Description

スライドファスナー製造装置及びスライドファスナーの製造方法Slide fastener manufacturing apparatus and slide fastener manufacturing method
　本開示は、スライドファスナー製造装置及びスライドファスナーの製造方法に関する。 The present disclosure relates to a slide fastener manufacturing apparatus and a slide fastener manufacturing method.
　特許文献１は、スライドファスナー製造装置を開示する。同文献のスライドファスナー製造装置は、複数の加工部が設けられた固定テーブル部１２と、回転体１３を備える。回転体は、ファスナーチェーンを把持する把持手段を具備する。把持手段は、左右一対の把持部１７を具備する。左右一対の把持部１７は、作動手段に応じて接近・離間可能である。 Patent Document 1 discloses a slide fastener manufacturing apparatus. The slide fastener manufacturing apparatus of the same document includes a fixed table portion 12 provided with a plurality of processing portions, and a rotating body 13.

特許第４０６４３２６号公報Japanese Patent No. 4064326
　特許文献１の製造装置には、スペース部が形成され、またスペース部に隣接して下止めが設けられたファスナーチェーンが供給されることが前提となっている。かかる場合、特許文献１に開示のスライドファスナー製造装置の上流側に、スペース部形成装置と、下止め取り付け装置を設ける必要があり、スライドファスナー製造システムの大型化を伴う。 It is assumed that the manufacturing apparatus of Patent Document 1 is supplied with a fastener chain in which a space portion is formed and a bottom stop is provided adjacent to the space portion. In such a case, it is necessary to provide a space portion forming device and a bottom stopper mounting device on the upstream side of the slide fastener manufacturing device disclosed in Patent Document 1, which increases the size of the slide fastener manufacturing system.
　なお、スペース部は、ファスナーチェーンにおいて噛合エレメントが「機能的」に除去された領域を意味する。噛合エレメントが機能的に除去されることは、噛合エレメントを構成していた各ファスナーエレメント部分の噛合機能が喪失された状態を意味する。従って、噛合エレメントが機能的に除去されることは、噛合エレメントを構成していた各エレメント部分の破断片がファスナーテープ上に残存していないことを意味するものではない。 In addition, the space part means an area where the engagement element is “functionally” removed from the fastener chain. The fact that the meshing element is functionally removed means that the meshing function of each fastener element portion constituting the meshing element is lost. Therefore, the functional removal of the meshing element does not mean that the broken pieces of the respective element portions constituting the meshing element do not remain on the fastener tape.

　図１に示すスライドファスナー製造装置６００は、必ずしもこの限りではないが、図２にほんの一例として示すスライドファスナー１００を製造するべく作動する。スライドファスナー製造装置６００の具体的な構成及び動作について説明する前に、図２を参照してスライドファスナー１００について事前説明をする。但し、図２に示すスライドファスナー１００は単なる一例であり、図１に示すスライドファスナー製造装置６００を用いて図２に示す以外の構成のスライドファスナーも製造可能であることは言うまでも無い。 The slide fastener manufacturing apparatus 600 shown in FIG. 1 is not necessarily limited to this, but operates to manufacture the slide fastener 100 shown as an example in FIG. Before describing the specific configuration and operation of the slide fastener manufacturing apparatus 600, the slide fastener 100 will be described in advance with reference to FIG. However, the slide fastener 100 shown in FIG. 2 is merely an example, and it goes without saying that a slide fastener having a configuration other than that shown in FIG. 2 can be manufactured using the slide fastener manufacturing apparatus 600 shown in FIG.
　図２に示すスライドファスナー１００は、一対のファスナーストリンガー１１０と、一対のファスナーストリンガー１１０を開閉するためのスライダー１１５を含む。各ファスナーストリンガー１１０は、ファスナーテープ１１１と、このテープ１１１の対向側縁部に設けられたファスナーエレメント１１２を有する。 The slide fastener 100 shown in FIG. 2 includes a pair of fastener stringers 110 and a slider 115 for opening and closing the pair of fastener stringers 110. Each fastener stringer 110 has a fastener tape 111 and a fastener element 112 provided on the opposite side edge of the tape 111.
　スライドファスナー１００は、一対のファスナーストリンガー１１０を連結し、各ファスナーエレメント１１２の下端部近傍に設けられる下止め１１３を有する。スライドファスナー１００は、各ファスナーエレメント１１２の上端部近傍に設けられる上止め１１４を有する。上止め１１４に向かうスライダー１１５の前進により一対のファスナーストリンガー１１０が閉じられる。下止め１１３に向かうスライダー１１５の後進により一対のファスナーストリンガー１１０が開けられる。上止め１１４によりスライダー１１５の前進が阻止され、下止め１１３によりスライダー１１５の後進が阻止される。 The slide fastener 100 connects the pair of fastener stringers 110 and has a bottom stop 113 provided near the lower end of each fastener element 112. The slide fastener 100 has an upper stopper 114 provided in the vicinity of the upper end portion of each fastener element 112. The pair of fastener stringers 110 are closed by the advancement of the slider 115 toward the top stopper 114. The pair of fastener stringers 110 is opened by the backward movement of the slider 115 toward the bottom stop 113. The upper stopper 114 prevents the slider 115 from moving forward, and the lower stopper 113 prevents the slider 115 from moving backward.
　図１に示す装置とは無関係にスライドファスナー１００を基準として説明すれば、一対のファスナーストリンガー１１０は、左側ファスナーストリンガー１１０と右側ファスナーストリンガー１１０を含む。上止め１１４は、左右のファスナーストリンガー１１０毎に設けられる。下止め１１３は、左右のファスナーストリンガー１１０に共通に設けられる。 Referring to the slide fastener 100 regardless of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1, the pair of fastener stringers 110 includes a left fastener stringer 110 and a right fastener stringer 110. The top stopper 114 is provided for each of the left and right fastener stringers 110. The bottom stop 113 is provided in common for the left and right fastener stringers 110.
　ファスナーテープ１１１は、可撓性の布であり、少なくとも部分的に織物又は編物を含む。ファスナーエレメント１１２は、一例として、モノフィラメントがらせん状に巻かれたコイルエレメントが図示される。別例においては、金属製又は樹脂製のファスナーエレメントが用いられる。幾つかの場合、ファスナーエレメント１１２は、ファスナーテープ１１１の一面上に載置され、ファスナーテープ１１１に対して縫い付けられる。別例においては、ファスナーエレメント１１２は、ファスナーテープ１１１のテープ組織に組み込まれる。図２において、各ファスナーストリンガー１１０のファスナーエレメント１１２が噛み合った噛合エレメント１１２ｍが図示される。噛合エレメント１１２ｍは、スライダー１１５の後進により非噛合状態になる。 The fastener tape 111 is a flexible cloth, and at least partially includes a woven fabric or a knitted fabric. As an example of the fastener element 112, a coil element in which a monofilament is spirally wound is illustrated. In another example, a metal or resin fastener element is used. In some cases, the fastener element 112 is placed on one surface of the fastener tape 111 and sewn to the fastener tape 111. In another example, the fastener element 112 is incorporated into the tape structure of the fastener tape 111. In FIG. 2, an engagement element 112m in which the fastener elements 112 of the respective fastener stringers 110 are engaged is shown. The meshing element 112m is brought into a non-meshing state by the backward movement of the slider 115.
