Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a slider used to open and close a slide fastener. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, sliders that can be retrofitted with pull tabs have been known as sliders used to open and close slide fasteners. For example, the slider disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a slider body that guides the elements of the slide fastener in the front-rear direction, a pull tab holder that forms a holding space between the slider body and the slider body, and a closure member that fits into an insertion gap formed in the pull tab holder. With this slider, the pull tab is attached by inserting the shank of the pull tab into the insertion gap of the pull tab holder and accommodating the shank in the shank holding space, and then fitting the closure member into the insertion gap.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2014 / 073111 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the slider disclosed in Patent Document 1, the closure member is attached to the pull-tab holder from the outside (i.e., the side opposite the shaft-holding space), so there is a possibility that the closure member may fall off the pull-tab holder due to the load applied from the shaft of the pull-tab or interference from outside. As a result, there is a problem that the pull-tab may fall off the slider.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a slider that allows a pull tab to be attached later and that can prevent the pull tab from falling off. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A slider according to a first aspect of the present invention comprises a slider body that guides an element in a front-rear direction, a pull tab holder that is provided on one side of the slider body in a vertical direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction and that holds a shaft portion of a pull tab, and a closure member attached to the pull tab holder, wherein the pull tab holder has a first end that extends from the slider body along the vertical direction, a main body that extends from the first end along the front-rear direction and forms a shaft holding space between the slider body and the main body in which the shaft portion is disposed, and and a second end portion facing the slider body on the opposite side from the first end portion and forming an insertion gap between the slider body and the main body portion, into which the shaft portion can be inserted. The main body portion has a through hole penetrating the main body portion in the up-down direction, and a pair of side wall portions facing each other via the through hole in the left-right direction perpendicular to each of the front-to-back direction and the up-down direction. The closing member has a base portion arranged between the pair of side wall portions, and a first leg portion extending from the base and fitting into the insertion gap from the shaft retaining space side.

[0007] In this configuration, the pull tab can be attached by inserting the shaft of the pull tab into the insertion gap of the pull tab holder, accommodating the shaft in the shaft holding space, and then attaching the closure member to the pull tab holder. Here, the base of the closure member is positioned inside the through-hole in the pull tab holder, i.e., between the pair of side walls, and the first leg of the closure member extends from the base and can fit into the insertion gap from the shaft holding space side. This makes the closure member less susceptible to external interference and less likely to fall off the pull tab holder. This makes it possible to provide a slider that allows the pull tab to be retrofitted and prevents the pull tab from falling off.

[0008] In the first aspect of the present invention, it is preferable that each of the pair of side walls abuts against the base in the left-right direction. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the base from slipping out of the through-hole, thereby more suitably preventing the closing member from falling off.

[0009] In the first aspect of the present invention, it is preferable that the pull tab holder has a pair of front-to-rear opposing surfaces that face each other in the front-to-rear direction via the through hole, and that each of the pair of front-to-rear opposing surfaces abuts against the closure member in the front-to-rear direction. This configuration prevents the base from slipping out of the through-hole. Furthermore, when the closure receives a load from the pull shaft that includes a front-to-rear component, the pull holder can support the closure via the front and rear opposing surfaces. This more effectively prevents the closure from falling off.

[0010] In the first aspect of the present invention, it is preferable that one of the pair of front and rear opposing surfaces is formed from the main body portion to the second end portion and abuts against each of the base portion and the first leg portion. In this configuration, when the closure member receives a load from the shaft of the pull tab that includes a front-to-rear component, the pull tab holder can more effectively support the closure member via one of the front and rear opposing surfaces.

[0011] In the first aspect of the present invention, it is preferable that the first end has a fitting portion formed thereon that opens toward the shaft holding space, and that the closing member further has a second leg portion extending from the base and fitting into the fitting portion from the shaft holding space side. In this configuration, the first leg portion can be fitted into the insertion gap from the shaft holding space side, and the second leg portion can be fitted into the fitted portion from the shaft holding space side, which makes it possible to more effectively prevent the closing member from falling off.

