20080196217 | Locking Zipper Slider Pulls - A zipper locking device comprising hook-loop material adapted to couple to a first zipper slide and hook-loop material adapted to couple a second zipper slide to the first zipper slide. The interlocking hook-loop zipper pulls keep dual zipper-sliders in a closed position until the hook material is separated from the loop material. | 08-21-2008 |
20090077775 | ZIPPER PULL TAB LOCK - Various embodiments include a zipper pull tab lock for releasably securing a zipper pull tab to prevent movement of a zipper relative to rows of zipper teeth. A protrusion or paw within the zipper pull tab lock engages the hole defined in the zipper pull tab to prevent removal of the zipper pull tab from the zipper pull tab lock. To release the zipper pull tab from the zipper pull tab lock, a user depresses an release tab (or button) disposed adjacent the upper surface of the zipper pull tab lock, which causes the protrusion or paw within the zipper pull tab lock to move downwardly and disengage from the hole of the zipper pull tab, allowing the pull tab to be slidably disengaged from the zipper pull tab lock. | 03-26-2009 |
20090106951 | ZIP CLOSURE SYSTEM - In order to provide a zip closure system that is difficult for a thief to operate, the system comprises a first zip slider ( | 04-30-2009 |
20090133231 | MECHANICAL ZIPPER ASSIST - A zipper closure system for allowing one hand zipping of objects requiring sufficient compressive force to close is provided. The zipper closure system comprises a set of tracks having a row of teeth mate-able with other, a plurality of sliders that are adapted to move along the row of teeth, a connector joining the plurality of sliders and allowing the user to move the plurality of sliders along the row of fasteners. The zipper system can further comprise a pull ring, and a stopping means. | 05-28-2009 |
20110197402 | Slide Fastener with Separable Bottom End Stop - Provided is a slide fastener with a separable bottom end stop having both an automatic stopper and the separable bottom end stop, of which structural components can be used for both left- and right-insertions. | 08-18-2011 |
20110232047 | Slide Fastener - In slide fasteners ( | 09-29-2011 |
20120124787 | Slide Fastener - A slide fastener according to the invention includes a left-and-right pair of first and second fastener stringers, a box pin provided on the first fastener stringer, an insert pin provided on the second fastener stringer, and a pair of first and second sliders. The box pin has a box pin body, a stopper portion, and a ridge portion formed on the box pin body. Further, a chamfered portion is formed on an inner surface of at least one of the upper and lower wing plates of the first slider. The ridge portion is arranged at a position in close contact with the chamfered portion of the first slider when the first slider is stopped at the stopper portion. With this arrangement, it becomes possible to cause the user to be accustomed to securely slide the first slider to the normal insert-pin inserting position. | 05-24-2012 |
20120124788 | Slide Fastener - A slide fastener includes a pair of first and second fastener stringers, a box pin, an insert pin, and a pair of first and second sliders. The box pin has a box pin body, a stopper portion arranged at a front end side of the box pin body, and suppressing portions projected on at least one of upper and lower surfaces of the box pin body to suppress sliding of the second slider. Further, the box pin body has a body region, and a notched region arranged at an element-row-side base end portion and having excluded a side surface portion at a side facing the insert pin. The suppressing portions are projected in only the notched region. With this arrangement, the second slider can be stably held at an insert-pin inserting position, and a subsequent insert operation or extract operation of the insert pin can be smoothly performed. | 05-24-2012 |
20120159746 | SLIDE FASTENER - The slide fastener comprises elements and a slider, wherein each of the elements includes a horizontal functional section an upper vertical functional section and a lower vertical functional section the slide fastener includes a plurality of fastener units in each of which the elements are arranged to oppositely face each other and the meshing portions are meshed with each other by sliding the slider between the oppositely-positioned elements, whereby the engagement pieces of the oppositely-positioned elements form an engagement portion and the engagement holding pieces of the oppositely-positioned elements in pair form an engagement holding portion, and the plurality of fastener units are constituted in a multilayered structure by engaging the engagement holding portions of a second fastener with the engagement portions of a first fastener such that the engagement holding portions of a new fastener unit are engaged with the engagement portions of a preceding fastener unit. | 06-28-2012 |
20120167354 | Reverse Opening Slide Fastener - In the reverse opening slide fastener, an insert pin includes a side edge arranged at a box pin side and a side edge arranged at a tape inner side. A first sloped section sloped in a direction to be apart from the box pin side toward the insert pin top end is formed at the side edge arranged at a box pin side. The first sloped section is formed as being intersected with an extension line obtained by extending a planar section of the side edge arranged at a tape inner side to the insert pin top end side and has a shape sloped at an angle to be contacted to a guide column of the lower slider or to be apart from the guide column when the insert pin is inserted to upper and lower sliders. Accordingly, in the reverse opening slide fastener, insertion operation of the insert pin can be smoothly performed. | 07-05-2012 |
20120260468 | Reverse Opening Slide Fastener - A reverse opening slide fastener is provided with a pair of first and second separable connection members which are firmly fixed to first and second fastener stringers, and a pair of first and second sliders. A connection and separation operation can be carried out by inserting and removing the second separable connection member into and from the first and second sliders. The second separable connection member has an inserting and removing region which can be inserted into and removed from the first and second sliders via a gap between upper and lower flanges of the first and second sliders. Further, a positioning structure which decides a relative position between the first separable connection member and the second separable connection member is arranged, whereby it is possible to improve an operability of the connection and separation operation. | 10-18-2012 |
