Everyday of Nagoya store (Episode 13) Fastener

Here, we will deliver a story that will be a bit of a story by the store manager "Kita" and the newcomer "Shirasawa".

Episode 13: Fastener, this story

Shirasawa Kita store manager. Well, I thought recently, is there any reason to get your left foot when you are on a motorcycle and wait for a traffic light or stop?
Kita That? Did you tell me at the car (a driving school: Nagoya people are called Shaakou)?
Shirasawa I learned to stop with my left foot, but for the reason ...
Kita When you stop at the left end of the road, it will prevent contact with the car, or it will be easier to turn to the right back when you check the departure, right? Other than when stopping, it is natural to get on and off from the left side and the side stand is left out, so it is more natural to reach the left.
Shirasawa Indeed, is it realistic? There seems to be various theories.
Kita Well, I've heard that the rear brake foot pedal is on the right, regardless of the running left. There are various theories. In the first place, the structure of the motorcycle looks like symmetry, the drive axis is on the left side, and the chain and shaft are on the left side. For such a mechanical reason, one muffler has many right mufflers, right?
Shirasawa I agree. That's why there are many right -facing body images in the catalog of the motorcycle. There are already various theories.
Kita There are too many theories (laughs)
Shirasawa I just want to say "the theory" (laughs)
Kita Well, the customs based on such a lifestyle are usually decided by the powerful people at the time.
Shirasawa The power of the power of time.
Kita

Okay, I understand. I don't know anything.

Then, let's explain the phenomenon in which the zipper on the left foot of Chaps falls down.

Shirasawa There is a clear reason for this!
Kita

Yeah.

The zipper is made of sliders, elements, and tape. So, the slider has an auto -lock function, but it uses a spring -type claw directly connected to the pull, and it has a structure that comes off when pulling the pull. Of course, not all sliders have that function, but use them in a place where you can open them without permission due to moving, vibrating, gravity.

Shirasawa It is mainly what people wear.
Kita I agree. The elements will be closed by alternately bite each pair. But the slider claws are only on one side. In fact, because it is one side, the claws get caught in the unevenness of the elements and become a stopper, but if you are on both the left and right, the unevenness will be offset and it will be flat, so the claw will not be caught.
Shirasawa Oh.
Kita

There are many right -handed people, so when you wear clothing, insert the right side when you wear it, so if you want the slider to be on the left, the claws will be on the left side.

I guess it's the result based on lifestyle with the feet of the motorcycle.

Shirasawa got it. CHAPS is made in symmetry so that the slider is on the back side, the right foot is a positive zipper, but the left foot is reverse, so there is no claw and it falls down before closing the zipper. Is that?
Kita

That kind of thing.

Most of the leather jeans and leather products use metal zipper in Kadoya, but fabric has many Bislon. Personally, it is strong because the resin is injected with a favorite zipper, and it is strong in water and acid.

However, metal zipper is cooler for leather products. Because it is compatible and the pressed elements can be eliminated one by one, it is easy to repair sleeves and is suitable for leather jeans. Also, there is a type in Bislon with a metal texture, and on the contrary, there was an injection that was injected with zinc alloy in the past, and the story of the fastener was not exhausted.

Shirasawa The zipper is also deep. Please tell me slowly again.

The zipper has a claw that only one side is caught. A zipper with an auto lock function is a mechanism that removes the claw by pulling the pull of the handle.

Kita Yeah, it's a swamp. The buttons and threads are interesting, but do you like mechanical places for fasteners? Well, this time, let me say this. "Zip" and "ZIP" are communicated in foreign countries, but "chuck" doesn't communicate. Because it's only Japanese words.
Shirasawa

Hahaha (cold sweat)

That's right.

Kita OK, OK. This time slowly.
Shirasawa

Sometimes you switch on, Kita Manager.

I thought that the story of Mad Max and the castle was a mine, but there were also zipper (bitter smile)

Kita

I can't get tangled, Shirasawa -kun (laughs)

Oh, yes, you remembered a battle suit that I remembered at Mad Max?

Shirasawa No, not.
Kita

Eh! ? Is that so? There is a sample.

Wait a minute.

 

(The sound of the door open) 

Kita
 Oh, you can see the customer.
Shirasawa
welcome!
Kita
welcome!
Kita
(I'll talk when I have time again)