[0012] A slider according to a second aspect of the present invention comprises a slider body that guides an element in a front-rear direction, a pull tab holder that is provided on one side of the slider body in a vertical direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction and that holds a shaft portion of a pull tab, and a closing member that is attached to the pull tab holder, wherein the pull tab holder comprises a main body that extends along the front-rear direction and forms a shaft holding space between the main body and the pull tab holder and in which the shaft portion is disposed, a first end that extends along the vertical direction from one side of the main body in the front-rear direction and is connected to the slider body, and in which a first fitted portion that opens to the shaft holding space side is formed, and a second end that extends along the vertical direction from the other side of the main body in the front-rear direction and forms a front and a second end portion connected to the slider body and having a second fitted portion formed thereon that opens toward the shaft retaining space, the main body portion having a through hole penetrating the main body portion in the up-down direction, a pair of side wall portions facing each other via the through hole in left-right directions perpendicular to the front-to-back direction and the up-to-down direction, and a slit dividing each of the pair of side wall portions into a front portion and a rear portion in the front-to-back direction, and having an insertion gap into which the shaft portion can be inserted, the closing member having a base portion arranged between the pair of side wall portions and a pair of legs extending from the base and fitting into each of the first fitted portion and the second fitted portion from the shaft retaining space side.

[0013] In this configuration, the pull tab can be attached by inserting the shaft portion of the pull tab into the insertion gap of the pull tab holder, accommodating the shaft portion in the shaft holding space, and then attaching the closure member to the pull tab holder. Here, the base of the closure member closes the insertion gap by being positioned inside the through-hole in the pull tab holder, i.e., between the pair of sidewalls, and the pair of legs of the closure member extend from the base and can be fitted into the first and second fitted portions from the shaft holding space side. This makes the closure member less susceptible to external interference and less likely to fall off the pull tab holder. This makes it possible to provide a slider that allows the pull tab to be retrofitted and prevents the pull tab from falling off. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. The slider 1 according to this embodiment guides a pair of elements (not shown) of a slide fastener in a guide direction to engage or separate the pair of elements. As shown in Fig. 1, the slider 1 comprises a slider body 2, a pull tab holder 3 erected on the slider body 2, and a closure member 4 attached to the pull tab holder 3.

[0016] As shown in Fig. 5, a pull tab 5 that can operate the slider 1 is attached to the slider 1. The pull tab 5 includes a pull tab body 51 that is gripped by the user and a shaft portion 52 formed at the end of the pull tab body 51.

[0017] The configuration of the slider 1 will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 3. In the following description, the direction in which the slider 1 guides the element is referred to as the X direction (front-back direction), the direction perpendicular to the X direction is referred to as the Y direction (left-right direction), and the direction perpendicular to the X and Y directions is referred to as the Z direction (up-down direction, thickness direction of the slider body 2).

[0018] The slider body 2 is configured to guide a pair of element rows of the slide fastener in the X direction. Specifically, the slider body 2 includes upper and lower blades 21 and 22 that are arranged opposite each other in the Z direction, and a guide post 23 that connects the upper and lower blades 21 and 22. A guide path 24 is formed between the upper and lower blades 21 and 22, through which the pair of element rows of the slide fastener are inserted so as to be able to engage with and separate from each other, and the upper blade 21 is provided with a pair of flange portions 211A and 211B that face each other across the guide path 24. The slider body 2 can have the same structure as a conventional slider body 2, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted here. A groove 212 into which a closure member 4 (described later) is inserted is formed along the X direction on the upper surface 210 of the upper blade 21. In addition, the slider body 2 in this embodiment constitutes a slider main body 10 that is integrally molded together with the pull tab holder 3. This slider main body 10 is preferably a die-cast part, but may also be a molded product made of synthetic resin or the like.

[0019] The pull tab holder 3 is erected on the upper wing plate 21 of the slider body 2, and forms a shaft holding space S between it and the upper wing plate 21, in which the shaft 52 of the pull tab 5 is placed. The shaft holding space S is a space formed between the pull tab holder 3 and the slider body 2, and the shaft 52 is rotatable within the shaft holding space S around an axis arranged along the Y direction. In this embodiment, the handle holder 3 has a first end 31, a second end 32, and a main body 33 extending between the first end 31 and the second end 32, and is configured as a cantilever beam overall.

[0020] The first end 31 is a fixed end connected to the end of the upper blade 21 in the +X direction (for example, the front end of the upper blade 21), and extends in the +Z direction from the upper blade 21 on the +X side of the shaft-retaining space S. A groove 311 is formed in the first end 31, opening toward the shaft-retaining space S (i.e., in the -X direction) and communicating with a through-hole 33S (described below) in the main body 33. A fitted portion 31E is formed in the groove 311 of the first end 31, opening into the shaft-retaining space S via the groove 311 (see FIG. 3). The fitted portion 31E may be a recess opening into the shaft-retaining space S, or may be a hole opening into the shaft-retaining space S.

