Mathod of manufacturing color zipper and apparatus thereof

An apparatus of manufacturing a color plastic zipper comprising:

• a bed;
• a controller provided on the bed and including a control box and an on/off switch for controlling the time interval of intermittently advancing operation;
• a feeding assembly provided on a front end of the bed and including a guide roll assembly and a guide unit for feeding and intermittently advancing both a half-finished plastic zipper and a color transfer film and overlaying the half-finished plastic zipper on the color transfer film and positioning same;
• a mold assembly provided on the bed adjacent the feeding assembly and including a mold having a central lengthwise trough on a top surface thereof for allowing the overlaid half-finished plastic zipper and the color transfer film to pass thereon in advancing, a heating unit mounted in the mold and adapted to heat the overlaid half-finished plastic zipper and the color transfer film and a ram above the mold including an end block having a length equal to or slightly less than that of the mold, the block being driven by a drive unit such that the block may move vertically to press the overlaid half-finished plastic zipper and the color transfer film in operation when they temporarily stops in the trough;
• a separation assembly provided on the bed adjacent the mold assembly and including a separation member for vertically separating the overlaid finished color plastic zipper and the color transfer film into two independent upper and lower ones, and a correction unit for guiding the finished color plastic zipper and guiding the used color transfer film respectively;
• and
• a drive mechanism provided on the bed adjacent the separation assembly and including a drive source and two urging drive wheels, the drive source being adapted to intermittently move the finished color plastic zipper and the used color transfer film a predetermined distance.
