A slider cover includes a body having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first end and the second end of the body are arranged in a direction of travel of the slider cover. The slider cover includes a first slider-receiving area at the first end. A centerline of the first slider-receiving area extends at a non-parallel angle with respect to a horizontal plane of the slider cover. The slider cover also includes a second slider-receiving area at the second end. A centerline of the second slider-receiving area extends at a non-parallel angle with respect to the horizontal plane of the slider cover.

A luggage article includes a body that includes a zippered opening (15) that has at least one zipper arrangement having a zipper tape (14). The zipper arrangement includes one or more zipper sliders (16, 20) and one or more zipper pull-tabs (18, 22). Each of the one or more zipper sliders (16, 20) is joined to a respective one of the one or more zipper pull-tabs (18, 22). The luggage article includes a means (26) for holding the one or more pull-tabs in a substantially perpendicular arrangement to the zipper tape (14) of the zipper arrangement.

A slider for a closure assembly of a bag. The slider has a pair of finger pads extending from a top wall. Each pad has a surface with a curved portion running from a front end to a back end of the slider, a defined, first curved area extending from the curved portion to an end of the first curved area, and a defined, second curved area extending from the end of the first curved area to a midpoint of the curved portion. The first curved area and the second curved area are defined by different angles at which the respective curved area extends into the respective finger pad. Each finger pad includes a major axis dimension greater than a minor axis dimension to provide an area that fits an average finger size, and a lip region to guide a finger of a user into a finger pad.

A zipper with inclined surface teeth includes a pair of zipper cloth tapes extending along an axial direction and left and right zipper teeth which are arranged on inners ides of the pair of zipper cloth tapes and can be mutually fastened, an outer combined lateral surface and an inner combined lateral surface being formed after the left and right zipper teeth are fastened, wherein from a cross section, the whole outer combined lateral surface forms a smoothly-transitioned inclined surface. When the zipper is in a fastened state, the whole outer combined lateral surface forms a smoothly-transitioned inclined surface, so that uneven areas of the outer combined lateral surface of the zipper teeth of the zipper are greatly reduced, the overall appearance of the outer combined lateral surface is optimized, and moreover, the user feels relatively smooth when touching the zipper teeth, and scratches to the hands are avoided.

An apparatus to be used as the slider on a zipper chain is disclosed. The apparatus may include a slider that may be configured with an attachment that may add decorative elements to the slider. The attachment may be configured to the slider using a mount that may include an inner opening that may receive the slider.

A slider for a slide fastener in which the slider is attached to fastener chains is provided. The slider includes a first member and a second member. The first member includes an upper blade, a lower blade, a guide post connected between the upper blade and the lower blade, and a connecting post protruding from the upper blade. The second member includes a first arm and a second arm separated from each other, is attached to the first member by the first arm and the second arm, and is configured to rotate along an upper-lower direction relative to the first member and around a fulcrum provided on the upper blade or the lower blade. The first member or the second member is provided with a flange. Three or more fit sections are formed between the first member and the second member.

The invention involves a securable slider assembly for a zipper. The securable slider assembly is formed in a single die cast operation to include the securable slider and the pull being formed simultaneously. At least one side shifting slide is incorporated into the die, which allows the bridge and pull loop to be formed with their full geometric shape and without the converging flat surfaces required in the prior art. The slide assembly includes a puller that includes geometry to allow two slides to be secured together after the closing operation of the zipper teeth and restricts the ability to separate the pullers for opening of the zipper teeth to provide security to the user.

A modular linking system allows bags, pouches, and other items to be connected together quickly and securely while providing the ability to remotely disconnect the two items. The modular linking system includes a post assembly and a receiver assembly, each of which includes a geared component to permit variously angled, non-rotational engagement therebetween. The receiver assembly includes a locking member that is resiliently moveable to an unlocked position to permit disengagement between the post assembly and the receiver assembly. The locking member includes two arms that are positioned in a slide lockup channel of the post assembly in the locked configuration, where the arms move out of engagement with the slide lockup channel in the unlocked configuration.

A slider for a closure assembly of a bag. The slider has a top wall and a pair of wings extending from the top wall. A first wing of the pair of wings includes a first finger pad and a surrounding lip, and a second wing of the pair of wings includes a second finger pad and a surrounding lip. The first and second finger pads each have a major axis dimension that is larger than a minor axis dimension to provide a slider with an improved ergonomic feel.

A slider, includes a slider base, a pull-tab, a connecting shaft and a spring; the slider base includes an upper blade, a lower blade, and a connecting pin connecting the upper blade and the lower blade; said pull-tab is integrated with the connecting shaft; the pull-tab includes a pull-tab body, with a spring mounting part and a locking part set at the anterior-end-face of the pull-tab body; the anterior-end-face of the pull-tab body is set as a locking vertical plane and the bottom of the pull-tab body is set as cambered surface; the connecting shaft is fixed to the anterior-end of the pull-tab body and the length of the connecting shaft is larger than the width of the anterior-end-face of the pull-tab body; the connecting shaft runs through the spring mounting part and the locking part and extends to both sides of the anterior-end of the pull-tab body.
