Abstract
An apparatus for feeding a continuous slide fastener chain having strips of fabric secured on outer edges of tapes at predetermined intervals comprise a pair of guide members defining therebetween a feed path for feeding a continuous chain with attached strips along, and a drive endless belt unit mounted on either one of the guide members for pressing contact with the continuous chain with attached strips over a suitable length thereof and connected with a drive source to positively feed the continuous chain with attached strips along the feed path; so that, if heavy fabric strips are attached thereto, the continuous chain with attached strips can be fed smoothly and stably.
Claims7
An apparatus for feeding to a processing station a continuous slide fastener chain which has a pair of interengaged rows of coupling elements secured on inner edges of respective tapes of a pair of tapes of the slide fastener chain, and strips of fabric secured on an outer edge of at least one of the tapes at predetermined intervals, said apparatus comprising:
- (a) a pair of opposed upper and lower guide members disposed upstream of the processing station and defining therebetween a feed path for feeding a continuous chain with attached strips along;
- and
- (b) a drive endless belt unit mounted on either one of the guide members for pressing contact with the continuous chain with attached strips over a suitable length thereof and connected with a drive source to positively feed the continuous chain with attached strips along the feed path.
