Abstract

A weighted zipper pull for automatically closing an entrance such as a trampoline entrance, includes a weighted member, a resealable opening, and a zipper attachment portion. The weighted member is configured to at least one of receive and release material through the resealable opening to adjust a weight of the weighted member. The zipper attachment portion of the weighted zipper pull is used to attach the weighted zipper pull to a zipper that is operably connected to an entrance such that a slider body of the zipper is moveable in relation to the zipper between a lower closed position wherein the entrance is closed and an upper open position wherein the entrance is opened. When the weighted zipper pull is attached to the zipper, the weighted zipper pull pulls the slider body from the upper open position to the lower closed position by gravity to automatically close the entrance.
