Ansatz an den Stegen des Dichtstücks in die Nuten der letzten Koppelglieder verankert, wodurch zum einen ein Abknicken an dieser Stelle verhindert wird und eine zusätzliche Führung für den Schieber geschaffen wird, was insbesondere Vorteile beim Öffnungsvorgang des Reißverschlusses bietet.The sealing end piece is applied according to a preferred embodiment of the invention with its webs over the last coupling members of the zipper tapes, whereby the approach anchored to the webs of the sealing piece in the grooves of the last coupling links, thereby preventing a kinking at this point and a additional guidance for the slide is created, which offers particular advantages in opening the zipper.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen offenen Reißverschluss aus zwei Reißverschlussbändern 2, 2', die mit Koppelgliedreihen 4 versehen sind, die miteinander in Eingriff zu bringen sind.
Die beiden Reißverschlussbänder 2, 2' sind im Bereich des Dichtstücks 1 mit einem Schweißplättchen 14 verbunden, auf welches das Dichtstück 1 aufgebracht ist. Auf der hier gezeigten Abbildung ist an dem linken Steg des Dichtstücks 1 die Führungseinrichtung 6 zu erkennen, welche wegen der auf der rechten oberen Seite sich befindlichen Aussparung auch auf der rechten unteren Seite zu sehen ist. Die Koppelglieder besitzen auf ihrer Oberseite eine Nut 12 in welche im Bereich des Übergangs von den Zahnreihen auf das Dichtstück 1 der Ansatz 13 der Stege 5 des Dichtstücks eingreifen, wodurch die Stabilität an diese Stelle erhöht wird und eine zusätzliche Führung für den Schieber 7 geschaffen wird.. Fig. 1 shows an open zipper from two zipper tapes 2, 2 ', which are provided with coupling link rows 4, which are to be engaged with each other.
The two zipper tapes 2, 2 'are connected in the region of the sealing piece 1 with a welding plate 14, on which the sealing piece 1 is applied. In the illustration shown here, the guide device 6 can be seen on the left web of the sealing piece 1, which can also be seen on the lower right side because of the recess located on the upper right side. The coupling links have on their upper side a groove 12 in which engage in the region of the transition from the rows of teeth on the sealing piece 1 of the projection 13 of the webs 5 of the sealing piece, whereby the stability is increased to this point and an additional guide for the slide 7 is created ..

Dabei werden gleichzeitig auch die hufeisenförmigen, horizontalen Dichtlippen 16 an die Schieberplatten 11 dichtend angepresst. Die Führungseinrichtungen 6 ragen jeweils etwas über die Dichtlippen 3 der Reißverschlussbänder 2 in das Innere des Dichtstücks 1 hinein.
Auf diese Weise entsteht im geschlossenen Zustand des Reißverschlusses zum einen eine vertikale Abdichtung durch das gegeneinander pressen der Dichtlippen 3, wie auch eine horizontale Abdichtung durch das aufeinander pressen der beiden Führungseinrichtungen 6, zwischen welchen die Dichtung 3 des Reißverschlussbandes 2 liegt. Fig. 2 shows a section through the in Fig. 1 shown zipper in which the guide means 6 can be seen at the top left and bottom right and which are pressed when retracting the slide 7 by means of the slide plates and the slide webs in the sealing piece with the sealing lip 3 in the opposite recess 8 and seal. At the same time the horseshoe-shaped, horizontal sealing lips 16 are pressed sealingly against the slide plates 11.
