Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment

[0016] To more clearly explain the present invention; hereinafter combine with the figures to further describe the present invention.

[0017] Refer to Fig. 1∼5. The present invention provides an anti-explosion zipper comprising a zipper left loop, a zipper right loop and a double-tooth zipper head 1; the zipper left loop comprises left lower teeth 2, a left cloth belt 3 and left upper teeth 4, the zipper right loop comprises the right upper teeth 5, a right cloth belt 6 and right lower teeth 7; the left lower teeth engage 2 with the right lower teeth 7, the left upper teeth 4 engage with the right upper teeth 5, and the double-tooth zipper head 1 engages with the combination of the left lower teeth 2, right lower teeth 7, left upper teeth 4 and right upper teeth 5.

[0018] The orientation of the left lower teeth 2 and right lower teeth 7 is opposite to that of the left upper teeth 4 and right lower teeth 5, that is, the orientation of the left lower teeth 2 is consistent with that of the right lower teeth 7, the orientation of the left upper teeth 4 is consistent with that of the right upper teeth 5, but the orientation of the left lower teeth 2 and right lower teeth 7 is opposite to that of the left upper teeth 4 and right lower teeth 5. As shown in the Fig. 2, the teeth orientation of the left lower teeth 2 is downward as marking A shows, the teeth orientation of the left upper teeth 4 is upward as marking B shows, then at the moment the teeth orientation of the right lower teeth 7 is consistent with that of the left lower teeth 2 and the teeth orientation of the right lower teeth 5 is consistent with that of the left upper teeth 4. Certainly, it can be also that the orientation of the left lower teeth 2 is upward and the orientation of the left upper teeth 4 is downward, as long as the teeth orientation of both applies the inverse design.

[0019] A double-tooth zipper head 1 is equipped with a zipper column 8, the middle of which fixes an all-in-one guide vane 9 with the zipper column 8. The left lower teeth 2 and left upper teeth 4 are respectively fixed on the edge of upper and lower sides of the left cloth belt 3 and are clamped to form a left groove 13; the right upper teeth 5 and right lower teeth 7 are respectively fixed on the edge of upper and lower sides of the right cloth belt 6 and are clamped to form a right groove 14.

[0020] The left side 91 of guide vane is matched with the left groove 13 and the right side 92 of guide vane is matched with the right groove 14.

[0021] Compared to the existing technical status, the anti-explosion performance of the present invention anti-explosion zipper is more advanced. As the orientation of the upper teeth and lower teeth applies the inverse design, the density of engagement between the teeth is smaller and the interaction gap between the teeth is smaller - which makes the explosion not easy, even when the zipper is bent, the explosion won't happen, which has better security. Moreover, the guide vane 9 and zipper column 8 are all-in-one, even after the long-time use, the abrasion or drop will also not occur. The guide vane 9 is fixed on the middle of zipper column 8, which makes the stresses among the zipper left loop, zipper right loop and double-tooth zipper header 1 balanced - three parts are stressed jointly; during the use, the tension of teeth is relieved and the fatigue degree of zipper is also reduced. The left side 91 of the guide vane is matched with the left groove 13 and the right side 92 of the guide vane is matched with the right groove 14, which can assure the correct and smooth movement between the double-tooth zipper header 1 and the zipper left loop and zipper right loop, even after repetitively high-frequency opening/closing, the matters like the seizure, explosion or stiff zipper movement will also not occur. In the meanwhile, the orientation of the upper teeth and lower teeth applies the inverse design, which makes the density of engagement between the teeth smaller and also makes the interaction gap between the teeth smaller, which makes the explosion not easy. The present invention is characterized by the easy operation, flexible handling, long service life, low production cost, and so on.

[0022] In this embodiment, the double-tooth zipper head 1 is yet equipped with a base plate 10 and a cover plate 11 as well as a bridge 12 of the nose used for the fixation of zipper pulls, the base plate 10 is fixed on the bottom of zipper column 8; the cover plate 11 is fixed on the top of zipper column 8; and the bridge 12 of the nose is fixed on the cover plate 11.

[0023] In this embodiment, a locating ring 121 is fixed on the bridge 12 of the nose and is a closed or unclosed locating ring. If the locating ring 121 is a closed locating ring, the zipper pulls is fixed inside the closed locating ring at the moment and is used for a long time without replacement; if the locating ring 121 is a unclosed locating ring, replace the zipper pulls depending on the need of users - this way makes users use more conveniently.

[0024] Through the improvement of zipper with existing technology, the engagement degree of the invented zipper reaches the most effective embodiment. Compared to the insufficient tension stress in this document, after the improvement of this embodiment, the guide vane 9 can correctly guide the correct movements of the left lower teeth 2, left upper teeth 4, right upper teeth 5, right lower teeth 7 and double-tooth zipper head 1 and the seizure won't happen. At the same time, the double-tooth zipper head won't have any stress point during tearing and will have a double bite force at least to effectively prevent falling and the cloth-explosion between the left cloth belt 3 and the left lower teeth 2 and left upper teeth 4 as well as between the right cloth belt 6 and the right upper teeth 5 and right lower teeth 7. Even though the zipper repeatedly opens/closes with a high frequency, it's also not worn or torn easily, especially in the process of carrying, the strength of zipper obviously emerges, which greatly reduces the probability of breakage or explosion of zipper to prevent the property in the suitcase from being lost or stolen.

[0025] One skilled in the art will understand that the embodiment of the present invention as shown in the drawings and described above is exemplary only and not intended to be limiting.
