The invention provides for a slider for a child proof slider-zipper assembly having a leading edge, a trailing edge and a top edge with a top surface and a top frame comprising: a pair of protrusions at the bottom of the leading edge, a pair of protrusions at the bottom of the trailing edge, and an opening plow protruding from the top surface of the slider, between the leading edge and trailing edge, and having height not more than the height of the slider such that the top surface projects upwards from the top frame.
Claims15
A slider and zipper assembly, the slider having a leading edge, a trailing edge and a top edge with a top surface and a top frame, comprising:
- a pair of protrusions at the trailing edge pressing on opposite sides of a zipper of the slider and zipper assembly to close the zipper upon moving the slider over the zipper in a closing direction, and
- an opening plow on the top surface and protruding downward between the leading edge and the trailing edge, wherein the top surface is positioned such that it originally projects upward from the top frame, and wherein the top surface is depressed downward for the opening plow to penetrate a pair of inter-locked inter-locking members on the opposite sides of the zipper, and for the opening plow to separate the pair of inter-locking members and open the zipper by moving the slider over the zipper in an opening direction while the top surface is being depressed downward, and wherein when the top surface is not depressed downward, the top surface tends to return to its original upwardly projecting position.
A re-closable flexible package comprising:
- a pair of side panels joined along a first side edge and a second side edge, the panels defining a mouth providing access to a package interior,
- a zipper positioned along the mouth of the package for selectively opening and closing the package mouth, the zipper including a first pair of inter-locking members and a second pair of inter-locking members below the first pair,
- a slider over the zipper having a leading edge and a trailing edge and a top edge with a top surface and a top frame, the slider comprising a pair of protrusions at the leading edge, a pair of protrusions at the trailing edge, and an opening plow on the top surface and protruding downward between the leading edge and the trailing edge, wherein the top surface is positioned such that it originally projects upwards from the top frame, wherein the top surface is depressed downward for the opening plow to penetrate the first pair of inter-locked inter-locking members on the opposite sides of the zipper, and for the opening plow to separate the first pair of inter-locking members by moving the slider over the zipper in an opening direction while the top surface is being depressed downward, wherein when the top surface is not depressed downward, the top surface tends to return to its original upwardly projecting position and flexibility of the zipper and an open first pair causes the second pair to separate thereby opening the zipper.