[0021] The second end 32 extends in the −Z direction from the −X direction end of the main body 33 on the −X direction side with respect to the shaft holding space S. Specifically, the second end 32 in this embodiment is a free end that faces the slider body 2 on the opposite side of the main body 33 from the first end 31, and forms an insertion gap G with the end of the upper blade 21 in the -X direction (for example, the rear end of the upper blade 21). The insertion gap G is a gap that allows the shaft 52 to be inserted into the shaft holding space S. The dimension of the second end 32 in the Y direction is smaller than the dimension of the main body 33 in the Y direction, and is equal to the dimension of a through hole 33S formed in the main body 33, which will be described later.

[0022] The main body 33 extends in the X direction between the first end 31 and the second end 32. In this embodiment, the main body 33 connects the first end 31 and the second end 32. A through hole 33S is formed in the main body 33, penetrating the main body 33 in the Z direction (see FIG. 1). The through hole 33S has a cross-sectional shape that extends in the X direction while having a constant dimension in the Y direction. As a result, the main body 33 has a pair of side wall portions 34A and 34B that face each other in the Y direction across the through hole 33S. The side wall portions 34A and 34B abut in the Y direction against a base portion 40 of the closure member 4, which will be described later.

[0023] The pull-tab holder 3 also has a front side surface 35 and a rear side surface 36 that face each other in the X direction via the through-hole 33S (corresponding to a pair of front and rear facing surfaces of the present invention). The front side surface 35 is formed from the main body portion 33 to the first end portion 31 and forms part of the bottom of the groove portion 311 of the first end portion 31. The front side surface 35 also forms an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the Z direction so that it is positioned in the +X direction as it approaches the +Z direction. The rear side surface 36 is formed from the main body portion 33 to the second end portion 32. The front side surface 35 abuts against a second leg portion 42 of the closure member 4, which will be described later, and the rear side surface 36 abuts against a base portion 40 and a first leg portion 41 of the closure member 4, which will be described later.

[0024] The closing member 4 is preferably a molded product made of, for example, synthetic resin, and is integrally formed from a flexible material. As shown in FIG. 1, the closing member 4 includes a base 40 and a first leg 41 and a second leg 42 extending from the base 40. The closure member 4 is attached to the pull-tab holder 3, thereby forming a shaft holding space S together with the pull-tab holder 3. The closure member 4 attached to the pull-tab holder 3 will be described below.

[0025] The base 40 is disposed within the through-hole 33S of the pull-tab holder 3, i.e., between the pair of side walls 34A, 34B. The base 40 abuts against the pair of side walls 34A, 34B in the Y direction and against the rear side surface 36 in the X direction. A semicircular groove 401 is formed along the Y direction at the end of the base 40 in the +X direction. The portion of the base 40 where the groove 401 is formed forms an elastically deformable flexible portion 402. The closing member 4 deforms such that the tips of the first leg 41 and the second leg 42 approach each other, mainly due to the elastic deformation of the flexible portion 402.

[0026] The first leg 41 has a leg main body 411 that extends in the -Z direction from the -X direction end of the base 40, and a fitting portion 412 that protrudes in the -X direction from the tip of the leg main body 411. The leg main body 411 extends along the second end 32 of the pull tab holder 3 and abuts against the rear side surface 36 together with the base 40. The fitting portion 412 engages with the second end 32 by fitting into the insertion gap G.

[0027] 3, a sloped surface 413 that slopes relative to the Z direction so that the sloped surface is positioned in the -X direction as it approaches the +Z direction is formed on the portion of first leg 41 that faces shaft holding space S. A semicircular recess 414 is formed between this sloped surface 413 and base 40, in which shaft 52 can be placed.

[0028] The second leg 42 has a leg main body 421 that extends in the +X and -Z directions from the +X direction end of the base 40, and a fitting portion 422 that protrudes in the +X direction from the tip of the leg main body 421. The leg main body 421 extends along the first end 31 while abutting against the front side surface 35, and is inserted into the groove 311. The fitting portion 422 engages with the first end 31 by fitting into the fitted portion 31E.

[0029] The first leg portion 41 and the second leg portion 42 are each configured to be able to pass through the through-hole 33S when the closure member 4 is attached to the pull-tab holder 3. Specifically, the Y-direction dimension of each of the first leg portion 41 and the second leg portion 42 is equal to or smaller than the gap between the pair of side wall portions 34A and 34B, i.e., the Y-direction dimension of the through-hole 33S.

[0030] A method for attaching the pull tab 5 to the slider 1 will now be described. First, the worker prepares the slider body 10 before the closure member 4 is attached, and inserts the shaft portion 52 of the pull tab 5 into the insertion gap G of the pull tab holder 3. As a result, the shaft portion 52 is accommodated in the shaft holding space S.

