Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A slide fastener installation comprising a pair of fabric sections disposed to define an opening to be closed therebetween, each fabric section having a fold defining folded back edge portion extending along the opening, a slide fastener having a pair of carrier tapes aligned with the folds, a single strip of thermoplastic adhesive disposed along each fabric section and being in substantially parallel relation to the opening, each single strip of thermoplastic adhesive extending transversely from adjacent the opening and being disposed on a first area overlayed by said folded back edge portion and on a second area extending beyond said first area, said folded back edge portion being adhesively secured to the first area, and each carrier tape extending transversely from the opening and covering the folded back edge portion and the second area of its corresponding fabric section and being adhesively secured to the thermoplastic adhesive on said second area.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
A slide fastener installation comprising a pair of fabric sections disposed to define an opening to be closed therebetween, each fabric section having a fold defining folded back edge portion extending along the opening, a slide fastener having a pair of carrier tapes aligned with the folds, a single strip of thermoplastic adhesive disposed along each fabric section and being in substantially parallel relation to the opening, each single strip of thermoplastic adhesive extending transversely from adjacent the opening and being disposed on a first area overlayed by said folded back edge portion and on a second area extending beyond said first area, said folded back edge portion being adhesively secured to the first area, and each carrier tape extending transversely from the opening and covering the folded back edge portion and the second area of its corresponding fabric section and being adhesively secured to the thermoplastic adhesive on said second area.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
A slide fastener installation as claimed in claim 1 wherein each strip of thermoplastic adhesive is responsive to heat for effecting an adhesive bond between each folded back edge portion and the first area of its corresponding fabric section and between each tape and the second area of its corresponding fabric section.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
96 words
A method of bonding the tapes of a slide fastener to a garment having a pair of fabric sections and foldable back edge portions meeting at an opening comprising the steps of: applying a single strip of adhesive to an area of each of said fabric sections which is to be partially exposed; folding back each edge portion to partially cover the adhesive; bonding each folded back edge portion to the fabric section at the partially covered area; and bonding the tapes of a slide fastener to the fabric sections at their corresponding partially exposed areas.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
96 words
A method of bonding the tapes of a slide fastener to a garment having a pair of fabric sections and foldable back edge portions meeting at an opening comprising the steps of: applying a single strip of adhesive to an area of each of said fabric sections which is to be partially exposed; folding back each edge portion to partially cover the adhesive; bonding each folded back edge portion to the fabric section at the partially covered area; and bonding the tapes of a slide fastener to the fabric sections at their corresponding partially exposed areas.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
The invention of claim 3 wherein the adhesive is a thermoplastic adhesive and the steps of bonding include the application of heat to the adhesive.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
The invention of claim 3 wherein the adhesive is applied in the form of a strip, and the folded back edge portion covers approximately one-half of the total adhesive applied to a fabric section.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
37 words
The invention of claim 3 wherein the adhesive is a liquid activated adhesive and wherein the step of applying an adhesive is preceeded by the step of liquid activating the adhesive to facilitate fixedly positioning the adhesive.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
28 words
The invention of claim 6 wherein the liquid activated adhesive is also a thermoplastic adhesive, and wherein the steps of bonding are effected by an application of heat.
