Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03006324A2] Continuously connected fastener stock and a method of making same. In one embodiment, the method involves providing a rotating molding wheel, the wheel being provided with a peripheral impression comprising a pair of peripherally-extending side members interconnected by a plurality of cross-links. Molten plastic is extruded into the peripheral impression of the wheel, with a layer of controlled film overlying the peripheral impression. The molten plastic is then allowed to solidify. A knife in substantially elliptical contact with the peripheral impression is then used to skive excess plastic from the rotating molding wheel. The knife is provided with a pair of cut-out portions along its bottom edge, each cut-out portion aligned with one of the peripherally-extending side members so as to augment the transverse cross-sectional size thereof. The continuously connected fastener stock thus formed is then removed from the rotating molding wheel.

Molten plastic is extruded into the peripheral impression of the wheel, with a layer of controlled film overlaying the peripheral impression. The molten plastic is then allowed to solidify. A knife (111, 201) in substantially elliptical contact with the peripheral impression is then used to skive excess plastic from the rotating molding wheel. The knife (111, 201) is provided with a pair of cut-out portions (115-1, 115-2, 205-1, 205-2)along its bottom edge (113, 203), each cut-out portion (115-1, 115-2, 205-1, 205-2) being aligned with one of the peripherally-extending side members so as to augment the transverse cross-sectional size thereof. The continuously connected fastener stock thus formed is then removed from the rotating molding wheel.
