This application claims foreign priority benefits under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a)-(d) to TW 106117209, filed on 24 May 2017 and entitled “ZIPPER HEAD ASSEMBLY STRUCTURE AND PIN-SHAPED ASSEMBLY THEREOF”, now pending, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to an assembly structure and a pin-shaped assembly thereof, and more particularly to a zipper head assembly structure and a pin-shaped assembly thereof.
Generally, articles of clothing rely on either buttons or zippers to bind themselves together. In contrast to the button, however, the zipper provides stronger structural integrity and a smoother operation. A zipper assembly usually includes a zipper head and a strip, the former of which serves as the connecting component with the latter and cooperates therewith to allow the zipper assembly to be zipped back and forth. However, despite wide application of the zipper across various clothing and accessories, the cooperative operation between the zipper assembly and the conventional inserting pins/fixed pins of the zipper head thereof still leaves room for improvement.
One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a zipper head assembly structure and a pin-shaped assembly thereof.
One of the embodiments of the present disclosure provides a pin-shaped assembly, including a first pin element and a second pin element. The first pin element includes a first body, a first flange portion, a first mating portion, and a first front portion, and the first body has a first left wall and a first right wall opposite to the first left wall. The second pin element includes a second body, a second flange portion, a second mating portion, and a second front portion, and the second body has a second left wall and a second right wall opposite to the second left wall. The first flange portion is projected outwardly from the first left wall of the first body and is adjacent to a rear side of the first body, the first mating portion is disposed on the first right wall of the first body, and the first front portion is disposed on a front side of the first body. The second flange portion is projected outwardly from the second right wall of the second body and is adjacent to a rear side of the second body, the second mating portion is disposed on the second left wall of the second body, and the second front portion is disposed on a front side of the second body. The first pin element and the second pin element are detachably connected to each other by matching the first mating portion and the second mating portion.
Another one of the embodiments of the present disclosure provides a pin-shaped assembly, including a first pin element and a second pin element. The first pin element includes a first body, a first top groove, a first bottom groove, a first mating portion, and a first front portion. The first body has a first left wall, a first right wall opposite to the first left wall, a first top wall connected between the first left wall and the first right wall, and a first bottom wall opposite to the first top wall. The second pin element includes a second body, a second top groove, a second bottom groove, a second mating portion, and a second front portion. The second body has a second left wall, a second right wall opposite to the second left wall, a second top wall connected between the second left wall and the second right wall, and a second bottom wall opposite to the second top wall. The first top groove is disposed on the first top wall of the first body, the first bottom groove is disposed on the first bottom wall of the first body, the first mating portion is disposed on the first right wall of the first body, and the first front portion is disposed on a front side of the first body. The second top groove is disposed on the second top wall of the second body, the second bottom groove is disposed on the second bottom wall of the second body, the second mating portion is disposed on the second left wall of the second body, and the second front portion is disposed on a front side of the second body. The first pin element and the second pin element are detachably connected to each other by having the first mating portion and the second mating portion be complementary in structure.
Yet another one of the embodiments of the present disclosure provides a zipper head assembly structure, including a zipper head assembly and a pin-shaped assembly. The zipper head assembly includes a first zipper head and a second zipper head detachably mated with the first zipper head, and the first zipper head has a first inner wall and a second inner wall opposite to the first inner wall. The pin-shaped assembly is mated with the zipper head assembly, and the pin-shaped assembly includes a first pin element and a second pin element, and both the first pin element and the second pin element are inserted into the zipper head assembly. The first pin element includes a first body, a first flange portion, a first mating portion, and a first front portion, and the first body has a first left wall and a first right wall opposite to the first left wall. The first flange portion is projected outwardly from the first left wall of the first body and is adjacent to a rear side of the first body, the first mating portion is disposed on the first right wall of the first body, and the first front portion is disposed on a front side of the first body. The second pin element includes a second body, a second flange portion, a second mating portion, and a second front portion, and the second body has a second left wall and a second right wall opposite to the second left wall. The second flange portion is projected outwardly from the second right wall of the second body and is adjacent to a rear side of the second body, the second mating portion is disposed on the second left wall of the second body, and the second front portion is disposed on a front side of the second body. The first pin element and the second pin element are detachably connected to each other by matching the first mating portion and the second mating portion.
Therefore, by matching the features of “the first mating portion being disposed on the first right wall of the first body, and the second mating portion being disposed on the second left wall of the second body” and “the first mating portion and the second mating portion being mated with each other”, the first pin element and the second pin element can be detachably connected to each other.

It should be noted that even if the first pin element 1 is inserted into the zipper head assembly S2 with large chamber, the first flange portion 13 of the first pin element 1 can also be used to abut against the first inner wall 301 of the first zipper head 3 so as to quickly move the first pin element 1 toward the second pin element 2, thus allowing the first mating portion 14 and the second mating portion 24 (or the first pin element 1 and the second pin element 2) to be mated quickly and stably. Hence, the product suitability of the zipper head assembly structure Z and the pin-shaped assembly S1 thereof can be increased.
Therefore, by matching the features of “the first mating portion 14 being disposed on the first right wall 102 of the first body 10, and the second mating portion 24 being disposed on the second left wall 202 of the second body 20” and “the first mating portion 14 and the second mating portion 24 being mated with each other”, the first pin element 1 and the second pin element 2 can be detachably connected to each other.
More particularly, the residual material can still be received in the first top groove 11 without projecting out of the first top wall 103 of the first pin element 1, and the residual material can still be received in the first bottom groove 12 without projecting out of the first bottom wall 104 of the first pin element 1, so that the efficiency of the automatic production line for making the first pin element 1 can be increased.
More particularly, the residual material can still be received in the second top groove 21 without projecting out of the second top wall 203 of the second pin element 2, and the residual material can still be received in the second bottom groove 22 without projecting out of the second bottom wall 204 of the second pin element 2, so that the efficiency of the automatic production line for making the second pin element 2 can be increased.
More particularly, when the first pin element 1 is inserted into the first zipper head 3 and the second zipper head 4, the first flange portion 13 of the first pin element 1 can be used to abut against the first inner wall 301 of the first zipper head 3 so as to quickly move the first pin element 1 toward the second pin element 2, and then the second flange portion 23 of the second element 2 can be used to abut against the second inner wall 302 of the second zipper head 4 so as to quickly move the second pin element 2 toward the first pin element 1, thus allowing the first mating portion 14 and the second mating portion 24 (or the first pin element 1 and the second pin element 2) to be mated quickly and stably.
