Abstract
A pull tab comprises a metal link portion having a first end pivotally connected with a slider body and a second end adapted for connection with a pull tab body, a pull tab body made of natural products such as ivory, shell etc. having at one end a cross-sectional shape substantially identical with that of the second end of the link portion; and structure for connecting the other end of the link portion and the pull tab body. Various materials for the pull tab body are available to meet various tastes of consumers.
Claims22
A pull tab to be pivotally joined with a slider body of a slider fastener for manipulating the slider, the pull tab comprising:
- a substantially frustoconical link portion having a first end pivotally connected with the slider body, and a second end adapted for connection to a pull tab body;
- a pull tab body having an end portion having a cross-sectional shape substantially identical with a cross-sectional shape of said second end of the link portion;
- and
- means for connecting said second end of the link portion and the end portion of the pull tab body,
- the connecting means comprising a through hole formed axially through the pull tab body, the through hole having a small-diametered hole portion extending from the end portion of the pull tab body and a large-diametered hole portion communicating with the small-diametered hole portion via a circumferential step and being open at a second end portion of the pull tab body;
- a support shaft axially extending from the second end of the link portion and inserted through the small-diametered hole portion, and means provided in the large-diametered hole portion for fastening a distal end of the support shaft to the circumferential step.
A pull tab to be pivotally joined with a slider body of a slider fastener for manipulating the slider, the pull tab comprising:
- a substantially frustoconical link portion having a first end pivotally connected with the slider body, and a second end adapted for connection to a pull tab body;
- a pull tab body having an end portion having a cross-sectional shape substantially identical with a cross-sectional shape of said second end of the link portion;
- and
- means for connecting said second end of the link portion and the end portion of the pull tab body,
- the connecting means comprising a blind hole formed axially of the pull tab body and being open in said first end portion of the pull tab body;
- a large-diametered recess formed in the open end of the blind hole;
- and a support shaft axially extending from said second end of link portion and inserted into the blind hole with adhesive filling the space defined between the inner periphery of the large-diametered recess and the outer periphery of the support shaft.
A pull tab to be pivotally joined with a slider body of a slider fastener for manipulating the slider, the pull tab comprising:
- a substantially frustoconical link portion having a first end pivotally connected with the slider body, and a second end adapted for connection to a pull tab body;
- a pull tab body having an end portion having a cross-sectional shape substantially identical with a cross-sectional shape of said second end of the link portion;
- and
- means for connecting said second end of the link portion and the end portion of the pull tab body,
- the connecting means comprising a blind hole formed axially of the pull tab body and being open in said first end portion of the pull tab body;
- and a support shaft axially extending from said second end of the link portion and having at its proximal end a small-diametered neck portion, the support shaft inserted into the blind hole with adhesive filling the space defined between the inner periphery of the blind hole and the outer periphery of the small-diametered neck portion of the support shaft.
A pull tab to be pivotally joined with a slider body of a slider fastener for manipulating the slider, the pull tab comprising:
