Injection-molded end stop for a slider-operated fastener

A fastener arrangement, comprising:

• a fastener including first and second tracks, said first track including a first profile, said second track including a second profile for interlocking with said first profile, said fastener extending between first and second ends;
• a slider slidably mounted to said fastener for movement between said first and second ends;
• and
• an injection-molded end stop located at least one of said first and second ends, said end stop terminating the movement of said slider at said one of said first and second ends, said one of said first and second ends including a cut edge at an angle relative to an axis of said fastener extending between said first and second ends, said end stop including exterior plastic material covering said cut edge.

A fastener arrangement, comprising:

• a fastener including first and second tracks, said first track including a first profile, said second track including a second profile for interlocking with said first profile, said fastener extending between first and second ends, said fastener including an aperture adjacent to said first end and extending through said first and second tracks;
• a slider slidably mounted to said fastener for movement between said first and second ends;
• and
• an injection-molded end stop located over said aperture, said end stop terminating the movement of said slider adjacent to said first end, said end stop including plastic material disposed within said aperture.
