20080196219 | STOP FOR SLIDE FASTENERS - A reusable slider stop member has a solid body shaped to fit over a tooth element in a slide fastener assembly. The solid body has a central through channel defined by a pair of parallel prongs which fit over a tooth element. Each prong has an internal shoulder that engages a portion of the tooth element to retain the stop in place. The stop may be removed without damaging the stop or the tooth element, thus permitting easy repair of slide fastener assembly components. The stop is installed by aligning the channel at a right angle to the axis of the array of tooth elements, pressing the stop partially onto the tooth element, twisting the stop into alignment with the array and pressing the stop fully onto the tooth element to engage the internal shoulder of the stop with the tooth element. | 08-21-2008 |
20090126164 | Zipper secure - The present invention is a device that secures an individual's zipper in the closed position under all conditions. The device consists of a flexible band connected to a U-shaped clip with a closed loop at one end. One end of the flexible bad is fed through the zipper aperture then fed back through the opened loop of the flexible band. When pulled tight, the flexible band is secured to the zipper aperture. The open section of the U-shaped clip is then slid over the top of the waist or waistband of the garment. This device can also be used in reverse. To do so, use the open end of the U-shaped clip and insert it though the zipper aperture and pull it up. Then slip the flexible band over a button or snap at the top of the garment. The zipper is now secured in the full closed position. When secured, the flexible band provides proper tension and flexibility to the zipper, keeping it secure in all ranges of motion. | 05-21-2009 |
20110209308 | Bottom End Stop for a Slide Fastener - A bottom end stop ( | 09-01-2011 |
20120017403 | Stop of a zipper - A stop of a zipper is mounted at an end of the zipper, is L-shaped and has a mounting protrusion and a limiting protrusion formed transversely on a proximal end of the mounting protrusion. When the mounting protrusion of the stop is mounted into a slider, the limiting protrusion and the slanted upper surface of the limiting protrusion prevent the slider from further sliding into a channel of the slider so the slider stops actually. Moreover, corners and edges of the stop may be all rounded so the stop is able to smoothly slide into the slider. | 01-26-2012 |
20120246890 | ZIPPER WITH ATTACHED FASTENER - One example embodiment includes a system for securing a zipper. The system includes a zipper and a fastener, where the fastener is configured to secure the position of the zipper. | 10-04-2012 |
20140020217 | Slide Fastener with Separable Bottom End Stop - The slide fastener has a separable bottom end stop, and the separable bottom end stop has at least an insert pin and a box pin. The insert pin has an escape portion provided with an inclined surface or a curved surface along which the thickness dimension of the insert pin decreases in the direction of the tape width toward the side edge that faces the box pin, the escape portion being positioned in the front-end corner portion of a first-surface of the insert pin, the corner portion being positioned along the edge that faces the box pin. This allows the escape portion of the insert pin to function as an interference prevention means, can efficiently prevent chain failure in an element row when the slider fastener is bent into a U-shape, and can maintain stable engaging. | 01-23-2014 |
20140059812 | STRAP FORMED SLIDER END STOPS - The present disclosure relates to end stops for slider zippers for reclosable packages or bags wherein the end stops are formed by straps which are inserted and secured within apertures in the zipper, proximate to the ends of the zipper. The ends of the straps are joined to each other to form loops. This joining may be done with a fin seal, a lap seal, a separate rivet, an integral rivet or similar structure. | 03-06-2014 |
20140150216 | Stop for a Slide Fastener, and a Method for the Manufacture Thereof - There is provided a stop for a slide fastener. A top plate and a bottom plate are linked with one another at a transversely intermediate position by an integral connecting post. The lower side of the top plate is substantially flat. The bottom plate slopes away from the connecting post to form two leg members provided with a respective end flange pointing towards the top plate, the leg members being adapted to cooperate in use with the top plate to retain fastener tapes therebetween. | 06-05-2014 |
20140157555 | Top Stop for Slider - A top stop made of a flexible material and that cooperates with at least a portion of a slider body. The top stop comprises a body having a fin that extends upwardly from the body and that includes a contour that generally conforms to a leading edge of the slider body. | 06-12-2014 |
