Abstract
A slider applicator includes a rocker housing pivotally mounted on a support frame for angular movement in a plane transverse of a path of travel of a slide fastener stringer to which a slider is to be applied. The rocker housing supports a support rod on which a slider holder is mounted, the slider holder receiving a slider from a chute when the rocker housing is in a horizontal position. The slider holder is turnable about the axis of the support rod through a train of bevel gear during the angular movement of the rocker housing, so that the slider supported on the slider holder will be oriented for attachment to the stringer when the slider holder reaches its vertical position. Means is mounted on the support frame for adjusting the orientation the slider will have upon the slider holder being in the vertical position.
Claims17
A slider applicator for a slide fastener stringer traveling along a longitudinal path, comprising:
- (a) a frame;
- (b) a rocker housing pivotally mounted on said frame for angular movement in a plane transverse of the path of the slide fastener stringer;
- (c) a rod extending through said rocker housing in said plane;
- (d) a slider holder mounted on said rod for holding a slider thereon;
- and
- (e) gearing means disposed in said rocker housing for enabling said slider holder to be turned about the axis of said rod so as to orient the slider with respect to the path of the stringer upon the angular movement of said rocker housing.
A slider applicator for a slide fastener stringer, comprising:
- (a) a support frame;
- (b) a hollow cylindrical shaft rotataby mounted on said support frame and adapted to extend along a longitudinal path of travel of the slide fastener stringer;
- (c) a rocker housing mounted on said shaft for angular movement in a plane transverse of said path of the slide fastener stringer;
- (d) an axle disposed in said shaft for limited corotation therewith;
- (e) a first gear mounted on one end of said axle and disposed in said housing;
- (f) a second gear rotatably disposed in said housing and held in mesh with said first gear, said first and second gears having their axes intersecting each other;
- (g) a support rod extending through said housing and said second gear in coaxial relation for longitudinal sliding movement and for corotation with said second gear.
- (h) means for angularly moving said rocker housing about the axis of said shaft between first and second angular positions;
- and
- (i) means on said rod for holding a slider, whereby the slider is angularly movable about the axis of said rod when said housing is angularly moved between said first and second positions.
