Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: Zipper locking system Technical field
[0001] The present invention is in the field of zippers and relates to a locking system for such closures.
[0002] A zipper is defined as a mechanical device that allows for the quick connection and separation of two parts of the same article. The zipper comprises two pieces of strong fabric or a strong material such as leather, onto which are set rows of teeth, most often metallic, which constitute the sliders. The pieces of fabric or strong material, usually in the form of strips, are placed opposite each other, with the teeth offset. The passage of a slider along an actuating axis X allows, in a first direction, the teeth to be joined and the zipper closed, or in a second direction, to be separated in order to open the zipper. The pull tab is an element attached to the slider and allows the slider to be moved along the actuating axis X. Finally, stops may be used to limit or block the slider's travel at the end of the opening or closing path.
[0003] The present invention has applications in many fields, including for example the field of textiles and fashion, for all types of articles, whether clothing or accessories such as handbags, shoes or belts, or even the field of travel equipment with soft or rigid bodies such as suitcases, hand luggage, backpacks, protective cases for electronic equipment...
[0004] State of the art
[0005] Zippers have existed for many years and in many different forms.
[0006] In order to secure these devices against theft or unexpected opening, complex systems such as those described in US10820668B2 or US11647815B2 are known, for example.
[0007] The first document cited above refers to a retention system positioned on one end of the closure. Such an arrangement can lead to fragility, for example, if lateral stresses are applied to the end of the closure, which could cause the retention system to detach.
[0008] The second document proposes a system using multiple small, flexible, and deformable mechanical parts. Therefore, there is a risk of breakage and / or wear and tear without easy repair if the system were, for example, to be used too often, to become soiled or to get wet. Summary of the invention
[0009] The invention aims to improve the situation described above.
[0010] The invention aims to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art, by proposing a zipper immobilization system that is robust, secure and ergonomic for the user.
[0011] Thus, the object of the present invention relates, in a first aspect, to a fastening system for a zipper comprising a zipper disposed on an article having an outer surface, said zipper comprising two rows of toothed elements capable of being assembled and disassembled by at least one slider capable of sliding along an actuating axis between an open position and a closed position. The two rows of toothed elements are separated by a median plane of the zipper which includes the actuating axis and is preferably perpendicular to the outer surface of the article.
[0012] Said at least one slider is provided with at least one pull tab comprising a first body provided with at least one primary magnetization means.
[0013] According to the present invention, the system further comprises at least one first immobilization housing attached to said outer surface of the article and comprising at least one guide groove provided with at least one secondary magnetization means, the primary magnetization means and the secondary magnetization means being able to cooperate together so that, under the effect of a magnetic force, the first body is guided into the guide groove to come to rest there at least partially and be temporarily immobilized there when the pull tab is in the open or closed position.
[0014] Thus, thanks to the combination of the above technical features, and in particular to the cooperation of the magnetic means, the invention makes it possible, once the article is opened or closed, to immobilize the zipper pull, thereby rendering its use silent and without risk of damage to the area of the article on which it would normally swing. The risk of damaging an external element such as the user's clothing, for example a knitted fabric, also becomes virtually nonexistent.
[0015] The invention also makes it possible to secure the sliding of the slider along the axis of actuation of the closure, once the article is open or closed, this involuntary sliding being limited or blocked.
[0016] Advantageously, the invention makes it possible to limit or block, once the article is open or closed, the sliding of the zipper, particularly laterally, along a plane including the closing axis, outside the housing, for example using guide grooves and / or stops.
[0017] Advantageously, the invention allows the pull housing to be offset so that it is not fixed on one of the elements of the closure such as the slider or the pieces of fabric or strong material.
[0018] Advantageously, the invention makes it possible to do without the existence of holes in the body of the pull tab, in which objects can get stuck and initiate the unintentional opening or closing of the article.
[0019] Advantageously, the invention eliminates the need for electrical means to operate the proposed system. Therefore, there is no risk of the system becoming stuck at a crucial moment for the user, for example, due to a battery failure.
[0020] Preferably, the first body is guided in translation in the guide groove.
[0021] Preferably, the first body is guided substantially along the actuation axis in the guide groove, so that the pull tab reaches the open or closed position and that said first body comes to rest in said first housing.
[0022] Even more preferably, the first body is guided in the guide groove along the actuation axis.
[0023] Said first body is configured to fit at least partially into at least one guide groove. The first body may have a shape and / or materials that may protrude from said at least one guide groove by at least one of its openings, longitudinal and / or at the ends.
[0024] In certain variants, the first body can fit entirely into said at least one guide groove.
[0025] At least one guide groove, which enables magnetic guidance and retention, may, depending on the design requirements, the use of the article, and in particular the user's handling requirements, be: - a mechanically unretained guide groove, or - a mechanically held guide groove.
