Definitions

This invention pertains to the technological field of the design of zippers, i.e., the well-known devices that are used to create a reversible connection between two edges made of fabric, leather, or other materials.
two facing members each of which consists of a row of appropriately shaped teeth, are connected to one another in a reversible manner using known methods by causing a slider to run along said members; said slider consists of a movable part connected to it which is stretched between the fingers in order to be able to exert on the slider the force that is required to make it slide.
a connecting joint that has two cavities; one of said cavities is intended to mate with a raised part of said "bridge” of the slider, while the other cavity mates with a collar on the drawer.
said connecting joints are made in a single piece, for which reason said two cavities are simply closed-edge holes into which either said bridge or the collar of the drawer is inserted.
This accounts for the fact, e.g., that, for sliders that are equipped with the joint in question, it is first necessary to insert the bridge into the corresponding cavity of the joint and then to attach the bridge itself to the body of the slider by pressing, bonding, or similar techniques. This involves an operation that is time-consuming and thus costly, in addition to being somewhat complex.
the inventor of this invention has conceived a new type of joint between the slider and the drawer, which joint has characteristics such that, during the phase of designing the parts of a zipper, it is possible to mate it even to a fixed bridge, thus making it integral with the slider; said character ⁇ istics also make it possible to hook a drawer up to the joint itself in a reversible manner such that, when so desired, it can be removed without difficulty.
the object of the invention consists of a joint for connecting the slider of a zipper and the corresponding drawer, whereby said joint includes a first cavity for connecting it to the bridge of said drawer, which is characterized in the characterizing part of claim 1.
said joint includes a first cavity for connecting it to the bridge of said drawer, which is characterized in the characterizing part of claim 1.
- Fig. 1 shows a side view of a slider attached to the joint of the invention, which in the figure is in longitudinal cutaway;
- Fig. 2 shows a cross-section through the joint of
Fig. 1 made corresponding to a separate spring collar, which is used as a cavity for connecting the slider to the bridge;
Fig. 3 shows a front view of the collar spring, which is designed to bend a metal wire.
Fig. 1 in it the connection of fixed bridge 6 of a slider 1 to joint 4 is made by connecting it to a collar spring 3, which in the embodiment in question is made by bending a wire made of steel or some other material that has good compressive strength characteristics.
Lower end 3s of said collar spring 3 is open, in such a way that bridge 6 can be inserted into it. Said end 3s is then inserted into a space 11 made in joint 4.
joint 4 is secured inside of space 11 by means of simple pressure or punching force being exerted on the joint perpendicular to said joint and to said collar spring 3: the plastic deformation of the inside walls of space 11 of joint 4, which is therefore made of metallic materials that are suitable to the task and are known to one skilled in the art, creates a reliable connection that locks spring 3 to joint 4.
Collar spring 3 which is shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, is symmetrical with respect to its two median planes and has open ends that project outward, but they can be designed in other shapes that may be more suitable to particular applications.
Fig. 1 also shows the system according to the invention for ensuring the reversibility of the connection of collar 2a of a drawer 2 to joint 4: second cavity 5, which admits said hook, is composed of the bend of a hook 8 that has an opening 8a on one side; in the body of the joint itself is another attachment space 10, which is closed at the sides and into which is inserted an end 9p of a flexible straight spring 9 (see Figs. 1 and 2) , which end is appropriately shaped in order to allow firm and reliable mating with joint 4. From said end there extends a straight, flexible arm that is shaped in such a way as to enclose said bend of hook 8 with its free end 9q.
second cavity 5 which admits said hook, is composed of the bend of a hook 8 that has an opening 8a on one side; in the body of the joint itself is another attachment space 10, which is closed at the sides and into which is inserted an end 9p of a flexible straight spring 9 (see Figs. 1 and 2) , which end is appropriately shaped in order to allow
Straight spring 9 is positioned and designed in such a way as to enclose said opening 8a when no force is exerted on spring 9 itself and, owing to its elasticity, allows the edge of collar 2a of a drawer 2 to be inserted into it in order to connect the latter to joint 4. This makes it possible to insert and remove a drawer 2 into and from the bend of hook 8 without any difficulty whatsoever.
