A zipper closure facilitator assembly for use with articles of apparel to permit a user person with limited arm reach and movement, such has with old age or incapacitated persons, or anyone, ease of access to the slider of the zipper closure. One of the twin bands to which complimentary zipper teeth are secured, has a free short bottom section which is not sewn to the article of apparel but removably attached thereto by magnetic attraction for ease of access to the slider. Closure facilitators using superimposed magnetic strips provides ease of engagement and removal of articles of footwear.

A slide fastener includes a right and left pair of first fastener stringers and second fastener stringer, and a slider. The first fastener stringer and the second fastener stringer each include a fastener tape, a fastener element array, and a restricting unit restricting displacement of right and left cover materials away from each other. The restricting unit is configured to form a space that receives a side periphery of each of the cover materials between the restricting unit and the fastener tape.

The present invention relates to the field of zippers, and discloses a zipper assembly, including at least three zipper tapes. Zipper teeth are provided on the sides of the zipper tapes. Each zipper tape includes a first half of the zipper tape and a second half of the zipper tape. Among the at least three zipper tapes, the first half of one zipper tape and the second half of the one zipper tape are respectively arranged corresponding to the second half of another zipper tape adjacent to the one zipper tape and the first half of the rest one zipper tape adjacent to the one zipper tape. Zipper puller and slider are slidably installed on the opposite sides of the zipper teeth on the first half and the second half of each zipper tape. One zipper tape is divided into two halves, and the zipper teeth of two adjacent halves of the zipper tapes are meshed. The zipper pullers and sliders are located in the middle of the zipper tapes when reaching the end points where the zippers are closed. The zipper pullers and sliders do not easily detach from the zipper tapes, ensuring the practicality of the zipper assembly.

An element is configured to be installed together with a tape to form a fastener stringer, and includes: a main body including an upper main body and a lower main body; an installing portion for installing the tape; a head; and a neck connecting the main body and the head, wherein at least one of the upper main body and the lower main body includes a convex portion and a base portion, the convex portion protrudes from the base portion and extends in the left-right direction at an intermediate position in the front-rear direction. An inclined portion inclined downward along the left-right direction is formed on at least one side of the head along the upper-lower direction, and protrusions extending in the front-rear direction are formed on both sides of the convex portion.

An extendable luggage comprises a first shell having a first opening edge, a second shell having a second opening edge, an inner zipper, an outer zipper and an inner strap. The inner zipper has outer teeth located at a first and second distance away from the first and second opening edge, respectively. The outer zipper has two outer tapes and outer teeth. Each outer tape has a straight section, a head section and a tail section. The outer teeth located at distal ends of the two head sections and two tail sections are closed and unable to be opened. The outer teeth located at the two straight sections are located at a third distance away from the first opening edge and a fourth distance away from the second opening edge. The inner strap is connected with two ends of the inner zipper. The luggage looks simple and is extendable.
