Method and apparatus for the fitting of sliders onto a rice connecting links series connection

摘要

A method and apparatus for attaching sliders to a slide fastener chain having longitudinally spaced gaps free of coupling elements, in which, while the chain is held in taut condition, a gap at an assembly station is spread in transverse direction, a slider is placed in the spread gap, and then the chain pulled under tension in longitudinal direction in such a manner that the adjacent side edges of the stringers of the chain are forced into the slider channel to thus attach the slider to the chain. The chain is then moved together with the slider attached thereto in longitudinal direction until the next gap is at the assembly station, whereafter the cycle is repeated.
