Abstract
A slider includes: a slider body that guides elements in a front-rear direction; a pull tab holder that holds a shaft of a pull tab; and a closure member attached to the pull tab holder. The pull tab holder includes: a first end portion extending from the slider body; a body that defines a shaft-holding space with the slider body in which the shaft is disposed; and a second end portion that defines an insertion gap into which the shaft is insertable. The body includes a through hole penetrating through the body in the up-down direction; and a pair of side walls facing each other in the right-left direction across the through hole. The closure member includes: a base provided between the pair of side walls; and a first leg fitted to the insertion gap from a side of the shaft-holding space.
Claims2
A slider, comprising:
- a slider body configured to guide elements in a front-rear direction;
- a pull tab holder provided on a side of the slider body in an up-down direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction and configured to hold a shaft of a pull tab;
- and
- a closure member attached to the pull tab holder, wherein
- the pull tab holder includes:
- a first end portion extending from the slider body along the up-down direction;
- a body extending from the first end portion along the front-rear direction, a shaft-holding space being defined between the body and the slider body in which the shaft is disposed;
- and
- a second end portion provided on a side of the body opposite the first end portion to face the slider body, an insertion gap being defined between the second end portion and the slider body into which the shaft is insertable,
- the body includes:
- a through hole penetrating through the body in the up-down direction;
- and
- a pair of side walls facing each other across the through hole in a right-left direction orthogonal to each of the front-rear direction and the up-down direction, and
- the closure member includes:
- a base configured to fit between the pair of side walls;
- and
- a first leg extending from the base and configured to be fitted through the through hole and into the insertion gap from a side of the shaft-holding space,
- wherein the closure member is configured to be inserted through the through hole in the up-down direction,
- wherein the pull tab holder includes a pair of front-rear opposing surfaces facing each other in the front-rear direction across the through hole, and the front-rear opposing surfaces provided as the pair of front-rear opposing surfaces are each in contact with the closure member in the front-rear direction, and
- wherein one of the front-rear opposing surfaces provided as the pair of front-rear opposing surfaces is formed from the body to the second end portion and is in contact with each of the base and the first leg.
