y 1955 J. G. SOAVE METHOD OF PRODUCING MEASURED LENG 0F SLIDE FASTENER CHAIN Filed Sept. 22, 1953 INVENTOR JOHN G. SOAVE BY g/ I ATTORNEY United States Patent METHOD OF PRODUCING MEASURED LENGTHS F SLIDE FASTENER CHAIN John G. Soave, Long Island City, N. Y., assignor to Waldes Kohinoor, Inc., Long Island City, N. Y., a corporation of New York Application September 22, 1953, Serial No. 381,553
2 Claims. (Cl. 164-17) This invention relates to improvements in slide fastener manufacture, and more particularly to an improved and simplified method of producing measured lengths of slide fastener chain from a continuous fastener chain.
As explained in my prior application Ser. No. 375,437, filed August 21, 1953, it is common practice, in producing slide fasteners or so-called zippers in quantity for various articles such as trouser flies, to form individual fastener chains, which together with the slider and end stop or end stops constitute the fastener, from a continuous fa:-
tener chain supplied in roll form on a reel or spool, as
the term continuous fastener chain (or continuous chain) is employed in the art to designate a long length of two interconnected stringers, i. e. fastener tapes carrying uniformly spaced, interlocking fastener elements along their adjacent beaded edges for the entire length of said tapes. From such a continuous chain, measured lengths of fastener chain conforming to the length of the article being produced are either sewn to the article prior to severance from the continuous chain and are thereupon severed therefrom, or individual measured lengths of fastener chain are severed from the continuous chain and thereupon sewn to the article or are stored for future use.
The practice of the aforesaid method resulted in slide fastener chains having fastener elements attached thereto for their entire length, i. e. fastener chains devoid of element-free extensions or length portions which are desirable for the purpose of applying the fastener end stops or in sewing the end or ends of the fastener chain in the folds of an article such as the waistband of a pair of trousers without damage to the needle, as might result from the needle striking one of the fastener elements attached to the end of the fastener being sewn. To over- While satisfying the requirements of quantity produc-.
tion of fastener chains having an element-free extension at one end thereof, the aforesaid Soave method does not sufiice for the production of measured lengths of fastener chain for applications requiring an element-free extension at one end thereof, usually the bottom end, and a simple short-length gap between the fastener elements thereof located adjacent the other or top end, and more or less precisely at the point where the needle passes through the fastener tapes in their attachment to a garment waistband, for example.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method of producing from continuous chain a succession of measured lengths of fastener chain each having an element-free extension at one end and an element-free gap adjacent the other end thereof, and more 2,708,968 Patented May 24, 1955 particularly at the point or place near said other end through which the needle passes through the fastener tapes in securing the corresponding end of the fastener to a garment waistband as aforesaid.
A more particular object of the invention is to adapt the method disclosed in my aforesaid prior application Serial No. 375,437 to the production of measured lengths of fastener chain, each characterized by an element-free extension at the bottom end and an element-free gap adjacent the top end thereof.
Yet another object of the invention is the provision of a method of producing, from a continuous chain consisting of laterally spaced tapes of indeterminate length and which carry along their adjacent longitudinal edges rows of oppositely disposed and uniformly spaced fastener elements having coupling heads which are interengaged so as to secure the tapes together throughout their entire length, a succession of measured lengths of fastener or zipper chain, each invariably characterized by an elementfree extension at one end and an element-free space func tioning as a needle gap which is located adjacent the other end, but which is spaced from said other end by a small number or interengaged elements, which latter are retained for the purpose of facilitating the handling of the individual fastener chain and the insertion of its top end into the trouser waistband, for example, of insuring exact alignment of the upper ends of the continuous stringers making up the fastener chain at all times, and of in effect providing a bridge top stop for the slider upon the latter being assembled with the chain so as to provide a final fastener unit. V
The above and other obects of the invention and their manner of attainment will be explained in the following, reference being had to the accompanying drawingv in which the single figure diagrammatically illustrates the procedure of producing from continuous fastener chain measured lengths of slide fastener or zipper chain each characterized by an element-free extension at one end, usually the bottom end, and by a simple gap between the elements adjacent the other or top end thereof for accommodating the needle employed to sew the fastener chain to the article for which it is ultimately intended.
