A slider for slide fastener includes: a body including a pull tab attachment post; and a pull tab. The pull tab includes: a coupling member including an exposed portion and an embedded portion; and a pinching member including a first pinching portion including an annular end portion having an opening through which the embedded portion is to be inserted, and a second pinching portion provided to the first pinching portion with the embedded portion interposed therebetween. At least one of a front end surface and a rear end surface of the pull tab attachment post has a protrusion. And when the pull tab is tilted toward at least one of a front side and a rear side of the body, the protrusion locks the pull tab to restrict rotation of the pull tab.

Various embodiments of a dressing aid are disclosed. In one embodiment, a dressing aid, comprises a grip; an extender extending from the grip, the extender having a proximal end and a distal end; a clasping mechanism coupled with the distal end of the extender; and a locking mechanism configured to lock the extender into a fixed position such that the clasping mechanism remains at a fixed length from the grip.

Various examples of a device for aiding in closure of a zipper are disclosed. The device includes a body comprising a base portion and an elongated spring portion extending from the base portion, the elongated spring portion configured with a bend such that the elongated spring portion overlaps the base portion such that a distal portion of the elongated spring portion together with at least a portion of the base portion forms a gripping section to receive a zipper tab of the zipper; and a locking member comprising a lever arm and a tension member, the tension member positioned at an angle with respect to the lever arm, the locking member configured to pivot with respect to the body such that the tension member applies pressure to the elongated spring portion in a closed position to secure the zipper tab.

A bungee bead apparatus includes a bead and elastic cord with first and second ends fixedly secured in proximity to, or in contact with, each other at one end of the bead to form a loop. A circumferential recess formed between first and second sides of the bead extends from the bead's first end to its second end, having a cross-sectional height and width to receive the loop of the elastic cord therethrough. The orifice extends at an acute angle, positioned midway between the bead's first and second sides, and begins at the bead's first end in proximity to the first side, and transects the circumferential recess at its second end. The circumferential recess is annular with a depth of about one-half the diameter of the cylindrical elastic cord to receive only a portion therein. The recess and orifice permit two (or more) such apparatus to be linked together.

The disclosure provides a pull and a manufacturing method of the pull, which can mount an electronic component inside a handle part without damaging the electronic component and have favorable electronic functions. The pull of the disclosure is to be mounted on a slider for a slide fastener, and includes a ring part, an insertion part, the handle part, and the electronic component. The ring part is to be mounted on the slider. The insertion part is connected to the ring part for receiving an injection material. The handle part is formed sequentially on the insertion part by the injection material. The electronic component is mounted inside the handle part in a process in which the handle part is formed sequentially on the insertion part by the injection material.

A slider and a zipper comprising the slider. The slider comprises a pull tab, a slider body, and a safety catch; the slider body is provided with an upper base plate and a lower base plate; the upper base plate is provided with a rear rivet body set and a front rivet body set which are arranged in a corresponding manner; when the pull tab is rotated and contacts the front rivet body set, the front rivet body set contacts a side column of the pull tab to block the overturn of the pull tab. The front rivet body set applies a force on the rotated pull tab, such that the pull tab is rebounded to the rear end of the slider with a horizontal part as a rotating axis, and the safety catch is locked downwards to lock the zipper.

A pull including an attachment loop, a gripping loop, a loop connector connecting the attachment loop to the gripping loop. The pull is sized and configured to be attached to an object and enable a user to strongly grip the pull and place suitable forces on the object to move the object.

A zipper head assembly structure and a sliding element thereof are provided. The zipper head assembly structure includes a sliding element, an elastic element and a pulling element. The sliding element includes a first sliding portion, two riveted portions disposed on the first sliding portion, and two stop portions respectively adjacent to the two riveted portions. The elastic element is disposed on the sliding element. The pulling element includes a pivot portion movably disposed on the first sliding portion and two abutting portions respectively connected to two opposite sides of the pivot portion. When the pulling element has been moved relative to the sliding element so as to make the pulling element substantially perpendicular to the first sliding portion, the two abutting portions of the pulling element respectively abut against the two stop portions, so that the pulling element is blocked by the two stop portions.

A fastening system, apparatus, and/or device for interlocking a first zipper tooth and a second zipper tooth. The fastening system, apparatus, and/or device may include a slider configured to vertically interconnect a first zipper tooth with a second zipper tooth, the slider comprising a bottom zipper receptacle including a first channel at a bottom portion of the slider and extending from a back of the slider to a front of the slider, a top zipper receptacle including a second channel at a top portion of the slider and extending from a back of the slider to the front of the slider, and a finger holder extending along a top surface of the slider where the finger holder has a concave shape that is configured to receive a finger of a user.

A hinged slider for a closure assembly of a bag includes a top wall and a pair of legs extending from the top wall. A first leg and a second leg of the pair each includes a top end attached to the top wall and a bottom end opposing the top end. A pair of wings is hingedly attached to the pair of legs. A first wing and a second wing of the pair of wings is each hingedly attached to the bottom end of the first leg and second leg, respectively, as a hinge mechanism. The first wing and the second wing hinge downwardly in order to install the slider onto the closure assembly.