[0026] Preferably, at least one guide groove allows guidance along the actuation axis.
[0027] The orientation of the longitudinal opening of said guide groove depends on the design requirements, the use of the article, and in particular on the user's handling requirements. Thus, in preferred embodiments of the invention, said guide groove may project its longitudinal opening only along the median plane of said zipper, perpendicular to the surface of the article.
[0028] In other embodiments, said guide groove may project its longitudinal opening onto any median plane of said closure and containing the actuating axis. In still other embodiments, said guide groove may project its longitudinal opening onto several median planes of said closure and containing the actuating axis.
[0029] In certain embodiments, the first body of said at least one pull tab is fixed to said at least one slider. This has the advantage of preventing any movement between the parts and potentially eliminating the need for perforations in these parts. The risk of an object becoming trapped between the articulated parts and / or in the perforations is therefore greatly reduced.
[0030] However, since the immobilization system allows the pull tab to be pressed against the surface of the article which has it, the use of a slider cooperating with at least one degree of freedom with the first body of said at least one pull tab is conceivable.
[0031] Advantageously, the first body is configured to fit at least partially into said at least one guide groove of said first locking housing by complementary shape. This also makes it possible to limit the gaps that could allow an external object to get caught and unintentionally move the pull tab.
[0032] In order to effectively immobilize the pull tab, it must have a shape adaptable both to the article and its intended use, as well as to the user's range of motion, for example, if the user needs to be able to operate the system with one hand. Thus, the pull tab may comprise, in addition to its primary body, at least one additional body. The bodies may be movable relative to each other.
[0033] The at least one additional body may include at least one magnetization means.
[0034] Also, to reinforce the immobilization by a magnetic force provided between the guide groove of the first immobilization housing and at least a portion of the first body, said at least one pull may include on one of said first bodies and / or on at least one additional body at least one protrusion such as a rod or a fin extending at least in a plane intersecting the axis of actuation, preferably perpendicularly.
[0035] In order to cooperate with said at least one protrusion, said at least one first immobilization housing and / or said at least one second immobilization housing may include at least one securing groove extending at least in a plane intersecting the actuation axis, preferably perpendicularly.
[0036] Advantageously, said at least one pull tab may include on one of said first body and / or on the at least one additional body at least one groove attachment extending in a plane intersecting the actuation axis, preferably perpendicularly.
[0037] In addition to the immobilization by a magnetic force provided between the guide groove of the first immobilization housing and at least a portion of the first body of said at least one pull tab, the immobilization system may include at least a second immobilization housing attached to the outer surface of the article.
[0038] This second locking housing can be arranged on the surface according to the needs, the application and the article concerned. Preferably, the second locking housing is also arranged along the axis of actuation of said zipper, for example in line with the first housing or even parallel to it.
[0039] Even more preferably, said at least one first immobilization housing and said at least one second immobilization housing are one piece. This makes the manufacture and installation of the system on the article easier and faster.
[0040] The method of attaching the immobilizing housing(s) to the surface of the article depends on the nature of the article and the intended use. Those skilled in the art know how to choose and, where appropriate, combine the suitable fastening methods, such as adhesives, rivets, or stitching.
[0041] Advantageously, in order to facilitate for example the positioning of the pull tab in the housing(s), said at least one first locking housing and / or said at least one second locking housing may have at least one stop extending at least in a plane intersecting the actuation axis, preferably perpendicularly.
[0042] Most preferably, said at least one stop extends over the perimeter of said at least one guide groove.
[0043] Advantageously, said at least one stop is configured to cooperate with said at least one hook groove of said at least one first body and / or of said at least one additional body of said pull in variants where this at least one hook groove is provided.
[0044] In certain embodiments, said at least one pull tab may have a refinement zone, preferably at the level of said first body. Said refinement zone may cooperate with at least one stop having an insertion notch such as a hook or a recess, said notch being configured to accommodate said refinement zone and limit or block the translation of said pull tab along the actuation axis.
[0045] Finally, said at least one pull tab comprises at least one primary magnetization means such as a magnet, a coating or a magnetic material, preferably the first body is provided with said at least one magnetization means primary, while at least one first locking housing comprises at least one secondary magnetization means such as a magnet, a coating, or a magnetic material; preferably, said at least one guide groove is provided with said at least one secondary magnetization means. These magnetization means, by their positioning and nature, ensure guidance and temporary immobilization by a magnetic force between the pull tab and the first locking housing, preferably between the guide groove of the first locking housing and at least a portion of the first body of said pull tab.
[0046] Correspondingly, the object of the present invention relates according to a second aspect to an article of the type handbag or shoe comprising an immobilization system according to the invention. Figures

[0068] [Fig. 11]
[0069] Figure 11 represents an embodiment of a locking system according to the invention, in which the zipper comprises two sliders, each equipped with a pull tab, the bodies of which can be housed in various locking slots. Detailed description
[0070] Different embodiments of the support device according to the invention are shown below in figures 1 to 11.