　下止め１１３や上止め１１４は、ファスナーテープ１１１に対して取り付けられるべく塑性変形された金属材であり得る。別例においては、下止め１１３及び上止め１１４が、樹脂製の止具であり得る。スライダー１１５は、金属又は樹脂製のスライダーであり得る。スライダー１１５は、必ずしもこの限りではないが、上翼板、下翼板、及び上翼板と下翼板を連結する連結柱を含み得る。 The lower stopper 113 and the upper stopper 114 may be a metal material that is plastically deformed so as to be attached to the fastener tape 111. In another example, the bottom stop 113 and the top stop 114 may be resin stoppers. The slider 115 may be a metal or resin slider. The slider 115 may include, but is not necessarily limited to, an upper wing plate, a lower wing plate, and a connecting column that connects the upper wing plate and the lower wing plate.
　図１に示すスライドファスナー製造装置６００は、第１ファスナーチェーン１０１の切断により得られる第２ファスナーチェーン１０２に対して１以上の仕上げ処理を施す。例えば、スライドファスナー製造装置６００は、仕上げ処理として、第２ファスナーチェーン１０２にスライダー１１５を通す処理、上止め１１４を取り付ける処理、スライダー１１５の挿通状態の検査、及び下止め１１３及び上止め１１４の取り付け状態の検査を行う。なお、別例においては、ここに挙げた１以上の処理が省略され得る。 The slide fastener manufacturing apparatus 600 shown in FIG. 1 performs one or more finishing processes on the second fastener chain 102 obtained by cutting the first fastener chain 101. For example, as a finishing process, the slide fastener manufacturing apparatus 600 includes a process of passing the slider 115 through the second fastener chain 102, a process of attaching the top stopper 114, an inspection of the insertion state of the slider 115, and the attachment of the bottom stopper 113 and the top stopper 114. Check the condition. In another example, one or more of the processes listed here may be omitted.
　第１ファスナーチェーン１０１及び第２ファスナーチェーン１０２は、閉じた状態の一対のファスナーストリンガー１１０、換言すれば、噛合エレメント１１２ｍを含む一対のファスナーストリンガー１１０を含む。第１ファスナーチェーン１０１は、非常に長尺である。他方、第２ファスナーチェーン１０２は、第１ファスナーチェーン１０１の切断により得られ、第１ファスナーチェーン１０１と比較してかなり短尺である。 The first fastener chain 101 and the second fastener chain 102 include a pair of fastener stringers 110 in a closed state, in other words, a pair of fastener stringers 110 including an engagement element 112m. The first fastener chain 101 is very long. On the other hand, the second fastener chain 102 is obtained by cutting the first fastener chain 101 and is considerably shorter than the first fastener chain 101.
　本実施形態に係るスライドファスナー製造装置６００は、仕上げ処理として、第１ファスナーチェーン１０１に対してスペース部を形成し、下止めを取り付ける処理を実行可能に構成される。スライドファスナー製造装置６００の上流側に別のスペース部形成装置や下止め取り付け装置を配備する必要がなくなり、スライドファスナー製造システムの小型化を促進可能である。１以上の仕上げ処理を実行するスライドファスナー製造装置の動作速度が、別のスペース部形成装置や下止め取り付け装置との関係で制約されず、スライドファスナーの製造の高効率化に貢献し得る。別のスペース部形成装置や下止め取り付け装置の配置スペースを省略可能であり、工場内の空間利用効率も向上し得る。なお、本図示例では、第２ファスナーチェーン１０２は、スライドファスナー製造装置６００においてスペース部形成処理及び下止め取り付け処理が施された第１ファスナーチェーン１０１の切断により得られる。 The slide fastener manufacturing apparatus 600 according to the present embodiment is configured to execute a process of forming a space portion with respect to the first fastener chain 101 and attaching a bottom stop as a finishing process. It is not necessary to provide a separate space portion forming device or a bottom stopper attaching device on the upstream side of the slide fastener manufacturing apparatus 600, and it is possible to promote downsizing of the slide fastener manufacturing system. The operation speed of the slide fastener manufacturing apparatus that executes one or more finishing processes is not restricted by the relationship with another space portion forming apparatus or the bottom mounting apparatus, and can contribute to the high efficiency of manufacturing the slide fastener. An arrangement space for another space portion forming device or a bottom attachment device can be omitted, and the space utilization efficiency in the factory can be improved. In the illustrated example, the second fastener chain 102 is obtained by cutting the first fastener chain 101 that has been subjected to the space portion forming process and the bottom stopper attaching process in the slide fastener manufacturing apparatus 600.
　図１に示すように、スライドファスナー製造装置６００は、第１ファスナーチェーン１０１の切断により得られる第２ファスナーチェーン１０２を把持可能に構成された複数のグリッパー対２００が周方向沿いに設けられた回転部５１０と、回転部５１０の回転に応じて周方向に変位するグリッパー対２００により把持される第２ファスナーチェーン１０２を処理する複数の処理ユニット３００が設けられた固定部５２０を備える。図１の図示例では、複数の処理ユニット３００は、第１乃至第５処理ユニット３１０～３５０を含む。なお、第１、第２、第３等は、便宜的な識別子である。そのように明示される場合を除き、第１、第２、第３等は、処理や動作の順番を何ら示すものではない。 As shown in FIG. 1, the slide fastener manufacturing apparatus 600 is provided with a plurality of gripper pairs 200 configured to be capable of gripping the second fastener chain 102 obtained by cutting the first fastener chain 101. And a fixing portion 520 provided with a plurality of processing units 300 for processing the second fastener chain 102 gripped by the gripper pair 200 that is displaced in the circumferential direction in accordance with the rotation of the rotating portion 510. In the illustrated example of FIG. 1, the plurality of processing units 300 include first to fifth processing units 310 to 350. The first, second, third, etc. are convenient identifiers. Except where explicitly stated as such, the first, second, third, etc. do not indicate any order of processing or operation.
　回転部５１０は、不図示の駆動源、例えば、電動モーターからの回転力を受けて回転する。回転部５１０の回転に応じて回転部５１０の各グリッパー対２００が周方向に変位する。固定部５２０は静止部材である。固定部５２０の各処理ユニット３００は、上述のように周方向に変位するグリッパー対２００により把持された第２ファスナーチェーン１０２に対して処理を施すことができる。第２ファスナーチェーン１０２に対する各処理ユニット３００の処理は、上述のいずれかの仕上げ処理を含むことができる。 The rotation unit 510 rotates in response to a rotational force from a drive source (not shown), for example, an electric motor. Each gripper pair 200 of the rotating unit 510 is displaced in the circumferential direction in accordance with the rotation of the rotating unit 510. The fixing part 520 is a stationary member. Each processing unit 300 of the fixing portion 520 can perform processing on the second fastener chain 102 gripped by the gripper pair 200 displaced in the circumferential direction as described above. The processing of each processing unit 300 on the second fastener chain 102 can include any of the finishing processes described above.
