DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a guide for holding a fastener, which is arranged in a mold of a molding main body, in a preparatory stage of an insert molding process for integrally attaching a belt-shaped fastener to a molding main body. The present invention relates to a fastener positioning member used for positioning a fastener at an appropriate position. Further, the present invention relates to a fastener having a self-positioning function for such a guide.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Vehicle seats, office or home chairs,
In an article such as a mattress having a cushioning core material formed of a molded article of a foamable resin material and a flexible coating material such as a cloth or leather covering the surface of the core material, the coating material is coated with a core material. It is known to use a face-to-face engagement type fastener (so-called hook-and-loop fastener) in which a plurality of engagement elements are arranged on one surface of a base, that is, a main surface, for fixing to a material. In particular, for articles such as seats and chairs, it is desired to provide a high level of comfort to the user. Therefore, as a fixing means for fixing the coating material to the core material, the core material is fixed along the seam of the coating material. There is a tendency to use band-shaped fasteners that can be arranged in elongated grooves recessed on the surface (for example, see JP-A-11-1).
No. 27915).

[0003] In order to fixedly install such a band-shaped fastener at a desired position on the surface of the core material with the engagement element group being exposed, the fastener is inserted into a mold of the core material which is a molding main body. And an insert molding method in which the fastener is fixed to the core simultaneously with the molding of the core can be advantageously applied. In this insert molding method, an elongated rail-shaped guide for holding the fastener in a predetermined posture is laid in a mold mainly formed by molding. The guide usually has an elongated groove capable of accommodating the base of the fastener and the group of engaging elements, and the fastener inserts the group of engaging elements and the base into the groove and inserts the back surface of the base (the opposite side of the main surface). Surface is exposed on the guide. Note that, in the mold of the forming main body, guides of the number corresponding to the number of fasteners to be equipped on the forming main body are laid in an arrangement corresponding to the arrangement of the fasteners.

Conventionally, when a fastener is installed on a guide of this type, the longitudinal end of the base of the fastener is substantially aligned with the longitudinal end of the guide, and then the operator manually performs this alignment. The engaging element group and the base were progressively pushed into the groove from the end to the other end in the longitudinal direction.
Here, the groove of the guide can normally hold the base in a proper position so that the displacement of the fastener due to the flow of the molten material and the infiltration of the molten material into the base main surface side of the fastener can be prevented during molding of the molding main body. It has various dimensions and shapes. Therefore, when pushing the fastener into the groove of the guide, the worker generally applies the required pressing force to the back surface of the base gradually in the longitudinal direction by using a spatula-shaped pressing tool or a pressing roller, thereby applying the fastener. The guide was properly installed.

[0005]

According to the above-mentioned conventional method of manually attaching a fastener to a guide, when it is required to equip a molding subject with a plurality of fasteners, the plurality of guides are sequentially attached to the plurality of guides. Must be installed one by one. As a result, it takes time to install the fastener, and there is a concern that the productivity of the molding body with the fastener may not be improved. In particular, when it is required to extend a plurality of fasteners in a direction intersecting with each other and arrange them on the molding main body, the operator may apply the plurality of guides laid in the mold in the corresponding arrangement. It is necessary to install the fasteners while gradually applying a pressing force to the fasteners in different directions one by one, and there was a concern that the working time would be significantly increased. In addition, in order to accurately position the individual fasteners at appropriate positions and quickly install the fasteners in such a plurality of guides extending in different directions, skill of operation has been required.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a fastener in a preparatory stage of an insert molding process for integrally attaching a belt-shaped fastener to a molding main body with respect to a fastener holding guide arranged in a mold of the molding main body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a fastener positioning member that can accurately and quickly position a proper position, thereby reducing the time required for fastener installation work and improving the productivity of articles with fasteners. Another object of the present invention is to provide a fastener that has a self-positioning function for the above-described guide and that can reduce the time required for fastener installation work and improve the productivity of articles with fasteners.
