Slide fastener system

A slide fastener system for joining a first panel to second panel by a user, the slide fastener system comprising:

• a first coupling member having a plurality of locking tabs, each of said locking tabs extending along a length of said first coupling member, said first coupling member being adapted for being coupled to the first panel;
• a second coupling member having a plurality of locking channels, each of said locking channels extending along a length of said second coupling member, said second coupling member being adapted for being coupled to the second panel, each of said locking channels of said second coupling member receiving one of said locking tabs of said first coupling member when said second coupling member and said first coupling member are pressed together, said second coupling member and said first coupling member being adapted for joining the first panel to the second panel when said second coupling member and said first coupling member are pressed together;
• a slider assembly being slidably coupled to said first coupling member and said second coupling member, said slider sliding in a first direction along said first coupling member and said second coupling member for locking each of said locking tabs of said first coupling member into a respective one of said locking channels of said second coupling member, said slider sliding in a second direction along said first coupling member and said second coupling member for removing each of said locking tabs of said first coupling member from the respective one of said locking channels of said second coupling member;
• said slider assembly having a first portion and a second portion, said first portion of said slider assembly receiving said first coupling member and said second portion of said slider assembly receiving said second coupling member when said slider assembly is coupled to said first coupling member and said second coupling member, said first portion and said second portion of said slider assembly being for pressing said locking tabs of said first coupling member into said locking channels of said second coupling member when said slider assembly is slid in said first direction;
• said first portion of said slider assembly having a securing nub, said securing nub being coupled to a front end of said first portion of the slider assembly;
• and
• said first coupling member having a securing block, said securing block being coupled to an outer surface of said first coupling member, a securing aperture extending through said securing block, said securing aperture selectively receiving said securing nub of said first portion of said slider assembly for preventing inadvertent sliding of said slider assembly with respect to said first coupling member when said slider assembly is slid along the length of the said first coupling member and said second coupling member in said first direction.

• a slider assembly being slidably coupled to said first coupling member and said second coupling member, said slider sliding in a first direction along said first coupling member and said second coupling member for locking each of said locking tabs of said first coupling member into a respective one of said locking channels of said second coupling member, said slider sliding in a second direction along said first coupling member and said second coupling member for removing each of said locking tabs of said first coupling member from the respective one of said locking channels of said second coupling member;
• said slider assembly having a first portion and a second portion, said first portion of said slider assembly receiving said first coupling member and said second portion of said slider assembly receiving said second coupling member when said slider assembly is coupled to said first coupling member and said second coupling member, said first portion and said second portion of said slider assembly being for pressing said locking tabs of said first coupling member into said locking channels of said second coupling member when said slider assembly is slid in said first direction;
• and
• said slider assembly having a separation member, said separation member being coupled between said first portion of said slider assembly and said second portion of said slider assembly, said first portion of said slider assembly being coupled to a first end of said separation member such that said first coupling member is positioned between said separation member and said first portion of said slider assembly, said second portion of said slider assembly being coupled to a second end of said separation member such that said second coupling member is positioned between said separation member and said second portion of said sliding member, said separation member being for forcing said first coupling member from said second coupling member when said slider assembly is slid in said second direction.