　図示例においては、回転部５１０は、鉛直方向に一致又は平行又は実質的に平行な軸線ＡＸ１０沿いに見て略六角形の平板部５１１と、平板部５１１の外周に等間隔で合計６箇所に設けられたグリッパー対２００を有する。なお、グリッパー対２００が配備された各場所では、図３に図示の如く、共通の第２ファスナーチェーン１０２を把持するべくグリッパー対２００が上段及び下段に設けられる。 In the illustrated example, the rotation unit 510 includes a substantially hexagonal flat plate portion 511 as viewed along the axis AX10 that is coincident with, parallel to or substantially parallel to the vertical direction, and a total of six locations on the outer periphery of the flat plate portion 511 at equal intervals. It has a gripper pair 200 provided. In each place where the gripper pair 200 is provided, as shown in FIG. 3, the gripper pair 200 is provided at the upper and lower stages so as to grip the common second fastener chain 102.
　回転部５１０の平板部５１１は、軸線ＡＸ１０に直交するように設けられる。回転部５１０の平板部５１１は、スライドファスナー製造装置６００のベース５４０に立設された支柱５３０に関して回転可能である。回転部５１０の平板部５１１は、不図示の駆動源からの回転力を受けて軸線ＡＸ１０を回転中心として回転可能である。 The flat plate part 511 of the rotating part 510 is provided so as to be orthogonal to the axis AX10. The flat plate part 511 of the rotating part 510 is rotatable with respect to the column 530 erected on the base 540 of the slide fastener manufacturing apparatus 600. The flat plate portion 511 of the rotation unit 510 can rotate about the axis AX10 as a center of rotation upon receiving a rotational force from a drive source (not shown).
　回転部５１０の平板部５１１は、間欠的に回転駆動される。回転部５１０の平板部５１１の回転駆動に応じて各グリッパー対２００が周方向に変位し、同様、各グリッパー対２００により把持された第２ファスナーチェーン１０２も周方向に変位する。図示例では、回転部５１０の平板部５１１の各回転駆動により、回転部５１０の平板部５１１が６０°だけ回転し、各グリッパー対２００及び第２ファスナーチェーン１０２が６０°だけ周方向に変位する。 The flat plate portion 511 of the rotating unit 510 is driven to rotate intermittently. Each gripper pair 200 is displaced in the circumferential direction in accordance with the rotational drive of the flat plate portion 511 of the rotating part 510, and similarly, the second fastener chain 102 gripped by each gripper pair 200 is also displaced in the circumferential direction. In the illustrated example, each rotation drive of the flat plate portion 511 of the rotating portion 510 rotates the flat plate portion 511 of the rotating portion 510 by 60 °, and each gripper pair 200 and the second fastener chain 102 are displaced in the circumferential direction by 60 °. .
　詳細に述べれば、ある一つのグリッパー対２００は、回転部５１０の平板部５１１の一回目の回転駆動に応じてある一つの処理ユニット３００の下方位置から周方向に隣接する別の処理ユニット３００の下方位置に変位する。回転部５１０の平板部５１１の二回目の回転駆動が行われると、そのグリッパー対２００は、更に周方向に変位して、また別の処理ユニット３００の下方位置に変位する。 More specifically, one pair of grippers 200 is connected to another processing unit 300 adjacent in the circumferential direction from the lower position of one processing unit 300 in response to the first rotation driving of the flat plate portion 511 of the rotation unit 510. Displaces to a lower position. When the second rotation driving of the flat plate portion 511 of the rotating portion 510 is performed, the gripper pair 200 is further displaced in the circumferential direction and is displaced to a lower position of another processing unit 300.
　グリッパー対２００により把持された第２ファスナーチェーン１０２は、グリッパー対２００と同様、回転部５１０の平板部５１１の回転駆動に応じて周方向に変位し、周方向に配列された異種の処理ユニット３００による処理に提供される。かかる構成により、スライドファスナー製造装置６００は、高効率及び省スペースで第２ファスナーチェーン１０２をスライドファスナー１００に仕上げることができる。 Similar to the gripper pair 200, the second fastener chain 102 gripped by the gripper pair 200 is displaced in the circumferential direction in accordance with the rotational drive of the flat plate portion 511 of the rotating unit 510, and the different types of processing units 300 arranged in the circumferential direction. Provided for processing by. With this configuration, the slide fastener manufacturing apparatus 600 can finish the second fastener chain 102 into the slide fastener 100 with high efficiency and space saving.
　なお、図示の便宜上、図１に示すスライドファスナー製造装置６００は、極度に簡略化して示されている。幾つかの場合、スライダー供給部や、下止めや上止め用の線材蓄積部が固定部５２０の上面に配備される。 For convenience of illustration, the slide fastener manufacturing apparatus 600 shown in FIG. 1 is extremely simplified. In some cases, a slider supply unit and a wire accumulating unit for bottom and top stops are provided on the upper surface of the fixing unit 520.
　図３乃至図８を参照してスライドファスナー製造装置６００、端的には第１処理ユニット３１０による第１ファスナーチェーン１０１に対する処理を概略的に説明する。スライドファスナー製造装置６００、端的には第１処理ユニット３１０は、図３及び図４の参照から分かるように、第１ファスナーチェーン１０１の噛合エレメント１１２ｍにスペース部１１６を形成するスペース形成部４１０と、第１ファスナーチェーン１０１に対してスペース部１１６の端部近傍で下止め１１３を取り付ける下止め取り付け部４２０と、下止め１１３が取り付けられた第２ファスナーチェーン１０２を得るべく第１ファスナーチェーン１０１をスペース部１１６で切断する切断部４３０を有する。 Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 8, the process for the first fastener chain 101 by the slide fastener manufacturing apparatus 600, that is, the first processing unit 310 will be schematically described. As can be seen from the reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the slide fastener manufacturing apparatus 600, or in short, the first processing unit 310, includes a space forming portion 410 that forms the space portion 116 in the meshing element 112 m of the first fastener chain 101, The first fastener chain 101 is spaced to obtain the lower fastener attaching portion 420 for attaching the lower stopper 113 near the end of the space portion 116 to the first fastener chain 101 and the second fastener chain 102 to which the lower stopper 113 is attached. It has the cutting part 430 cut | disconnected by the part 116. FIG.
　スペース部１１６は、第１ファスナーチェーン１０１の長さ方向で、噛合エレメント１１２ｍが噛み合わない部分であり得る。スペース部１１６は、噛合エレメント１１２ｍの噛合頭部を切除することで形成され得る。この場合、噛合エレメント１１２ｍの噛合頭部以外の部分はファスナーテープ１１１に残存する。噛合頭部を選択的に切除する場合、スペース部形成装置が大型化せず、その省スペース化が確保される。なお、スペース部１１６における噛合エレメント１１２ｍを残存しない態様でファスナーテープ１１１から取り除くこともできる。 The space portion 116 may be a portion where the engagement element 112m is not engaged in the length direction of the first fastener chain 101. The space portion 116 can be formed by cutting out the meshing head of the meshing element 112m. In this case, the portion other than the meshing head of the meshing element 112m remains on the fastener tape 111. When the meshing head is selectively excised, the space forming device is not increased in size, and space saving is ensured. It should be noted that the engagement element 112m in the space 116 can be removed from the fastener tape 111 in a manner that does not remain.