[0031] Next, as shown in FIG. 4 , the worker attaches the closure member 4 to the pull-tab holder 3 of the slider body 10. Specifically, the worker inserts the first leg 41 and the second leg 42 of the closure member 4 into the through-hole 33S of the pull-tab holder 3, aligns the fitting portion 412 of the first leg 41 with the insertion gap G, and then pushes the base 40 into the through-hole 33S. At this time, the flexible portion 402 of the closure member 4 elastically deforms, and the second leg 42 is guided by the front side surface 35 and moves in the −Z direction. When the second leg 42 moves over the front side surface 35, the flexible portion 402 returns to its original shape, and the fitting portion 422 of the second leg 42 fits into the fitted portion 31E from the shaft-retaining space S side. Furthermore, the fitting portion 412 of the first leg 41 fits into the insertion gap G from the shaft-retaining space S side.

[0032] After the closure member 4 is attached, the slider 1 can hold the pull tab 5 in the shaft holding space S as shown in FIG. If the slider 1 is slid in the +X direction, the shaft 52 of the pull tab 5 moves to a front position P1 within the shaft holding space S and applies a load to the slider 1 in a predetermined direction including a +X component. Here, the predetermined direction including the +X component refers to a direction obtained by rotating the slider 1 from the +X direction as a reference direction (see, for example, arrow A1 in FIG. 5) toward the +Z direction by a predetermined angle θ1 (e.g., 0° to 45°) around the front position P1 (see, for example, arrow A2 in FIG. 5). In this case, the slider 1 can receive the load applied from the shaft 52 at the pull tab holding body 3 (specifically, the first end portion 31 or the pair of side walls 34A, 34B).

[0033] When the slider 1 is slid in the −X direction, the shaft 52 of the pull tab 5 is guided by the inclined surface 413 and moves to the rear position P2 within the recess 414 of the closure member 4, and applies a load to the slider 1 in a predetermined direction including a −X direction component. Here, the predetermined direction including the −X direction component refers to a direction obtained by rotating the slider 1 from the −X direction as a reference direction (see, for example, arrow A3 in FIG. 5 ) toward the +Z direction by a predetermined angle θ2 (e.g., 0° to 45°) around the rear position P2 (see, for example, arrow A4 in FIG. 5 ). In this case, the slider 1 can receive the load applied from the shaft 52 at the pull tab holder 3 (specifically, the second end 32 or the pair of side walls 34A, 34B) via the closure member 4.

[0034] In this embodiment, the pull tab 5 can be removed from the slider 1. To remove the pull tab 5 from the slider 1, a jig is inserted into the insertion gap G to push the fitting portion 412 of the first leg portion 41 into the shaft holding space S. This causes the closure member 4 to elastically deform, and a portion of the base 40 is pushed out of the pull tab holder 3 through the through hole 33S. The worker can then grasp the portion of the base 40 pushed out of the through hole 33S and remove the closure member 4 from the through hole 33S. The worker can then remove the pull tab 5 from the pull tab holder 3 through the insertion gap G. The pull tab 5 may also be replaced by attaching a new pull tab 5.

[0035] The effects of the first embodiment will be described below. As described above, in the slider 1 of this embodiment, the pull tab 5 can be attached by inserting the shaft portion 52 of the pull tab 5 into the insertion gap G of the pull tab holder 3, accommodating the shaft portion 52 in the shaft holding space S, and then attaching the closure member 4 to the pull tab holder 3. Here, the base 40 of the closure member 4 is disposed inside the through-hole 33S in the pull-tab holder 3, i.e., between the pair of side walls 34A, 34B, and the first leg 41 of the closure member 4 extends from the base 40 and fits into the insertion gap G from the shaft holding space S side, thereby closing the insertion gap G. Therefore, the closure member 4 is less susceptible to external interference and is less likely to fall off the pull-tab holder 3. Thus, a slider 1 is provided that allows the pull tab 5 to be attached later and prevents the pull tab 5 from falling off. The pair of side walls 34A, 34B can also support the load applied to the pull tab 5 in the Y direction.

[0036] In the present embodiment, each of the pair of side walls 34A, 34B abuts against the base 40 in the Y direction. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the base 40 from slipping out of the through-hole 33S. This makes it possible to more suitably prevent the closure member 4 from falling off.

