A slider includes a slider body part that includes an upper wing plate and a lower wing plate, a stop tab body, a tab elastic member that biases the stop tab body, a base part integrally formed with the upper wing plate, and an operation cover part rotatably attached to the base part. The operation cover part includes a pressing projecting part that projects from an inner surface of a top plate part, and the pressing projecting part has a configuration in which by rotating the operation cover part, a locked state and an unlocked state can be switched therebetween. Accordingly, since a stop mechanism by the rotation of the operation cover part can be provided in the slider with a relatively simple configuration, the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the productivity can be improved.

A baby onesie to be worn by a baby includes body covering material configured to cover a body of the body, the body covering material including an opening through which the baby's head can protrude out from, a neckline provided around a perimeter of the opening, the neckline including a neckline fastener configured to be fastened and unfastened to thereby close and open the neckline, respectively, a zipper configured to open and close the body covering material, and a zipper locking mechanism attached to the zipper, the zipper locking mechanism configured to selectively attach to the neckline fastener and thereby lock the zipper in place according to whether the neckline fastener is fastened or unfastened.

New forms of fasteners are disclosed. In some embodiments, some such fasteners include a new form of magnetic zipper or other track fastener, with two tracks of interlocking pieces moved together by magnetic force. In some embodiments, at least one of the interlocking pieces, of one of the zipper tracks, includes at least one exterior edge, interlocking with a complementary edge of another interlocking piece included in the other zipper track, when the interlocking pieces are moved into place by magnetic force. The techniques of the invention are applicable to a wide variety of applications, incorporating many different materials. For example, in some contexts, some embodiments allow rapid closing of articles, such as gym bags or sports apparel, with minimum effort, and leading to an extraordinary custom-fit to a user's preferences.

A fastening system for a zipper is disclosed which includes locking or interlocking first and second zipper pull tabs. A first zipper pull tab comprises a first base, a hook extending from the first base, and a moveable gate coupled to the first base. A second zipper pull tab comprises a second base, a cover coupled to the second base, and a post extending between the second base and the cover. For interlocking, the moveable gate and hook are further coupled around the post to provide the interlocking configuration of the first and second zipper pull tabs. The first zipper pull tab may be utilized separately from the second zipper pull tab, such as to lock to a coupling ring or another component of a carrying bag.

A zip slider (1) is described comprising a slider body (110); a lock mechanism (200) for locking the sliding movement of the slider (1) that is positioned in the slider body (110) and comprising a movable stop element (210) for stopping the sliding movement Nof the slider (1) in a longitudinal direction and in the zip opening direction and a release button (300) for unlocking the lock mechanism (200), slidably mounted in the slider body (110) and manually operable to unlock the lock mechanism (200).

A concealed-slide-fastener slider includes a body including: a pair of flanges extending inwardly in the left and right direction from upper end portions of a pair of the side plates; and a raised portion raised upward from an upper wing plate. The body cooperates with a lock member to form a pull attachment portion including a shaft hole that penetrates in the left-right direction. A lower surface of the shaft hole includes an upper surface of the raised portion and is positioned above upper surfaces of the pair of flanges. A pair of fabric accommodating space portions, which accommodate a pair of fabrics fixed to upper sides of the pair of tapes and is partitioned by the raised portion in the left-right direction, is formed between the pull in a rearward lying posture and the pair of flanges in an upper-lower direction.

A sealed zipper top stop and a zipper. The sealed zipper top stop includes a body, wherein a groove matched with one end of a slider close to the body is arranged at one side of the body close to the slider; and two elastic clamping tongues, wherein one end of each of the two elastic clamping tongues is arranged at the bottom of the groove, and another end of each of the two elastic clamping tongues extends towards a direction away from the body. The groove matched with the slider is arranged on one side of the body close to the slider, so that the slider can fit closely with the body when moving to the body without creating a gap and the sealing effect is good.