　本実施形態においては、スペース形成部４１０は、下止め取り付け部４２０の次の作動により下止め１１３が端部近傍に配されるスペース部１１６を第１ファスナーチェーン１０１の噛合エレメント１１２ｍに形成するように配置される。また、下止め取り付け部４２０は、切断部４３０の次の作動により得られる第２ファスナーチェーン１０２の下止め１１３となる下止め１１３を、第１ファスナーチェーン１０１に対して取り付けるように配置される。 In the present embodiment, the space forming part 410 forms the space part 116 in which the lower stopper 113 is arranged in the vicinity of the end part in the meshing element 112 m of the first fastener chain 101 by the next operation of the lower stopper attaching part 420.

　スペース部の形成と下止め取り付けがスライドファスナー製造装置に組み込まれ、従来に比してスライドファスナー製造システムの小型化が促進される。スペース形成部と下止め取り付け部の間隔調整により第２ファスナーチェーンの長さ変更に簡単に対応可能である。幾つかの場合、第１ファスナーチェーン１０１の搬送距離の誤差の影響がより低減され、下止め１１３の取り付け位置ズレや、第１ファスナーチェーン１０１の切断位置ズレの問題の顕在化を回避可能であり得る。 The formation of the space part and the attachment of the bottom stopper are incorporated in the slide fastener manufacturing apparatus, and the downsizing of the slide fastener manufacturing system is promoted as compared with the conventional case. It is possible to easily cope with the change in the length of the second fastener chain by adjusting the distance between the space forming portion and the bottom mounting portion. In some cases, the influence of the error in the conveyance distance of the first fastener chain 101 is further reduced, and it is possible to avoid the manifestation of the problem of the mounting position shift of the bottom stopper 113 and the cutting position shift of the first fastener chain 101. obtain.

The bottom stop 113 this time is arranged above the cutting part 430 in the vertical direction. Before the first fastener chain 101 is cut by the cutting part 430, the gripper pair 200 holds both left and right ends of the first fastener chain 101.
　図３（ｄ）及び図３（ｅ）の比較から分かるように、切断部４３０の作動により前回のスペース部１１６で第１ファスナーチェーン１０１が切断される。切断部４３０は、スペース部１１６の鉛直方向の上下中間位置で第１ファスナーチェーン１０１を切断する。第１ファスナーチェーン１０１が切断されると、グリッパー対２００は、第１ファスナーチェーン１０１の鉛直方向下方の領域を第２ファスナーチェーン１０２として把持する。第２ファスナーチェーン１０２は、グリッパー対２００により把持され、鉛直方向下方に垂れ下がる姿勢を取る。回転部５１０の回転に応じてグリッパー対２００が、第１処理ユニット３１０の下方位置から第２処理ユニット３２０の下方位置へ周方向に変位する。同様に、第５処理ユニット３５０の下方を通過した別のグリッパー対２００が、第１処理ユニット３１０の下方位置に新たに配備される。 As can be seen from the comparison between FIG. 3D and FIG. 3E, the first fastener chain 101 is cut at the previous space portion 116 by the operation of the cutting portion 430. The cutting part 430 cuts the first fastener chain 101 at a vertical intermediate position in the vertical direction of the space part 116. When the first fastener chain 101 is cut, the gripper pair 200 grips the region below the first fastener chain 101 in the vertical direction as the second fastener chain 102. The second fastener chain 102 is gripped by the gripper pair 200 and takes a posture of hanging downward in the vertical direction. The gripper pair 200 is displaced in the circumferential direction from the lower position of the first processing unit 310 to the lower position of the second processing unit 320 in accordance with the rotation of the rotating unit 510.

An exemplary configuration of the bottom mounting portion 420 will be described later with reference to FIG.
　スペース形成部４１０のカッター４１１は、図４に示す動力伝達機構４１５を介して駆動源に結合される。動力伝達機構４１５は、図５（ａ）に示す作動位置と図５（ｂ）に示す待機位置の間で、軸線ＡＸ１０に交差又は直交する横方向にカッター４１１を変位するように動作する。図示例の動力伝達機構４１５は、カッター４１１に連結した第１リンク、駆動源のシリンダーに連結した第２リンク、第１リンクが回転可能に結合した第１端部と第２リンクが回転可能に結合した第２端部を有する枢動リンクを含む。シリンダーの伸縮によりカッター４１１の変位を制御可能である。別の場合、別の動力伝達機構及び駆動源が採用され得る。 The cutter 411 of the space forming unit 410 is coupled to a drive source via a power transmission mechanism 415 shown in FIG.

A pivot link having a coupled second end is included. The displacement of the cutter 411 can be controlled by expanding and contracting the cylinder. In other cases, another power transmission mechanism and drive source may be employed.
　下止め取り付け部４２０のパンチ４２１は、図５（ａ）に示す作動位置と図５（ｂ）に示す待機位置の間で変位可能に設けられる。例えば、そのようにパンチ４２１を往復運動するためシリンダーが用いられる。切断部４３０の切断刃４３１は、図５（ａ）に示す待機位置と図５（ｂ）に示す作動位置の間で変位可能に設けられる。例えば、そのように切断刃４３１を往復運動するためシリンダーが用いられる。なお、本願で述べるシリンダーは、電動シリンダー、エアーシリンダー、オイルシリンダー等の様々な種類のシリンダーを包含する。 The punch 421 of the bottom mounting portion 420 is provided so as to be displaceable between an operating position shown in FIG. 5A and a standby position shown in FIG. For example, a cylinder is used to reciprocate the punch 421.

　測長部４５０は、少なくとも、第１ファスナーチェーン１０１の搬送に応じて回転する一対のロールと、いずれか又は両方のロールの回転量を検出する検出器を含む。検出器としては、ロータリーエンコーダ等を用いることができる。検出器の出力がコントロールに接続される。測長部４５０は、本段落で説明した構成を有する必要はない。別例においては、測長部４５０は、第１ファスナーチェーン１０１のファスナーテープ１１１に形成されたマーキングをカウントし、このカウント結果に基づいて第１ファスナーチェーン１０１の搬送距離を算出する。 The length measuring unit 450 includes at least a pair of rolls that rotate according to the conveyance of the first fastener chain 101 and a detector that detects the rotation amount of one or both of the rolls. A rotary encoder or the like can be used as the detector. The output of the detector is connected to the control. The length measuring unit 450 need not have the configuration described in this paragraph. In another example, the length measuring unit 450 counts the marking formed on the fastener tape 111 of the first fastener chain 101, and calculates the transport distance of the first fastener chain 101 based on the count result.