[0037] In this embodiment, the pull-tab holder 3 has a front side surface 35 and a rear side surface 36 (a pair of front and rear opposing surfaces of the present invention) that face each other in the X direction via the through-hole 33S, and each of the front side surface 35 and the rear side surface 36 abuts against the closure member 4 in the X direction. This configuration can prevent the base 40 from slipping out of the through-hole 33S. Furthermore, when the closure member 4 receives a load that includes an X-direction component from the shaft portion 52 of the pull tab 5, the pull-tab holder 3 can support the closure member 4 via the front side surface 35 or the rear side surface 36. This more effectively prevents the closure member 4 from falling off.

[0038] In this embodiment, the rear side surface 36 is formed from the main body 33 to the second end 32 and abuts against the base 40 and the first leg 41. In this configuration, when the closure member 4 receives a load from the shaft 52 of the pull tab 5 that includes a load component in the X direction, the pull tab holder 3 can more effectively support the closure member 4 via the rear side surface 36.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first end 31 is formed with a fitting portion 31E that opens toward the shaft holding space S, and it is preferable that the closing member 4 further includes a second leg portion 42 that extends from the base 40 and fits into the fitting portion 31E from the shaft holding space S side. In this configuration, the first leg portion 41 can be fitted into the insertion gap G from the shaft holding space S side, and the second leg portion 42 can be fitted into the fitted portion 31E from the shaft holding space S side. This makes it possible to more effectively prevent the closure member 4 from falling off.

[0040] (Second embodiment) A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The slider 1A of this embodiment differs from the first embodiment mainly in the position of the insertion gap G. In the following description, the same components as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted or simplified.

[0041] The slider 1A of the second embodiment, like the first embodiment, comprises a slider body 2, a pull tab holder 3A that forms an axial holding space S between the slider body 2 and the slider body 2 in which the axial portion 52 of the pull tab 5 is arranged, and a closure member 4 attached to the pull tab holder 3A. The pull tab holder 3A includes a main body portion 33A that extends along the X direction and forms an axis holding space S between it and the slider body 2, a first end portion 31 that extends along the Z direction from the +X side of the main body portion 33A and is connected to the slider body 2, and has a first fitted portion 31E that opens toward the axis holding space S, and a second end portion 32A that extends along the Z direction from the -X side of the main body portion 33A and is connected to the slider body 2, and has a second fitted portion 32E that opens toward the axis holding space S. In this embodiment, the second end 32A is not a free end but a fixed end. The second fitted portion 32E formed on the second end 32A may be a hole opening into the shaft retaining space S, or may be a recess opening into the shaft retaining space S.

[0042] The main body 33A has a through hole 33S formed therein, as in the first embodiment. The main body 33A has a pair of side walls 34A and 34B facing each other across the through hole 33S. Furthermore, the main body 33A is provided with an insertion gap G as a slit that is disposed so as to overlap the through-hole 33S and divides each of the pair of side walls 34A, 34B into a front portion and a rear portion in the X direction. Of the pair of side walls 34A, 34B, Fig. 6 illustrates a front portion 34Bf of the side wall 34B and a rear portion 34Br of the side wall 34B.

[0043] Similar to the first embodiment, the closing member 4 includes a base 40, a first leg 41, and a second leg 42. However, the first leg 41 is fitted into the second fitted portion 32E from the shaft holding space S side, not into the insertion gap G.

[0044] In the second embodiment described above, the base 40 of the closing member 4 is disposed inside the through-hole 33S in the pull-tab holder 3A, i.e., between the pair of side walls 34A, 34B, thereby closing the insertion gap G, and the first leg 41 and the second leg 42 (a pair of legs) of the closing member 4 extend from the base 40 and can be fitted into the first fitted portion 31E and the second fitted portion 32E from the shaft holding space S side. Therefore, the closing member 4 is less susceptible to external interference and less likely to fall off the pull-tab holder 3A. Therefore, according to the second embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, a slider 1A is provided to which the pull tab 5 can be attached later and which can prevent the pull tab 5 from falling off.

[0045] (Variation) In the first embodiment, the second end 32 of the pull-tab holder 3 may be one end of the main body 33 extending in the X direction (one end in the −X direction). In each of the above embodiments, the first end 31 of the pull tab holder 3, 3A may not have a groove 311 formed therein, and the fitted portion 31E (or the first fitted portion 31E) may be formed on the inner surface of the first end 31. In each of the above embodiments, the closure member 4 abuts against the pull-tab holders 3, 3A on both sides in the X direction and both sides in the Y direction, but it does not have to abut against the pull-tab holders 3, 3A in either direction. In each of the above embodiments, the slider body 2 and the pull tab holders 3, 3A may be formed separately and then combined to form the slider main body 10. [Explanation of symbols]
