Abstract: A slider-operated fastener comprises first and second opposing tracks including respective first and second interlocking profiles and respective first and second fins extending downward from the respective first and second profiles. The first and second fins are sealed to each other by a plurality of spaced preseals. After generating each preseal, a notch is formed in the profiles and upper portions of the fins at the generated preseal. To install a slider onto the fastener, the slider is initially positioned within the respective notch and then threaded onto the fastener in response to relative movement of the slider and the fastener. Either before or after the steps of forming each preseal and respective notch and installing the respective slider, the fastener is attached to a moving web of plastic film. The fastener-carrying web is later folded and sealed to form individual plastic bags. The preseals are advantageous in that they allow the fastener to be controlled during such downstream operations as notch formation and slider installation and when the fastener is tensioned by various rollers in the bag making machine. The preseals keep the interlocked profiles together and prevent them from moving longitudinally relative to each other. In addition, the preseals generally encompass the respective notches to assist in providing a leakproof barrier to entry into an interior of the fastener between the fins via the notches. This leakproof barrier is effective in the ultimately formed plastic bags.

Abstract translation: 滑块操作的紧固件包括第一和第二相对的轨道，包括相应的第一和第二互锁轮廓以及从相应的第一和第二轮廓向下延伸的相应的第一和第二翼片。 第一和第二散热片通过多个间隔的预压件彼此密封。 在产生每个预制件之后，在所产生的预制件的翅片的型材和上部形成切口。 为了将滑块安装到紧固件上，滑块首先被定位在相应的凹口内，然后响应于滑块和紧固件的相对运动而被拧到紧固件上。 在形成每个预制件和相应的切口的步骤之前或之后，并且安装相应的滑块，紧固件被附接到移动的塑料薄膜。 随后将紧固件承载网折叠并密封以形成单个塑料袋。 预制件的优点在于，它们允许在诸如凹口形成和滑块安装的下游操作期间以及当制袋机中的各种辊紧固紧固件时控制紧固件。 预制件将互锁型材保持在一起，并防止它们相对于彼此纵向移动。 此外，预压件通常包括相应的凹口以帮助提供防漏屏障，以经由凹口进入翅片之间的紧固件内部。 这种防漏屏障在最终形成的塑料袋中是有效的。

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a zipper includes the step of dividing a label into two halves. The two halves are disposed on a cloth strip. Two banks of continuous chain teeth are pressed against one another and then are sewn to the cloth strip. The width between the sewing portion of two banks is equal to the distance between the two halves of the label. A wedge block expands the two banks of chain teeth outwards, so that a space is formed. The cloth strip is melted and cut, so that the cloth strip is cut adjacent to the two chain teeth. A strip separation wheel feeds out the left and right portions of the cloth strip, sewn with the chain teeth, at the same time. Fittings, such as a chain clip, are attached to the chain teeth to finish the zipper.

Abstract: A method for forming ends of a slide fastener chain wherein, coil-shaped fastener elements such as linear fastener elements are attached and sewed to side edge portions of a pair of fastener tapes with sewing yarns as fixing yarns while a core thread is inserted through the fastener elements. The coil-shaped fastener elements are cut off at leg portions, each of which is in contact with the fastener tape, at ends of the fastener elements, so that cut end portions are formed. These cut end portions are pushed inward of the side edge portions, and then, the leg portions and inverted portions thereof are fused to the fastener tapes by heating. As a result, each end of the fastener elements is stabilized, so that the resultant slide fastener is safe.

Abstract: In a pull-assembling unit for automatically assembling a pull onto a slider body of a slide fastener, a slider transporting means includes a slider-body-transportation plate member having rectangular notch portions spaced at intervals of plural assembling sections along a top end edge thereof, each for accommodating the slider body. The slider-body-transportation plate member is adapted to be actuated in the slider-transportation path so as to draw a rectangular trajectory in a vertical plane. An actuation upper limit position of a top end of the rectangular notch portion is set to be above a slider-body-placing surface of the slider-transportation path and an actuation lower limit position of the top end of the notch portion is set to be at a retreat position below the slider-body-placing surface. Therefore, the slider-pull-assembling unit has a simple structure and is capable of assembling a pull onto a slider body accurately and securely at a high speed.