　搬送機構４４０は、駆動ロール４４１、駆動ロール４４１と協調して第１ファスナーチェーン１０１を挟み込む押圧ロール４４２と、駆動ロール４４１を駆動するための駆動部を有する。駆動部は、コントローラーから供給される制御指令に応じて駆動ロール４４１を回転制御する。 The transport mechanism 440 includes a driving roll 441, a pressing roll 442 that sandwiches the first fastener chain 101 in cooperation with the driving roll 441, and a driving unit for driving the driving roll 441.

　図３（ｃ）及び（ｄ）の追加参照から理解できるように、搬送機構４４０は、下止め１１３が端部近傍に配されたスペース部１１６を切断部４３０に移送するように動作する。この場合、第１ファスナーチェーン１０１の搬送方向、つまり鉛直方向において異なる位置に下止め取り付け部４２０と切断部４３０を配置することができる。下止め取り付け部４２０と切断部４３０の間で生じ得る空間制約の問題を回避又は低減することができる。 As can be understood from the additional reference in FIGS. 3C and 3D, the transport mechanism 440 operates so as to transfer the space portion 116 in which the bottom stopper 113 is arranged near the end portion to the cutting portion 430. In this case, the bottom attachment part 420 and the cutting part 430 can be arranged at different positions in the conveying direction of the first fastener chain 101, that is, in the vertical direction. Spatial constraint problems that may occur between the bottom stop mounting portion 420 and the cutting portion 430 can be avoided or reduced.
　コントローラーは、様々な制御を行う。例えば、コントローラーは、スペース形成部４１０のカッター４１１の作動タイミング、下止め取り付け部４２０のパンチ４２１の作動タイミング、及び切断部４３０の切断刃４３１の作動タイミングを制御する。具体的なタイミングシーケンスは、本開示内容を踏まえれば、当業者には自明であり、その詳細説明は省略する。 The controller performs various controls. For example, the controller controls the operation timing of the cutter 411 of the space forming unit 410, the operation timing of the punch 421 of the lower stopper mounting unit 420, and the operation timing of the cutting blade 431 of the cutting unit 430.

　図６及び図７に示すように、線材蓄積部４７０は、線材１１３ｋが巻かれるリール４７１と、リール４７１の径方向内側に付勢された押圧具４７２によりリール４７１に巻かれた線材１１３ｋを押圧する押さえ機構４７５を有する。図示例では、一対の押圧具４７２がリール４７１を挟み込むように配される。各押圧具４７２が各枢動リンク４７３の一端部に設けられる。枢動リンク４７３同士がバネ４７４により結合し、枢動リンク４７３の一端部の押圧具４７２がリール４７１の径方向内側に常に付勢される。押圧具４７２は、リール４７１の回転軸に沿って延び、十分な範囲でリール４７１に巻かれた線材１１３ｋを径方向内側に押すことができる。 As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the wire rod accumulating unit 470 presses the wire rod 113k wound around the reel 471 by the reel 471 around which the wire rod 113k is wound and the pressing tool 472 biased radially inward of the reel 471. And a holding mechanism 475 for holding. In the illustrated example, a pair of pressing tools 472 are arranged so as to sandwich the reel 471. Each pressing tool 472 is provided at one end of each pivot link 473. The pivot links 473 are coupled to each other by a spring 474, and the pressing tool 472 at one end of the pivot link 473 is always urged radially inward of the reel 471. The pressing tool 472 extends along the rotation axis of the reel 471, and can push the wire 113k wound around the reel 471 in a sufficient range inward in the radial direction.
　リール４７１の回転軸が鉛直方向に一致するように線材蓄積部４７０が配向される場合、リール４７１に巻かれた線材１１３ｋが解け、線材１１３ｋの巻き付け状態を維持できないことが懸念される。本実施形態においては、上述の押圧具４７２の作動により、線材１１３ｋの巻き付け状態を好適に維持可能である。リール４７１から引き出される線材片１１３ｆは、１以上の中継ロール４７７を介して線材加工部４８０に供給される。 When the wire accumulation part 470 is oriented so that the rotation axis of the reel 471 coincides with the vertical direction, there is a concern that the wire 113k wound around the reel 471 is unwound and the winding state of the wire 113k cannot be maintained. In the present embodiment, the winding state of the wire 113k can be suitably maintained by the operation of the pressing tool 472 described above. The wire piece 113f pulled out from the reel 471 is supplied to the wire processing unit 480 via one or more relay rolls 477.
　線材加工部４８０は、線材蓄積部４７０から供給される線材１１３ｋを加工する。この線材加工部４８０による加工により、１以上の脚が設けられた線材片１１３ｆが得られる。線材片１１３ｆは、線材加工部４８０から下止め取り付け部４２０へ任意の方法又は態様で供給される。リール４７１の回転軸が鉛直方向に一致することで、第２ファスナーチェーン１０２の表裏面に対して、線材１１３ｋを平行に供給することができ、第２ファスナーチェーン１０２に取り付ける姿勢で線材片１１３ｆを加工することができる。 The wire rod processing unit 480 processes the wire rod 113k supplied from the wire rod accumulation unit 470. By the processing by the wire processing unit 480, a wire piece 113f provided with one or more legs is obtained. The wire piece 113f is supplied from the wire processing portion 480 to the bottom attachment portion 420 by any method or aspect. Since the rotation axis of the reel 471 coincides with the vertical direction, the wire rod 113k can be supplied in parallel to the front and back surfaces of the second fastener chain 102, and the wire rod piece 113f is attached to the second fastener chain 102 in a posture to be attached. Can be processed.
　図８の図示例に係る下止め取り付け部４２０は、パンチ４２１、第１ガイド４２２、第２ガイド４２３、及びダイ４２４を含む。パンチ４２１は、不図示の駆動源、例えば、シリンダーからの駆動力に応じて図８（ａ）の待機位置と図８（ｂ）の作動位置の間で変位可能である。第１ガイド４２２及び第２ガイド４２３は、パンチ４２１の移動を案内するように構成された筒状部材である。ダイ４２４には、線材片１１３ｆの脚部を曲げ加工するべく凹部が設けられる。 8 includes a punch 421, a first guide 422, a second guide 423, and a die 424. The punch 421 can be displaced between a standby position shown in FIG. 8A and an operating position shown in FIG. 8B in accordance with a driving source (not shown) such as a cylinder. The first guide 422 and the second guide 423 are cylindrical members configured to guide the movement of the punch 421. The die 424 is provided with a recess to bend the leg of the wire piece 113f.
