Abstract
A two way open-end zipper formed of two zipper tapes, left and right top stops, a plug pin and a fixed pin and two slides is disclosed in which the fixed pin has a first upright sidewall, a second upright sidewall, a longitudinal sliding way defined between the first and second upright sidewalls for the passing of the slides during installation of the slides, and a springy hook projected from the first upright side wall into the longitudinal sliding way and adapted to stop the slides in place when the slides moved downwards along the zipper tapes to the lower limit position.
Claims16
A two way open-end zipper comprising two zipper tapes, a left top stop and a right top stop respectively fixedly molded from plastics on said zipper tapes near a top side, a plug pin and a fixed pin respectively fixedly molded from plastics on said zipper tapes at a bottom side, and an upper slide and a lower slide respectively coupled to said zipper tapes and adapted to close/open said zipper tapes, said plug pin and said fixed pin each defining a longitudinally extended sliding way,
- wherein said fixed pin comprises a first upright sidewall and a second upright sidewall longitudinally extended along two sides of the longitudinally extended sliding way of said fixed pin, and a springy hook projected from an outer end of said first upright side wall into the longitudinally extended sliding way of said fixed pin, said springy hook having a base integral with said first upright sidewall and suspended in the longitudinally extended sliding way of said fixed pin and a tip curving from said base toward said second upright sidewall and defining with said second upright sidewall a narrow gap, wherein said fixed pin further comprises a projection protruded from said second upright sidewall and facing the tip of said spring hook.
A two way open-end zipper comprising two zipper tapes, a left top stop and a right top stop respectively fixedly molded from plastics on said zipper tapes near a top side, a plug pin and a fixed pin respectively fixedly molded from plastics on said zipper tapes at a bottom side, and an upper slide and a lower slide respectively coupled to said zipper tapes and adapted to close/open said zipper tapes, said plug pin and said fixed pin each defining a longitudinally extended sliding way,
- wherein said fixed pin comprises a first upright sidewall and a second upright sidewall longitudinally extended along two sides of the longitudinally extended sliding way of said fixed pin, and a springy hook projected from an outer end of said first upright side wall into the longitudinally extended sliding way of said fixed pin, said springy hook having a base integral with said first upright sidewall and suspended in the longitudinally extended sliding way of said fixed pin and a tip curving from said base toward said second upright sidewall and defining with said second upright sidewall a narrow gap, wherein said fixed pin comprises a thin flat strip connected between said first and second upright sidewalls and defining with said first and second upright sidewalls the longitudinally extended sliding way of said fixed pin.
A two way open-end zipper comprising two zipper tapes, a left top stop and a right top stop respectively fixedly molded from plastics on said zipper tapes near a top side, a plug pin and a fixed pin respectively fixedly molded from plastics on said zipper tapes at a bottom side, and an upper slide and a lower slide respectively coupled to said zipper tapes and adapted to close/open said zipper tapes, said plug pin and said fixed pin each defining a longitudinally extended sliding way,
- wherein said fixed pin comprises a first upright sidewall and a second upright sidewall longitudinally extended along two sides of the longitudinally extended sliding way of said fixed pin, and a springy hook projected from an outer end of said first upright side wall into the longitudinally extended sliding way of said fixed pin, said springy hook having a base integral with said first upright sidewall and suspended in the longitudinally extended sliding way of said fixed pin and a tip curving from said base toward said second upright sidewall, said tip having a first side, a protruding face obliquely backwardly extended from said first side toward said first upright sidewall, and a second side, which faces said second upright sidewall and defines with said second upright sidewall a narrow gap, wherein said fixed pin further comprises a recessed portion formed in one side of said second upright sidewall and adapted to accommodate the tip of said spring hook;
- the combined width of the maximum width of said tip of said spring hook plug the width of said second upright sidewall around said recessed portion is slightly smaller than the passageway each of said upper and lower slides through which interlocking teeth of said zipper tapes pass.
A two way open-end zipper comprising two zipper tapes, a left top stop and a right top stop respectively fixedly molded from plastics on said zipper tapes near a top side, a plug pin and a fixed pin respectively fixedly molded from plastics on said zipper tapes at a bottom side, and an upper slide and a lower slide respectively coupled to said zipper tapes and adapted to close/open said zipper tapes, said plug pin and said fixed pin each defining a longitudinally extended sliding way,
- wherein said fixed gin comprises a first upright sidewall and a second upright sidewall longitudinally extended along two sides of the longitudinally extended sliding way of said fixed pin, and a springy hook projected from an outer end of said first upright side wall into the longitudinally extended sliding way of said fixed pin, said springy hook having a base integral with said first upright sidewall and suspended in the longitudinally extended sliding way of said fixed pin and a tip curving from said base toward said second upright sidewall, said tip having a first side, a protruding face obliquely backwardly extended from said first side toward said first upright sidewall, and a second side, which faces said second upright sidewall and defines with said second upright sidewall a narrow gap, wherein said fixed pin comprises a thin flat strip connected between said first and second upright sidewalls and defining with said first and second upright sidewalls the longitudinally extended sliding way of said fixed pin.
