Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the retail industry and more particularly to plastic fasteners used in the retail industry.
  • Plastic fasteners are commonly utilized in the retail industry in a variety of different applications to couple together two or more separate items. For instance, plastic fasteners are often used to couple together (i) a pair of complementary articles of clothing, such as socks, gloves and the like, (ii) a merchandise tag, or ticket, to one or more articles of clothing (e.g., a merchandise ticket folded over the waistline of a pair of jeans), and (iii) a handheld item (e.g., a tool or toy) to its corresponding packaging (e.g., a screwdriver disposed against the front surface of a flat, cardboard display card).
  • a pair of complementary articles of clothing such as socks, gloves and the like
  • a merchandise tag, or ticket to one or more articles of clothing
  • a handheld item e.g., a tool or toy
  • packaging e.g., a screwdriver disposed against the front surface of a flat, cardboard display card
  • Plastic fasteners of the type described above are commonly fabricated as part of a continuously connected supply of fastener stock, which is also commonly referred to in the art simply as ladder stock due to its ladder-like appearance.
  • Fig. 1 there is shown a length of ladder stock that is presently manufactured and sold by Avery Dennison Corporation of Pasadena, California under the PLASTIC STAPLE ® and ELASTIC STAPLETM lines of plastic fasteners.
  • a length of ladder stock is shown, the ladder stock being identified generally by reference numeral 11.
  • Ladder stock 11 comprises a pair of elongated and continuous side members, or rails, 13 and 15 which are interconnected by a plurality of equidistantly spaced cross-links 17.
  • each fastener 18 is obtained from ladder stock 11 by severing side members 13 and 15 at the approximate midpoint between successive cross-links 17.
  • each fastener 18 comprises a pair of cross-bars 19 and 21 which are interconnected by a thin, flexible filament 23, with cross-bars 19 and 21 comprising sections of side members 13 and 15, respectively, and filament 23 comprising a cross-link 17.
  • Fastener dispensing device, or machine, 30 comprises a substantially enclosed, protective housing 39 that serves to protect the majority of the electrical and mechanical components in device 30.
  • An arcuate recess 41 is formed in the top surface of housing 39.
  • a cylindrical reel holder 43 which is mounted onto housing 39, extends laterally through recess 41 and is dimensioned to pass axially through a longitudinal bore formed in a reel, or spool, 45 around which ladder stock 11 is wound. Accordingly, holder 43 serves to support reel 45 within recess 41 and enable reel 45 to rotate freely during normal operation, thereby rendering device 10 capable of continuously dispensing plastic fasteners in an automated fashion.
  • Fastener dispensing device 30 additionally includes a motor-driven head assembly 53 that is disposed within the front end of protective housing 39 and is responsible for, inter alia, dispensing an individual fastener 18 from ladder stock 11.
  • head assembly 53 includes a vertically extending mount 55 that is fixedly retained in place, mount 55 being generally U-shaped in lateral cross-section.
  • a motor-driven, vertically displaceable head 57 is slidably coupled to mount 55 for purposes to become apparent below.
  • Head assembly 53 comprises a pair of hollow, slotted needles 59-1 and 59-2 that is fixedly coupled to vertically displaceable head 57 and is therefore adapted to selectively penetrate through the one or more items to be fastened, a feed mechanism 61 for advancing side members 13 and 15 of ladder stock 11 into axial alignment behind the longitudinal bores defined by needles 59-1 and 59-2, respectively, a severing mechanism 63 for cutting side members 13 and 15 of ladder stock 11 at the approximate midpoint between successive cross-links 17 to separate an individual plastic fastener 18 from the remainder of ladder stock 11, and an ejection mechanism 65 for ejecting cross-bars 19 and 21 of the severed fastener 18 through the bores of the pair of hollowed needles 59 and, in turn, through the one or more items previously penetrated by needles 59.
  • plastic fasteners such as prior art fastener 18, are commonly constructed using one or more flexible plastic materials, such as nylon, polypropylene and polyurethane. This selection of plastic materials, as well the particular method of its manufacture, typically yields a plastic fastener with a relatively low coefficient of friction. As can be appreciated, the creation of a plastic fastener with a low coefficient of friction has been traditionally regarded as providing certain benefits, such as ease in handling, packaging and dispensing.
  • a plastic fastener comprising (a) a flexible filament having a first end and a second end, and (b) a first enlargement disposed at the first end of the flexible filament, (c) wherein at least one of the flexible filament and the first enlargement comprises an adhesive material.
  • a method for coupling together a plurality of items comprising the steps of (a) providing a plastic fastener, the plastic fastener comprising a flexible filament having a first end and a second end, and a first enlargement disposed at the first end of the flexible filament, (b) dispensing the plastic fastener into the plurality of items, and (c) treating the plastic fastener until tacky.

Abstract

Un élément de fixation en plastique (18; 111; 211) est rendu collant de façon à adhérer aux articles auxquels il est accouplé, ce qui permet de renforcer la fixation. L'élément de fixation en plastique est construit sous la forme d'une agrafe en H qui comprend une paire de barres transversales parallèles (19, 21; 113-1, 113-2; 213-1, 213-2) interconnectées par un filament souple (23; 115; 215). Dans un mode de réalisation, l'élément de fixation en plastique (111) comprend un noyau interne en plastique (117) constitué d'au moins une matière plastique souple, et un revêtement externe à base d'adhésif (119) constitué d'un adhésif sensible à la pression et/ou d'un adhésif thermoactivable. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'élément de fixation en plastique (211) est constitué d'un mélange d'au moins une matière plastique souple et d'au moins une matière adhésive. Au lieu d'incorporer une matière adhésive dans l'élément de fixation en plastique, le procédé d'accouplement d'articles confère un pouvoir adhésif à l'élément de fixation par l'application de chaleur sur l'élément de fixation en plastique (18) avant, pendant ou après distribution de celui-ci dans les articles souhaités.