　線材片１１３ｆが第１ガイド４２２に供給される時、パンチ４２１及び第１ガイド４２２が軸線ＡＸ１０に交差又は直交する横方向に変位する。第１ガイド４２２は、第２ガイド４２３に衝突するまで横方向に変位する。パンチ４２１が第１及び第２ガイド４２２、４２３内を進行すると、線材片１１３ｆも第１及び第２ガイド４２２、４２３内を進行する。更なるパンチ４２１の進行に応じて線材片１１３ｆの脚部が、ダイ４２４上に配された第１ファスナーチェーン１０１のファスナーテープ１１１を貫通し、ダイ４２４の凹部で塑性変形される。このようにして各ファスナーエレメント１１２の端部に下止め１１３が取り付けられる。別の種類の下止めが用いられる場合、別の種類の装置や機構が用いられる。 When the wire piece 113f is supplied to the first guide 422, the punch 421 and the first guide 422 are displaced in the lateral direction intersecting or orthogonal to the axis AX10. The first guide 422 is displaced laterally until it collides with the second guide 423. When the punch 421 advances in the first and second guides 422 and 423, the wire piece 113f also advances in the first and second guides 422 and 423. As the punch 421 further advances, the leg portion of the wire piece 113 f penetrates the fastener tape 111 of the first fastener chain 101 disposed on the die 424 and is plastically deformed in the recess of the die 424. In this way, the lower stopper 113 is attached to the end of each fastener element 112. If another type of bottom stop is used, another type of device or mechanism is used.
　図９は、グリッパー対２００により把持され、鉛直方向下方に垂れ下がった姿勢を取る第２ファスナーチェーン１０２に対して仕上げ処理が施される態様を模式的に示す。図９（ａ）は、第１処理ユニット３１０の鉛直方向下方にグリッパー対２００が配されることを示す。図９（ｂ）は、第２処理ユニット３２０の鉛直方向下方にグリッパー対２００が配されることを示す。図９（ｃ）は、第３処理ユニット３３０の鉛直方向下方にグリッパー対２００が配されることを示す。図９（ｄ）は、第４処理ユニット３４０の鉛直方向下方にグリッパー対２００が配されることを示す。 FIG. 9 schematically shows an aspect in which the finishing process is performed on the second fastener chain 102 that is gripped by the gripper pair 200 and hangs downward in the vertical direction. FIG. 9A shows that the gripper pair 200 is arranged below the first processing unit 310 in the vertical direction. FIG. 9B shows that the gripper pair 200 is arranged below the second processing unit 320 in the vertical direction. FIG. 9C shows that the gripper pair 200 is arranged below the third processing unit 330 in the vertical direction. FIG. 9D shows that the gripper pair 200 is arranged below the fourth processing unit 340 in the vertical direction.
　図９（ｂ）から分かるように、第２処理ユニット３２０は、噛合エレメント１１２ｍの端部近傍にスライダー１１５を配置する。幾つかの場合、噛合エレメント１１２ｍの上端部が僅かにスライダー１１５内に配されるようにスライダー１１５が配置される。図９（ｃ）から分かるように、第３処理ユニット３３０は、第２ファスナーチェーン１０２の上端部１０２ｊのスライダー１１５を押動して少なくとも部分的に噛合エレメント１１２ｍを非噛合にする。図９（ｄ）から分かるように、第４処理ユニット３４０は、第２ファスナーチェーン１０２の各ファスナーテープ１１１に上止め１１４を取り付ける。第５処理ユニット３５０は、第２ファスナーチェーン１０２の仕上げ状態を検査するための処理ユニットである。幾つかの場合、第５処理ユニット３５０による検査結果に応じて良品又は不良品を選別するための第６処理ユニットが設けられる。 As can be seen from FIG. 9B, the second processing unit 320 arranges the slider 115 in the vicinity of the end of the meshing element 112m. In some cases, the slider 115 is arranged such that the upper end portion of the meshing element 112m is slightly disposed in the slider 115. As can be seen from FIG. 9C, the third processing unit 330 pushes the slider 115 of the upper end portion 102j of the second fastener chain 102 to at least partially disengage the engagement element 112m. As can be seen from FIG. 9D, the fourth processing unit 340 attaches the top stopper 114 to each fastener tape 111 of the second fastener chain 102. The fifth processing unit 350 is a processing unit for inspecting the finished state of the second fastener chain 102. In some cases, a sixth processing unit is provided for selecting non-defective products or defective products in accordance with the inspection result by the fifth processing unit 350.
　図１０の図示例に係る第２処理ユニット３２０は、第２ファスナーチェーン１０２の噛合エレメント１１２ｍの端部近傍にスライダー１１５を配置可能に構成される。第２処理ユニット３２０は、スライダー供給部３２０ｋ、スライダー供給部３２０ｋを昇降するための昇降部３２０ｊを含む。昇降部３２０ｊの作動に応じてスライダー供給部３２０ｋが鉛直方向沿いに上下変位可能である。図１０では、スライダー供給部３２０ｋは、周方向に変位するグリッパー対２００に干渉しない非干渉位置にある。他方、図１１では、スライダー供給部３２０ｋは、昇降部３２０ｊの作動に基づいて非干渉位置から干渉位置へ下降変位している。スライダー供給部３２０ｋの下降変位に伴い、第２ファスナーチェーン１０２の上端部１０２ｊの噛合エレメント１１２ｍの端部近傍にスライダー１１５が配される。 The second processing unit 320 according to the illustrated example of FIG. 10 is configured such that the slider 115 can be disposed in the vicinity of the end of the meshing element 112m of the second fastener chain 102. The second processing unit 320 includes a slider supply unit 320k and an elevating unit 320j for moving the slider supply unit 320k up and down. The slider supply unit 320k can be displaced vertically along the vertical direction in accordance with the operation of the elevating unit 320j. In FIG. 10, the slider supply unit 320k is in a non-interference position where it does not interfere with the gripper pair 200 displaced in the circumferential direction. On the other hand, in FIG. 11, the slider supply unit 320k is displaced downward from the non-interference position to the interference position based on the operation of the elevating unit 320j. Along with the downward displacement of the slider supply part 320k, the slider 115 is disposed in the vicinity of the end of the engagement element 112m of the upper end part 102j of the second fastener chain 102.
　図１２に示すように、干渉位置においてスライダー供給部３２０ｋが閉状態から開状態に推移し、第２ファスナーチェーン１０２の上端部１０２ｊにスライダー１１５が置き去られる。なお、スライダー供給部３２０ｋは、閉状態においてスライダー１１５を保持し、開状態においてスライダー１１５を解放するように構成される。昇降部３２０ｊの具体的な構成は様々であり得る。一例としては、昇降部３２０ｊは、シリンダーを含む。シリンダーの伸長及び縮小の制御によりスライダー供給部３２０ｋの上下位置を調整可能である。 As shown in FIG. 12, at the interference position, the slider supply unit 320k changes from the closed state to the open state, and the slider 115 is left on the upper end portion 102j of the second fastener chain 102. The slider supply unit 320k is configured to hold the slider 115 in the closed state and release the slider 115 in the open state. The specific configuration of the elevating unit 320j may vary. As an example, the elevating part 320j includes a cylinder. The vertical position of the slider supply unit 320k can be adjusted by controlling the expansion and contraction of the cylinder.