[0071] Figures 1 and 2 present two common examples of zipper closures 100. Such closures may be arranged on an article A such as a garment, a shoe, luggage, a bag or any other accessory requiring an easy, flexible, inexpensive and compact means of opening and closing.
[0072] They usually comprise two rows of toothed elements D, supported by pieces of fabric or strong material such as strips B, capable of being assembled and disassembled by at least one slider 1 sliding by means of a pull tab 10 between an open position and a closed position along an actuating axis X. The closure has a median plane P including the axis X and separating the two rows of toothed elements D of the closure 100. [Fig. 2] illustrates the preferred median plane P according to the invention, which is perpendicular to the surface S of article A.
[0073] Said pull tab 10 may have one or more through openings, particularly at its free end, as illustrated in [Fig. 1]. However, these openings can be problematic if an object gets stuck in them, and there is a risk of the closure 100 sliding unintentionally. To overcome this drawback, the most common choice is a pull tab 10 made of solid material as illustrated in [Fig. 2].
[0074] Such closures 100 usually have at least one stopping edge F.
[0075] These closures 100 are arranged between two edges of said article A at the desired opening and closing location, over a length adapted to the intended use, so as to integrate at least partially an external surface S of said article A.
[0076] However, it frequently happens, for practical and / or aesthetic reasons, that at least one end of the closure, consisting of the pieces of fabric or strong material B and the teeth D, is free and protrudes from said outer surface S of said article A.
[0077] The immobilization system according to the invention, the operating principle of which is illustrated in figures 3 and 4, implements a zipper 100 having the most classic components, namely the fabric or strong material parts B, the rows of teeth D and the slider 1, for which the pull tab 10 cooperates with at least one first immobilization housing 200 attached to said outer surface S of article A.
[0078] Article A is of course capable of taking any desired shape, and the zipper 100, by its flexibility, can conform to the flat or curved surface S on which it is placed. Therefore, and as shown in Figures 2 and 4, the actuation axis X corresponds to the curve adopted by the zipper 100 during its movement between said open position and said closed position.
[0079] In certain embodiments of the invention, and as illustrated for example in [Fig. 3], two first locking housings 200 can be provided, each at one end of said closure 100. It is thus possible to lock the pull tab 10, pivotally mounted on the slider 1 in this example, either when the closure 100 is open or when it is closed. In similar variants, two pull tabs 10 can be pivotally mounted on said slider 1, or alternatively, two pull tabs 10 can form a single unit with said slider 1.
[0080] Fig. 4 illustrates an article A of the handbag type, where the pull tab 10 of the closure 100 is immobilized in a first housing 200 fixed on the outer surface S of said article A.
[0081] The system according to the invention is particularly advantageous and practical for the user, since without such an arrangement, the zipper 10 is left to dangle and swing against the bag, making it susceptible to getting caught on an object and creating noise and friction. All these situations, among others, can inconvenience the user and / or damage the item.
[0082] Thus, according to the invention, and as shown in Figures 4 to 11, the immobilization system implements at least one pull 10 comprising a first body 12 configured to fit at least partially into at least one guide groove 2 of a first immobilization housing 200. The pull 10 can be pivotally mounted on the slider 1 by means of a fastener 11, as shown in [Fig.6]. However, in some variants, the pull tab 10, 10b can be attached to said slider 1, as shown in [Fig.1 1].
[0083] Fig. 8 illustrates a variant of the invention where the pull tab 10 has a first elongated body which partially fits into the guide groove 2 of the first housing 200.
[0084] In all embodiments of the invention, said first housing 200 comprises at least one guide groove 2. Preferably, the guidance is translational along the X-axis. Said guide groove 2 is configured to temporarily immobilize and cooperate with said first body of the pull tab 10 under the effect of a magnetic force. To this end, it is provided according to the invention that at least one primary magnetization means is positioned at the level of the first body of the pull tab 10 while at least one secondary magnetization means is positioned at the level of the guide groove 2.
[0085] A person skilled in the art knows how to choose the appropriate positioning of said primary and secondary magnetization means so that the immobilizing system can function. For example, it is possible to embed magnets 40, 50 directly in the materials as illustrated in [Fig. 6], where the first body 12 of the pull tab 10 includes a magnet 40 embedded in the material. It is also possible to make the pull tab 10 and the first housing 200 entirely from naturally magnetic materials so that they magnetize each other across all their contact surfaces. Finally, [Fig. 7] illustrates a variant where only certain surfaces of the pull tab 10 and the first housing 200 are magnetized, for example, by applying a specific coating 40, 50.
