Zip tail stop

A zip comprising:

• a first zip tape comprising a first set of teeth and a box;
• a second zip tape comprising:
• a second set of teeth configured to engage the first set of teeth;
• and
• an insertion pin;
• a slider arranged on the first set of teeth and configured to slide along the first set of teeth and guide the second set of teeth into engagement with the first set of teeth;
• and
• a tail stop arrangement comprising:
• a first tail stop comprising a body, a first upper end, and a first lower end, wherein the body comprises a first channel;
• and
• a second tail stop comprising a protrusion, a second upper end, and a second lower end,
• wherein the body has a first longitudinal axis,
• wherein the first channel extends parallel to the first longitudinal axis,
• wherein a coordinate system of the tail stop arrangement comprises a y-direction parallel to the first longitudinal axis, an x-direction perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis along which the first channel is open, and a z-direction perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis along which the first channel is closed,
• wherein the protrusion is configured to be inserted into the first channel in the x-direction to engage the first tail stop and the second tail stop, slide within the first channel in the y-direction when the first tail stop and the second tail stop are engaged, and slide in the first channel towards an end position,
• wherein when the protrusion is in the end position, the first tail stop and the second tail stop are configured to be aligned by an engagement of the protrusion with the first channel in the x-direction, the y-direction, and the z-direction to enable the zip to be fastened,
• wherein the first zip tape comprises the first tail stop,
• wherein the second zip tape comprises the second tail stop,
• wherein the y-direction is parallel to a direction in which the slider is configured to slide on the first set of teeth,
• wherein the first tail stop is attached to the first zip tape adjacent the box near the first upper end,
• wherein the first channel extends away from the box towards the first lower end,
• wherein the second tail stop is attached to the second zip tape adjacent the insertion pin near the second upper end,
• wherein the protrusion is arranged near the second lower end,
• wherein the second tail stop further comprises a second channel parallel to a second longitudinal axis of the second tail stop,
• wherein the protrusion is arranged in the second channel and is configured to project from the second channel, and
• wherein the second channel is configured to receive zip elements associated with the first zip tape while in use.