　図示例に係るスライダー供給部３２０ｋは、スライダー１１５を保持するための第１及び第２ホルダー３２１、３２２と、各ホルダー３２１、３２２が下端部に連結した一対の枢動リンク３２３、各枢動リンク３２３が枢動可能に設けられたベース３２４、及び一対の枢動リンク３２３を開閉するための押動具３２５を有する。 The slider supply unit 320k according to the illustrated example includes a first and second holders 321 and 322 for holding the slider 115, a pair of pivot links 323 in which the holders 321 and 322 are connected to the lower end, and each pivot link. 323 includes a base 324 provided to be pivotable, and a pusher 325 for opening and closing the pair of pivot links 323.
　第１ホルダー３２１は、スライダー１１５の下翼板を受容及び／又は保持するように構成される。第２ホルダー３２２は、スライダー１１５の上翼板を受容及び／又は保持するように構成される。第２ホルダー３２２にはスライダー１１５の引手との干渉を回避するための切り欠きが設けられる。幾つかの場合、押動具３２５を上下変位するための駆動源、例えば、シリンダーが設けられる。なお、押動具３２５は、ベース３２４に関して相対的に変位可能である。スライダー供給部３２０ｋの第１ホルダー３２１と第２ホルダー３２２へのスライダー１１５の供給は、様々な方法で達成可能である。 The first holder 321 is configured to receive and / or hold the lower blade of the slider 115. The second holder 322 is configured to receive and / or hold the upper wing plate of the slider 115. The second holder 322 is provided with a notch for avoiding interference with the handle of the slider 115. In some cases, a drive source for moving the pusher 325 up and down, such as a cylinder, is provided. Note that the pusher 325 can be relatively displaced with respect to the base 324. The supply of the slider 115 to the first holder 321 and the second holder 322 of the slider supply unit 320k can be achieved by various methods.
　スライダー供給部３２０ｋが閉状態の時、第１ホルダー３２１と第２ホルダー３２２によりスライダー１１５が保持され、第１ホルダー３２１と第２ホルダー３２２の間に第２ファスナーチェーン１０２の上端部１０２ｊのための挿入路が設けられる。スライダー供給部３２０ｋが下降する時、グリッパー対２００により把持された状態の第２ファスナーチェーン１０２の上端部１０２ｊが第１ホルダー３２１と第２ホルダー３２２の間の挿入路に挿通される。スライダー供給部３２０ｋの更なる下降により、第２ファスナーチェーン１０２の上端部１０２ｊが、スライダー１１５内、図示例ではその上翼板と下翼板の間に通される。幾つかの場合、噛合エレメント１１２ｍの鉛直方向沿いの上端部がスライダー１１５内に僅かに進入する位置にスライダー１１５が配される。 When the slider supply unit 320k is in the closed state, the slider 115 is held by the first holder 321 and the second holder 322, and the upper end 102j of the second fastener chain 102 is interposed between the first holder 321 and the second holder 322. An insertion path is provided. When the slider supply part 320k descends, the upper end part 102j of the second fastener chain 102 held by the gripper pair 200 is inserted into the insertion path between the first holder 321 and the second holder 322. By further lowering of the slider supply part 320k, the upper end part 102j of the second fastener chain 102 is passed through the slider 115, in the illustrated example, between its upper and lower blades. In some cases, the slider 115 is disposed at a position where the upper end portion along the vertical direction of the meshing element 112 m slightly enters the slider 115.
　上述の挿入路は、第１ホルダー３２１と第２ホルダー３２２の各対向面により規定される。第１ホルダー３２１の対向面には傾斜面３２１ｊが設けられる。第２ホルダー３２２の対向面には傾斜面３２２ｊが設けられる。図１１に示すように、第１ホルダー３２１と第２ホルダー３２２によりスライダー１１５が保持される時、各傾斜面３２１ｊ、３２２ｊがテーパー状に配向され、挿入路の挿入口がより広く確保できる。 The above-described insertion path is defined by the opposing surfaces of the first holder 321 and the second holder 322. An inclined surface 321j is provided on the opposing surface of the first holder 321. An inclined surface 322j is provided on the opposing surface of the second holder 322. As shown in FIG. 11, when the slider 115 is held by the first holder 321 and the second holder 322, the inclined surfaces 321 j and 322 j are oriented in a tapered shape, so that a wider insertion port can be secured.
　図１３及び図１４の対比から理解できるように、上翼板を保持するための第２ホルダー３２２は、スペース部１１６の左右両側に残存するファスナーエレメントの残骸や噛合エレメント１１２ｍを案内するためのガイド部３２２ｍ、３２２ｎを含む。ガイド部３２２ｍ、３２２ｎは、鉛直方向に交差又は直交する横方向において間隔を空けて設けられる。ガイド部３２２ｍ、３２２ｎの各対向面は、鉛直方向下方で広がるようにテーパー状に配置されている。ファスナーエレメントの残骸や噛合エレメント１１２ｍのより円滑な挿入が確保される。 As can be understood from the comparison between FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the second holder 322 for holding the upper blade is a guide for guiding the remains of the fastener elements and the meshing elements 112 m remaining on the left and right sides of the space 116. Parts 322m and 322n. The guide portions 322m and 322n are provided at intervals in the horizontal direction that intersects or is orthogonal to the vertical direction. The opposing surfaces of the guide portions 322m and 322n are arranged in a tapered shape so as to spread downward in the vertical direction. Smoother insertion of the remains of the fastener element and the engagement element 112m is ensured.
　押動具３２５の下降により一対のホルダー３２１、３２２の間隔が広げられ、第２ファスナーチェーン１０２の上端部１０２ｊに挿通されたスライダー１１５からホルダー３２１、３２２を離し、第２ファスナーチェーン１０２側にスライダー１１５を置き放すことができる。 When the pusher 325 is lowered, the distance between the pair of holders 321 and 322 is widened, and the holders 321 and 322 are separated from the slider 115 inserted through the upper end portion 102j of the second fastener chain 102, and the slider is moved to the second fastener chain 102 side. 115 can be left alone.
　図示例の押動具３２５は、図１１に示すように、鉛直方向下方側に向けて幅狭になるようにテーパー付けられたテーパー部３２５ｒを有する。各枢動リンク３２３は、鉛直方向下方に向けて互いに接近するように設けられた突起部３２３ｒを有する。かかる構成により、押動具３２５の下降により第１ホルダー３２１と第２ホルダー３２２の間隔を緩慢に広げることができる。 As shown in FIG. 11, the pusher 325 in the illustrated example has a tapered portion 325r that is tapered so as to become narrower toward the lower side in the vertical direction. Each pivot link 323 has a protrusion 323r provided so as to approach each other downward in the vertical direction. With this configuration, the distance between the first holder 321 and the second holder 322 can be slowly increased by the lowering of the pusher 325.
　第３処理ユニット３３０は、図１５及び図１６から分かるように、鉛直方向沿いに上下変位可能な可動ロッド３３１と、可動ロッド３３１の外周から径方向外側に突出する押動突起３３２を含む。第３処理ユニット３３０は、第２処理ユニット３２０と同様、可動ロッド３３１を昇降するための昇降部を有するが、説明の簡潔さのため、その図示及び説明は省略する。 15 and 16, the third processing unit 330 includes a movable rod 331 that can be displaced vertically along the vertical direction, and a push projection 332 that projects radially outward from the outer periphery of the movable rod 331. As with the second processing unit 320, the third processing unit 330 has an elevating unit for elevating the movable rod 331, but illustration and description thereof are omitted for the sake of brevity.