[0086] It is also conceivable to use several magnets 40, 50, both at the level of the pull 10, preferably at the level of the first body 12, and at the level of a suitable portion of said first housing 200, preferably at the level of the guide groove 2. [Fig.9] illustrates such a configuration, in which several magnets 50 are located in the lateral portions 20a of the stop 20 which in this embodiment extends on three sides of the perimeter of the guide groove 2, one of the portions 20b of said stop 20 extending in a plane intersecting perpendicularly the axis X.
[0087] Any combination of materials and magnets is of course conceivable, as well as any combination of positioning for them.
[0088] Naturally, due to its practical and aesthetic aspects, a pull tab 10 according to the invention can take on various geometric configurations. Thus, in [Fig. 8], the pull tab 10 has a first body 12 and an additional body 14, preferably articulated with each other, for example by being connected by a portion 141 made of flexible material or consisting of a rotating mechanism, so that the user can position the additional body 14 so as to form a gripping groove 21. The pull 10, whose first body 12 is made of magnetic material, then overlaps by its portion 141 and by its additional body 14 the stop 20b of the first housing 200. Thus the pull 10 is held both by the magnet 50 present at the level of the guide groove 2 and by the stop 20b which limits or prohibits any translation along the X axis.
[0089] The additional body 14 may also in certain variants of the invention include at least one magnetization means.
[0090] According to another embodiment, the portion 141 and the additional body 14 can form a single one-piece additional body thus having a hook groove 21. and an elastic means such as an elastic thread arranged invisibly between the parts can connect the first body 12 and the one-piece additional body.
[0091] Figure 11 illustrates several possible aspects of the invention, including:
[0092] - the presence of two sliders la, 1b belonging to the same zipper 100;
[0093] - one of the sliders cooperates it according to at least one degree of freedom with a first body 12a of a pull tab 10a.
[0094] - the other slider 1b is integral and forms a single unit with a first body 12b of pull tab 10b;
[0095] - the pull tab 10a comprises a first body 12a, a first additional body 14a and a second additional body 16a articulated together, here in the form of links like a watch bracelet, the first body 12a cooperating with the guide groove 2a of the first immobilization housing 200a by translation and complementarity of form, while the additional bodies 14a and 16a limit or block any untimely translational movement of the cursor la;
[0096] - the pull tab 10b comprises a first body 12b and an additional body 14b, The two bodies are articulated together, here by a ball joint, so that the first body 12b is partially installed and cooperates with the guide groove 2b of the first locking housing 200b by translation and complementary shape, while the additional body 14b has a refining zone 15a followed by a flared end 15b and is positioned by pivoting in a second locking housing 201b, disposed on the surface of the article, to limit or block any unintended translational movement of the slider 1b. The second housing has a stop 201c comprising an insertion notch 19 configured to accommodate said refining zone 15a and limit or block the translation of said slider along the X-axis by retaining the flared end 15b.
[0097] The magnetization means are not shown in [Fig.1 1] in order not to clutter its visual.
[0098] According to other embodiments, it is possible to provide protection against unwanted translational movements by providing, as illustrated in [Fig. 9], a protrusion on one of the bodies of the pull tab 10, here in the form of a rod 30 extending in a plane intersecting the X-axis perpendicularly and disposed on the additional body 14 pivotally mounted relative to the first body 12 and the additional body 16. This rod 30 cooperates with a locking groove 22 extending in a plane intersecting the X-axis perpendicularly. In this example, the locking groove 22 is located at the stop 20 of the first locking housing 200.
[0099] Also, the first locking housing 200 may have several guide grooves 210, 220, and several stops 2100, 2000 and 2200 as illustrated in [Fig. 10], to accommodate the pull tab 10 according to the invention. The guide groove 210 projects its longitudinal opening exclusively along the median plane P of said zipper perpendicular to the surface S of article A. The guide groove 220 has a return stop 2200, so that the guide groove 220 projects its longitudinal opening on the one hand along the median plane P of said zipper perpendicular to the surface S of article A and on the other hand along a plane parallel to said surface S.
[0100] Thus in this embodiment example, the pull tab 10 is subjected on the one hand to a mechanically unsupported guide at the level of the groove 210 and on the other hand to a mechanically supported guide at the level of the groove 220. The person skilled in the art knows how to choose where to place magnetic elements, their number and their nature, in order to reinforce the support of the pull tab 10 while ensuring quick, easy and pleasant handling for the user.
[0101] It is easily understood that this detailed description relates to particular examples of realization and implementation of the present invention, but that in no case does this description have any limiting character to the object of the invention; on the contrary, its objective is to remove any possible imprecision or misinterpretation of the following claims.
[0102] Thus, it will be understood that the examples of closure and article presented may vary considerably in their form and structure depending on the fields of application concerned.
[0103] Similarly, the reference signs placed in parentheses in the following claims are in no way intended to be limiting; these signs are solely intended to improve the intelligibility and understanding of the following claims and the scope of the protection sought.
