Abstract:
A securable clip includes a first elongated rectangular portion and a second elongated rectangular portion connected along a common edge. The clip includes at least one locking peg, at least one receiving hole configured to receive the at least one locking peg, and a frangible portion. The frangible portion provides a visual indication that the clip has been opened. The releasing of the locking peg prevents the clip from being reclosed, reused, or sealed again.

Abstract:
A draft barrier system having a sliding fastener that lets a user selectively alternate a volume of material between open and closed formations. When the sliding fastener closes the volume of material into the closed formation, insulation is compressed together to form a seal that helps prevent air from moving between the interior and the environment through the sliding fastener.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for transforming a volume of material into pant legs by means of a transforming fastener. The transforming fastener has multiple tracks, each track having a pair of matable rows. A slider coupled to the rows transforms the volume of material into pant legs when the slider moves along the rows. The slider accomplishes this transformation by fastening one of the pair of rows while simultaneously unfastening another of the pair of rows.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for transforming a volume of material into sleeves by means of a transforming fastener. The transforming fastener has multiple tracks, each track having a pair of matable rows. A slider coupled to the rows transforms the volume of material into sleeves when the slider moves along the rows. The slider accomplishes this transformation by fastening one of the pair of rows while simultaneously unfastening another of the pair of rows.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide, through plating, a slide fastener which has high decorativeness, and which does not have problems in terms of functionality or product quality such as corrosion resistance. Another object is to provide a method of manufacturing an attachment having constituent members. In a slide fastener in which a large number of elements are mounted on an edge of a pair of mutually facing slide fastener tapes, each of the elements has a facing surface where elements face one another in a longitudinal direction of the slide fastener tapes, and a surface other than the facing surface, a coating is formed through electroless plating on the facing surface, and a coating is formed through electrolytic plating on the surface other than the facing surface. The coating on the surface other than the facing surface is made to be a single-layer or multi-layer coating selected from Sn, CunullSn alloy, CunullSnnullZn alloy, Rh, Pd, and Cu plating, and the coating on the facing surface is Sn plating.
Abstract:
A slide fastener repair system including a method in which an opening is formed in a slide fastener to create a gap in a row of fastener elements, removing the slide fastener slider through the opening, positioning a replacement slider on the teeth of the slide fastener at the opening and attaching a slider stop at the opening.
Abstract:
A slide fastener device is disclosed which is provided with a label or tag for indicating information relative to the fastener product. The tag is provided with a transversely extending fold for folding the tag therealong outwardly or inwardly of the fastener and with an aperture for hanging the fastener vertically on a suitable support for purposes of display.
Abstract:
A SLIDE FASTENER UNIT HAVING TWO ROWS OF LINKS WHICH ARE SECURED TO THE TWO HALVES OF THE SUPPORTING TAPE, EACH OF THE HALVES BEING A Y-TAPE WITH THE UPPER AND LOWER ENDS OF EACH HALF PARTLY COVERING THE ROW OF LINKS AT EACH SIDE SO THAT ADJACENT UPPER AND LOWER ENDS FORM PARALLEL LONGITUDINAL BANDS EXPOSING TO VIEW THE MIDDLE OF THE ROWS OF LINKS AT EACH SIDE WHERE THESE ROWS COME TOGETHER AND THE INDIVIDUAL LOOPS OF THE ROWS OF LINKS REMOTE FROM THE CENTER. THESE ROWS OF LINKS ARE FORMED BY WEAVING A CONTINUOUS LENGTH OF HEAVY DUTY THERMOPLASTIC SYNETHETIC MONO-FILAMENT AS A WARP INTO THE TWO SHORT ARMS OF THE Y-TAPE TO FORM LOOPS AND LINKS IN A SINGLE OPERATION. THE LOOPS AND THE LINKS WHICH ARE INITIALLY IN THE SAME PLANE ARE HEAT-DEFORMED BETWEEN THE FREE ENDS OF THE ARMS OF THE Y-TAPE TO FORM U-SHAPED LINKS FACING TOWARDS THE EDGE OF THE TAPE WHILE THE LOOPS ARE COMPRESSION SET AT THE PART OF THE ARM REMOTE FROM THE EDGE TO FORM A GUIDE FOR THE FASTENER SLIDE.
