Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A slide fastener slider having a pull tab removably attached to a pull tab connector pivotally connected to a slider body. The pull tab includes an elongate base having at one end a generally C-shaped neck portion, and a closure rod telescopically supported by the base and normally urged by a spring to close a gap between opposite ends of the C-shaped neck portion to thereby prevent the pull tab from being removed from the connector. When the closure rod is retracted from the gap against the bias of the spring, a pintle of the connector is allowed to pass through the gap so that the pull tab can be removed from the connector.

Description
~q~7 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention:
The present invention relates to slide fasteners, and more particularly to a slide fastener slider having a detachable pull tab.
Description of the Prior Art:
French Patent 2,453,614 discloses a slide fastener slider having a pull tab which is removably attached to a connector pivotally connec~ed to a slider body. The disclosed pull tab however has a relatively complex mechanism by which the pull tab is removably attached to the connector and which re~uires a special tool or jig to detach the pull tab from the connector. Further, this complex mechanism bulges on opposite surfaces of the pull tab, thus making the latter unsightly.
SUMMARY OF THE INVEN~IO~
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a slide fastener slider in which a pull tab can be surely attached to pull tab connector and also can be easily detached therefrom without using a special tool or jig.
Another object of the invention is to provide a slide fastener slider having a detachable pull tab which is simple in construction with no bulges on either its top or bottom surface so that a design or emblem, as desired, can be borne over virtually the whole area of either pull tab surface.
According to the present invention~ a sliderpull ~3~2~2 tab, which is removably attached to a pintle of a pull tab connector pivotally connected to a slider body, includes an elongate base having at one end a generally C-shaped neck portion, and a closure rod telescopically supported by the base and normally urged by a spring to close a gap between opposite ends of the C-shaped neck portion to thereby prevent the pull tab from being removed from the connector. When the closure rod is retracted from the gap against the bias of the spring, the connector pintle is allowed to pass through the gap so that the pull tab can be removed from the connector.
Many other advantages, features and additional objects o the present invention will become mani~est to those versed in the art upon making reference to the detailed description and the accompanying drawings in which two preferred embodiments incorporating the principles of the presen-t invention are shown by way o~ illustrative example.
BRIEF DESCRIPrrION OF THE DR~WINGS
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a slide fastener slider having a detachable pull tab embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 iS an enlarged, partially cross-sectiona].
view taken along line II - II of FIG. 1, showing the pull tab having been attached to a pull tab connector;
FIG. 3 is a transverse cross-sectional view taken along line III - III of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a partially cross-sectional view similar to FIG. 2, showing the manner in whlch the pull tab is 1 fD~
detached from the pull tab connector; and FIG. 5 is a ~artially cross-sectional view similar to FIG, 2, showing a modiLied pull tab.
DETAILED DESRCIPTION
The principles of the present invention are par-ticularly useful when embodied in a slide fastener slider such as shown in FIG. 1~ wholly indica-ted by the numeral 10. The slide fastener slider 10 generally comprises a slider body 11, a pull tab connector 12 pivotally connected at one end to a support lug lla on the slider body 11 and having a-t the other end a pintle 12a, and a pull tab 13 pivotally connected to the connector pintle 12a and detachable therefrom in a manner described below.
As shown in FIG. 2, the pull tab 13 includes an elongate base 14 having at one end a generally C-shaped neck portion 15, and a closure rod 16 telescopically supported by the base 14. The closure rod 16 is partially received in a lonyitudinal or axial hole 17 of the base 14 and is movable with respect to the la-tter b~tween a first or "closed" position ~FIG. 2) in which the closure rod 16 closes a yap s between opposite ends of suc~ a C shape of the n.eck portion 1~ to thereby prevent the passage of the connector pintle 12a through the gap s, and a secord or "open" position (FIG. 3) in which the closure rod 16 is retracted from the gap s to thereby allow the connector pintle 12a to pass through the gap s~ ~ compression spring 18 is mounted in the hole 17 of the base 14 to normally u.rge the closure rod 16 to the closed position (FIG. 2).
~ Y2~
At 1ts free or right end portion 19, the closure rod 16 is dog-legged upwardly, i.e. toward the C-shaped neck portion lS, so that when the closure rod 16 is in the closed position (FIG. 2), its distal end l9a is engageable with the free end 15a of the neck portion 15 so as to limit the outward or rightward movement of the closure rod 16 against the bias of the spring 18.
To detach the pull tab 13 from the connector 12, the closure rod 16 is moved simply by the finger (not shown) in the direction of an arrow A against the bias of the spring 18 until the closure rod 16 is retracted from the gap s to allow the connector pintle 12a to pass therethrough. Thus the pull tab 13 can be detached from the connector 12 by s~nplygetting the connector pintle 12a out of the C shape of the neck portion 15. To attach the pull tab 13 again; with the closure rod 16 held in the retracted or open position (FIG. ~ the connector pintle 12a is placed in the C shape of the neck portion lS, and then the closure rod 16, when released, is moved to the advanced or closed position (FIG.2) by the action of the spring 18, Accordingly, the pull tab 13 can be easily and surely attached to the connector 12 and also can be easily detached therefrom without using a special tool or jig.
Eurther, since the closure rod 16 is telescopically supported through the base 14, there appear no bulges on either the top or bottom surface of the base 14 so that a desi~n or emblem, as desired, can be borne over the whole area of either surface of the base 14.
3~2 In order to facilitate its manual retraction, the closure rod 16 may have on its bottom side (opposite to the C-sha~ed neck portion 15) a projection 20 adjacent to the heel l9b of the dog-leg shape, as indicated by phantom lines in FIGS. 2 and 4.
FIG. 5 shows a modified pull tab 23 in which the base 14 has, in one side opposi~e to the C-shaped neck portion 15,a longitudinal sl.ot 24 communicating with ~he hole 17 and in which a straight closure rod 16 has a projection 25 received in the slot 24 and slidable therea].ong in response to the movement of the closure rod 16 between the closed and open positions. With this arrangement, the extent to which the closure rod 16 is moved is limited within the length of the slot 24.
Although various minor modifications may be suygested by those versed in the art, it should be understood that we wish to embody within the scope of the patent warranted hereon, all such embodiments as reasonab~y and properly come within the scope of my contribution to the art.