Referring to the drawing, reference character C designates a length of continuous chain supplied as from a roll thereof (not shown) and feeding from left to right. The fastener chain C is of conventional construction and comprises two laterally spaced tapes 10, 11 carrying along their adjacent longitudinal edges, which are usually beaded, rows of oppositely disposed and uniformly spaced fastener elements 12, 13, whose coupling heads are interengaged so as to secure the tapes together throughout their entire length. As explained in my aforesaid prior application Serial N 0. 375,437, measured lengths of chain designated by the reference characters X, X1, X2, X3, and so on, corresponding to the desired measured lengths of fastener chain being produced, are drawn from the roll of continuous chain C with a step-by-step movement, and said drawn-off lengths are advanced along a fixed path of movement. In progressing along said path, the continuous chain travels beneath an element-removing punch D and a cut-off blade or punch E, which punches are shown to be spaced a fixed distance apart. During each interval that the chain C is at rest, the punches D and E are operated, preferably in synchronism. The punch D serves to remove a plurality of the fastener elements 12, 13 from a predetermined portion a of the chain, which pol tion has length corresponding to that of the element-free extension desired to be provided in the fastener chain being produced and, by virtue of the position of the punch D with relation to the feed motion of the chain, is invariably located immediately forwardly of the line of separation In between the drawn-off lengths of chain then hav ing the positions with respect to the punch corresponding to the positions of the drawn-off length X1 and the next following drawn-off length X2. Simultaneously with said element-removing operation, the cut-off punch E operates to sever the most advanced drawn-off length X from the continuous chain C along a line of severance corresponding to the line of separation b between said most advanced drawn-off length and the next following drawn-off length X1. Thus, each operation of the punches D and E results in the production of a desired length of fastener chain having an element-free extension at one end thereof, which may be taken as the bottom end.
To adapt the aforesaid method of my prior application to the production of measured lengths of fastener chain having an element-free needle gap adjacent its top end, in addition to the aforesaid element-free extension at its bottom end, it suffices to remove but a few (two or three) of the uppermost fastener elements 12, 13 from each fastener chain being produced. The removed elements need not be and preferably are not the topmost elements, since the point at which the sewing needle passes through the chain tapes is usually somewhat lower than said topmost elements. Hence, the two or three elements removed may be those spaced from the top end of the fastener chain a distance taken up by the topmost two or three elements, which latter are retained in their interengaged relation. As to the retention of said topmost elements, such is desirable as they function to hold the topmost ends of the fastener tapes together and hence they accurately align the tapes at all times, they properly relate the tapes during the insertion of the top end of the fastener into the garment fold or waistband and during sewing thereof to said garment or waistband, and, finally, they serve as a bridge top stop for the slider upon assembly thereof with the chain to provide the finished fastener.
According to the invention, the removal of the small number of fastener elements as required to provide the desired needle gap adjacent the top end of each length of fastener chain being produced is effected as follows: The aforesaid element-removing punch D is provided with an extension portion D also serving as an elementremoving punch and which has length (as measured in the direction of fastener length) corresponding to the length of the element-free gap desired to be provided in the fastener chain being produced and which is moreover spaced rearwardly of the punch D a distance occupied by two or three elements just to the rear of the aforesaid line of separation b1 between the drawn-off lengths X1 and X2. That is to say, the punch combination D and D always operates on two consecutive drawn-off lengths of chain corresponding to those designated X1 and X2. Hence, by the aforesaid punch arrangement, each operation of the combined punches D and D results not only in the removal of fastener elements 12, 13 from the portion a of the chain located immediately forwardly of the line of separation between each two consecutive drawn-off lengths of chain C advancing along the path of chain movement, but also in the removal of a small number of elements from a short-length portion designated g of the next following drawn-off length of the chain, which short-length portion has length correspond ing to the length of the gap desired to be provided in the fastener chain being produced and is spaced rearwardly from said line of separation the distance occupied by the two or three elements to be retained at the top end of said fastener chain. The described arrangement of elementremoving and cut-off punches also insures that every measured length of chain severed by the cut-off punch E is provided adjacent its most advanced end with an element-free gap corresponding to the gap g and with an element-free extension corresponding to the portion a at its rearward end, thereby to achieve the objectives of the invention as outlined in the foregoing.
