摘要:
A needle (51) particularly well-suited for use in the dispensing of plastic fasteners (21) of the type comprising a filament (15) having a cross-bar (23-1, 23-2) at a first end thereof, each of the cross-bar (23-1, 23-2) and the filament (15) including a first flat side, the first flat sides of the cross-bar (23-1, 23-2) being coplanar. The needle (51) includes a stem portion (53). The stem portion (53) terminates in a tip (57) at its front end and is shaped to define a longitudinal bore (59) and a longitudinal slot (61) for receiving the filament (15) and the cross-bar (23-1, 23-2). The longitudinal bore (59) has a first flat side, and the longitudinal slot (61) has a first flat side, wherein the flat sides are coplanar.
摘要:
A unitary plastic fastener clip (11) comprising a plurality of individual fasteners (13) which are disposed in a substantially parallel, side-by-side relationship. Each fastener (13) comprises an elongated flexible filament (15) having a first enlarged end (17) and a second enlarged end (19). In another embodiment, the first enlarged end (17) is a transverse bar of non-uniform transverse cross section and the second enlarged end (19) is a generally knob-shaped head. A first connector post (21-1) connects the first enlarged end (17) of the first fastener (13) to the first enlarged end (17) of the second fastener (13) and the second connector post (21-2) connects the second enlarged end (19) of the first fastener (13) to the second enlarged end (19) of the second fastener (13).
摘要:
A unitary, plastic clip (11) of fasteners (13) comprises a plurality of individual fasteners (13) which are disposed in a substantially parallel, stacked, spaced relationship. Each fastener (13) comprises an elongated flexible filament (15) and a pair of transverse cross-bars (17, 19) which are disposed on opposite ends of the filament (15), the pair of transverse bars (17, 19) being disposed in perpendicular relation to the filament (15). The plurality of individual fasteners (13) are maintained in its substantially parallel, stacked, spaced configuration by a plurality of thin, severable connector posts (21). One thin, severable connector post (21) interconnects the approximate midpoint of the transverse bars (17, 19) of each pair of adjacent individual fasteners (13).
摘要:
The present invention relates to a fastener and clip for use in attaching a button to a garment or a piece of fabric. In one embodiment, the fastener (11) comprises a U-shaped flexible filament (13) and a pair of transverse feet (15-1, 15-2) disposed at opposite ends of the U-shaped flexible filament (13). The U-shaped filament (13) is generally rectangular in cross section, has a substantially uniform width, a thickness greatest in its arcuate region and least towards the feet. The feet (15-1, 15-2) are sized and shaped to fit through a button hole and securely engage a garment. To minimize contact with a person's skin, the feet (15-1, 15-2) are preferably shorter that the transverse bars of existing button fasteners and comparable in overall size to a knot of thread conventionnally used to secure buttons. The feet (15-1, 15-2) have rounded ends (21-1/21-2, 23-1/23-2), a flat top surface (19-1, 19-2) and a contoured bottom surface (25-1, 25-2) to minimize irradiation of a person's skin.
