Abstract (en)

A detachable pull tab 2 for a slide fastener 4 has spindle 18 which pivots within a locking member 24 and cover 36 on a slider 10 of the fastener 4. The spindle 18 is supported only at one end, on a leg 14 which extends from a gripping portion 6 of the pull tab 2. To detach the pull tab, the gripping portion 6 is twisted, causing the leg 14 to deform or twist, and opening a gap 21 at the free end of the spindle 18. The pull tab 2 can then be easily removed from the slider 10. <IMAGE>