By removing, removed, removal, etc., as used herein in stating the function of the punches D and D is meant that the coupling-head ends of the interengaged fastener elements are cut through by said punches to the extent that the coupling-jaw ends of said elements either themselves disengage or drop away from the tapes or that they may be simply disengaged therefrom as by means of a wire brush, a jet of air, and the like.
As many changes could be made in the practice of the above described method without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
I claim:
1. The method of producing measured lengths of slide fastener chain, each having an element-free extension at its bottom end and an element-free gap adjacent its top end, from a supply of continuous fastener chain consisting of laterally spaced tapes carrying along their adjacent longitudinal edges rows of oppositely disposed, uniformly spaced fastener elements having coupling heads which are interengaged so as to secure the tapes together throughout their entire length, which comprises the steps of drawing a succession of measured lengths of chain corresponding to the desired measured length of fastener chain being produced from the supply thereof with a step-bystep movement, advancing said drawn-off lengths of chain along a predetermined path of movement, as said drawnoif lengths progress along said path and during the interval between each two drawing-off operations cutting away the coupling-head ends thereof from the interengaged fastener elements of two short-length portions of the chain thereby to effect removal of the fastener elements carried by said portions, one of said portions being located immediately forwardly of the line of separation between two consecutive drawn-off lengths of chain and having length corresponding to that of the element-free extension desired to be provided at the bottom of the finished measured lengths of fastener being produced, and the other of said portions being located in the following one of said two consecutive drawn-01f lengths of chain and having length and being spaced rearwardly by a small number of retained elements from said line of separation between said lengths a distance corresponding to the length of the element-free gap and to the spacing thereof from the top end of said finished measured lengths of fastener being produced, respectively, and simultaneously with said cutting-off operation severing the most advanced drawn-off length of chain having elements removed therefrom as aforesaid from the next following length along a line of severance corresponding to the line of separation between said lengths.
2. The method of producing measured lengths of slide fastener chain, each having an element-free extension at its bottom end and an element-free gap adjacent its top end, from a supply of continuous fastener chain consisting of laterally spaced tapes carrying along their adjacent longitudinal edges rows of oppositely disposed, uniformly spaced fastener elements having coupling heads which are interengaged so as to secure the tapes together through their entire length, which comprises the steps of drawing a succession of measured lengths of chain corresponding to the desired measured length of fastener chain being produced from the supply thereof with a step-bystep movement, advancing said drawn-off lengths of chain along a predetermined path of movement, in the interval between each two drawing-off operations severing the most advanced drawn-off length of chain from the next following length thereof along a line of severance corresponding to the line of separation therebetween, and simultaneously with said severing operation cutting away the coupling-head ends thereof from the interengaged fastener elements of two short-length portions of the chain which are located, respectively, in two consecutive drawn-off lengths of chain disposed rearwardly of said most advanced length of chain, thereby to effect removal of the fastener elements from said portions, one of said portions being located immediately forwardly of the line of separation between said two consecutive drawn-01f lengths of chain and having length corresponding to the element-free extension desired to be provided at the bottom end of the finished measured lengths of fastener being produced, and the other of said portions having length and being spaced rearwardly from said line of separation by a small number of retained interengaged elements a distance corresponding to the length of the element-free gap and to the spacing thereof from the top end, respectively, of said finished measured lengths of fastener being produced.
