Abstract
A zipper actuating device includes a first handle configured to provide an actuating force to actuate a zipper handle with a first distal end; a second distal end; and an aperture located near the first distal end configured to slide over a zipper pull tab; a second handle configured to provide a counter force to actuate the zipper with a first distal end; and a second distal end. The counter force allows the actuating force to be transferred to a bottom of the zipper handle which moves a zipper apparatus in a parallel direction to the actuating force to a set of zipper threads.
Claims2
A zipper actuating device configured to releasably engage with a zipper having a pull tab, the zipper actuating device comprising:
- a first handle having:
- a first distal end;
- a second distal end;
- and
- an aperture provided on and through the first distal end, and the aperture is sized to fit the pull tab therethrough;
- a second handle configured to provide a stabilizing counter force having:
- a first distal end;
- and