　可動ロッド３３１の下降により押動突起３３２が下降し、押動突起３３２がグリッパー対２００により把持された第２ファスナーチェーン１０２の上端部１０２ｊに配されたスライダー１１５に衝突する。続いて、スライダー１１５が押動突起３３２により鉛直方向下方に押動され、ある範囲で噛合エレメント１１２ｍが非噛合になる。グリッパー対２００は、スライダー１１５の後進を促進するべく可動ロッド３３１の下降に同調して制御される。端的には、グリッパー対２００の間隔を増加する制御が実行される。 When the movable rod 331 is lowered, the pushing protrusion 332 is lowered, and the pushing protrusion 332 collides with the slider 115 disposed on the upper end portion 102j of the second fastener chain 102 held by the gripper pair 200. Subsequently, the slider 115 is pushed downward in the vertical direction by the pushing protrusion 332, and the meshing element 112m is disengaged within a certain range. The gripper pair 200 is controlled in synchronization with the lowering of the movable rod 331 to promote the backward movement of the slider 115. In short, control for increasing the distance between the gripper pair 200 is executed.
　本実施形態においては、第２処理ユニット３２０において噛合エレメント１１２ｍの端部近傍にスライダー１１５を配置し、第３処理ユニット３３０でスライダーを押動して少なくとも部分的に噛合エレメント１１２ｍを非噛合にする。すなわち、スライダーの配置とスライダーの押動を異なる処理ユニットに割り当てる。かかる場合、スライダーの供給に関する異常を簡単に検知することが許容される。幾つかの場合、イメージセンサー及びコンピューターが用いられ、第３処理ユニット３３０の動作後、所定範囲内にスライダー１１５が下方変位したか否かが判定される。 In the present embodiment, the slider 115 is disposed in the second processing unit 320 near the end of the meshing element 112m, and the third processing unit 330 pushes the slider to at least partially disengage the meshing element 112m. . That is, the arrangement of the slider and the pushing of the slider are assigned to different processing units. In such a case, it is allowed to easily detect an abnormality related to the supply of the slider. In some cases, an image sensor and a computer are used, and after the operation of the third processing unit 330, it is determined whether or not the slider 115 is displaced downward within a predetermined range.
　図１７及び図１８の比較から分かるように、両方のファスナーエレメント１１２がスライダー１１５に挿通され、スライダー１１５が適切な姿勢を取っていれば、スライダー１１５が真っ直ぐに鉛直方向下方に押動される。他方、一方のファスナーエレメント１１２がスライダー１１５に挿通されず、スライダー１１５が異常な姿勢を取っているならば、スライダー１１５が真っ直ぐに鉛直方向下方に押動されない。スライダー１１５の位置を検知することにより、スライダーの供給に関する異常を簡単に検知することが可能になる。金属感知センサー、反射センサー等の様々な検出手段が採用され得る。 As can be seen from the comparison between FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, if both the fastener elements 112 are inserted into the slider 115 and the slider 115 is in an appropriate posture, the slider 115 is pushed straight down in the vertical direction. On the other hand, if one fastener element 112 is not inserted into the slider 115 and the slider 115 is in an abnormal posture, the slider 115 is not pushed straight downward in the vertical direction. By detecting the position of the slider 115, it is possible to easily detect an abnormality related to the supply of the slider. Various detection means such as a metal detection sensor and a reflection sensor can be adopted.
　図１９から分かるように、第４処理ユニット３４０には、少なくとも一対の上止め取り付け部が含まれる。各上止め取り付け部は、図８に示した下止め取り付け部４２０と同様の構成を有する。上止め取り付け部は、パンチ３４１、第１ガイド３４２、第２ガイド３４３、及びダイ３４４を含む。パンチ３４１は、不図示の駆動源、例えば、シリンダーからの駆動力に応じて図１９（ａ）の待機位置と図１９（ｂ）の作動位置の間で変位可能である。第１ガイド３４２及び第２ガイド３４３は、パンチ３４１の移動を案内するように構成された筒状部材である。ダイ３４４には、線材片１１４ｇの脚部を曲げ加工するべく凹部が設けられる。 As can be seen from FIG. 19, the fourth processing unit 340 includes at least a pair of top stopper mounting portions. Each upper stopper attaching portion has the same configuration as the lower stopper attaching portion 420 shown in FIG. The top stopper mounting portion includes a punch 341, a first guide 342, a second guide 343, and a die 344. The punch 341 can be displaced between a standby position shown in FIG. 19A and an operating position shown in FIG. 19B in accordance with a driving source (not shown), for example, a driving force from a cylinder. The first guide 342 and the second guide 343 are cylindrical members configured to guide the movement of the punch 341. The die 344 is provided with a recess to bend the leg of the wire piece 114g.
　線材片１１４ｇが第１ガイド３４２に供給される時、パンチ３４１及び第１ガイド３４２が軸線ＡＸ１０に交差又は直交する横方向に変位する。第１ガイド３４２は、第２ガイド３４３に衝突するまで横方向に変位する。パンチ３４１が第１及び第２ガイド３４２、３４３内を進行すると、線材片１１４ｇも第１及び第２ガイド３４２、３４３内を進行する。更なるパンチ３４１の進行に応じて線材片１１４ｇの脚部が、ダイ３４４上に配された第２ファスナーチェーン１０２のファスナーテープ１１１を貫通し、ダイ３４４の凹部で塑性変形される。このようにして各ファスナーエレメント１１２の端部に上止め１１４が取り付けられる。別の種類の上止めが用いられる場合、別の種類の装置や機構が用いられる。線材片１１４ｇは、線材片１１３ｆと同様にして上止め取り付け部に供給され得る。図１９は、一方のファスナーストリンガー１１０に対して上止め１１４が取り付けられることを示す。他方のファスナーストリンガー１１０に対する上止め１１４の取り付けも同様に構成され得る。 When the wire piece 114g is supplied to the first guide 342, the punch 341 and the first guide 342 are displaced in the lateral direction intersecting or orthogonal to the axis AX10. The first guide 342 is displaced laterally until it collides with the second guide 343. When the punch 341 advances in the first and second guides 342 and 343, the wire piece 114g also advances in the first and second guides 342 and 343. As the punch 341 further advances, the leg portion of the wire piece 114 g penetrates the fastener tape 111 of the second fastener chain 102 disposed on the die 344 and is plastically deformed in the concave portion of the die 344. In this way, the upper stopper 114 is attached to the end of each fastener element 112. If another type of top stop is used, another type of device or mechanism is used. The wire piece 114g can be supplied to the top stopper mounting portion in the same manner as the wire piece 113f. FIG. 19 shows that a top stop 114 is attached to one fastener stringer 110. The attachment of the top stop 114 to the other fastener stringer 110 can be similarly configured.
