| (54) | Slider for a zip fastener |
| (57) The invention relates to a slider for a zip fastener comprising a pull tab (15) and
a slider body (20) comprising a top plate (21) and a bottom plate (23) and a wedge-shaped
part (22) connecting them as well as a tab holder (25) for attachment of a loop of
the pull tab (15) of the zip fastener slider or a loop thereof made into a shape of
a clamp part. A tail part (26) of the tab holder (25) of the zip fastener slider (20)
extends outside the slider body (20) and a throat (24) such that between the tail
part (26) of the tab holder (25) and the end of the top plate (21) of the slider body
(20) there remains a threading gap/threading point (28) through which the pull tab
(15) can be threaded into connection with the tab holder (25). The pull tab (15) is
prevented from coming off the slider body (20) by means of the shaping of the tab
holder (25) such that the locking of the zip fastener slider (20) is placed, as viewed
in a horizontal plane, outside the rear of the top plate (21) of the slider (20) or
to operate, as viewed in a horizontal plane, from outside the rear of the top plate.
The invention also relates to a slider (20) for the zip fastener which comprises members
for producing a spring effect, in which connection compression locking is provided
between a retainer head (17) of the zip fastener slider and the zip fastener (10). |
