Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable to hold a tab for sliding a slider without slipping and to make the slider slid by light operational force. SOLUTION: A tab 4 is attached to a slider 3 for opening and closing a fastener element 2 and can be used as a handle. A picking part 11 which is an end part to be away from the slider 3 is bent toward the fastener element 2 or in the reverse direction. By this, a finger tip can surely catch the picking part 11, so that an operation without slipping can be made with light operational force.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handle attached to a fastener slider for sliding the slider.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a fastener used for clothes such as outerwear, pants and skirts, bags and bags, a puller is attached to a slider for opening and closing the fastener. A conventional fastener puller has a planar shape, and the slider is slid by opening and closing the fastener by gripping and pulling the planar handle with the thumb and forefinger.

[0003]

However, the conventional slider of a planar shape has an inconvenience that it is difficult to quickly open and close the fastener because it is difficult to grasp with a fingertip. In addition, it is easy to slip due to the planar shape, and it is necessary to increase the gripping force.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and is a fastener slider for a fastener that can be reliably held by a fingertip and can be opened and closed with a light gripping force. The purpose is to provide a handle.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is directed to a puller which is attached to a slider for opening and closing a fastener element and serves as a clue when sliding the slider, and is separated from the slider. The end on the side is bent in the direction of the fastener element or in the opposite direction.

According to the present invention, since the end of the tab on the side remote from the slider is bent, the fingertip is easily caught, the fingertip can be securely gripped, and the fastener can be quickly opened and closed. Further, since the fingertip is caught, the slider can be slid with a light touch, and can be opened and closed with a small gripping force.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view showing a state in which a fastener is attached to clothes or the like. Fastener element 2 and fastener element 2
The fastener 1 is configured by including a slider 3 for opening and closing the slider 3 and a tab 4 attached to the slider 3.

The plurality of rows of fastener elements 2 are
The sliders 3 are attached to the pair of cloth tapes 5 at a predetermined interval, and when the slider 3 slides upward along the cloth tape 5, the opposite fastener elements 2 bite each other to close the fastener 1. Also, by sliding the slider 3 downward along the cloth tape 5,
The fastener 1 is opened with the fastener element 2 separated from the biting state. The cloth tape 5 attaches the fastener 1 to the support member by being sewn to a support member such as clothes and bags. In the illustrated example, the clothes 6 are used as the support member.

The slider 3 sandwiches the fastener element 2 from both sides, and a pair of bodies 7 for opening and closing the fastener element 2 in this sandwiched state, and a handle mounting provided on the upper surface of the body 7 located outside the clothes 6. And a block 8. The tab mounting block 8 protrudes from the body 7, and a mounting hole 9 for mounting the tab 4 penetrates in the left-right direction.

The tab 4 serves as a key for opening and closing the fastener, and is formed of metal or synthetic resin. One end of the tab 4 is a mounting portion 10 and the other end is a knob 11.
A mounting shaft 12 is formed in the mounting portion 10 on one end side,
When the mounting shaft 12 is inserted into the mounting hole 9 of the puller mounting block 8, the puller 4 is mounted on the slider 3. When the mounting shaft 12 passes through the handle mounting block 8, the operating force on the pull 4 is transmitted to the slider 3, and the slider 3 slides.

The knob 11 on the other end of the tab 4 is located away from the slider 3 and is gripped by the thumb and forefinger when the fastener is opened and closed. The knob 11 in this embodiment has a structure that is bent in the direction of the fastener element 2.

With such a bent structure, the knobs 11 stand up from the row of fastener elements 2. That is, as shown by the chain line in FIG. 2, when not in use, the knob 11 is in a state of being lifted from the zipper element 2 and the clothes 6, and the fingertip of the thumb or the index finger is easily caught on the knob 11, and the fingertip is securely used. Can be grasped. Therefore, the opening and closing of the fastener element 2 can be performed quickly.

When the fastener 3 is opened by sliding the slider 3 downward, the knob 11 is located below the slider 3 as shown by the chain line in FIG. 2, but the knob 11 is bent. Therefore, the finger does not slip off, and the sliding force can be reliably transmitted even with a light touch. On the other hand, a broken line in FIG. 2 shows a case where the fastener 3 is closed by sliding the slider 3 upward, and the knob 11 is located above the slider 3. Also in this case, since the knob 11 is bent, the finger does not slip out of the knob 11 and the sliding force can be reliably transmitted even with a light grip.
Therefore, in both the opening operation and the closing operation of the fastener element 2, the slider 3 can be reliably slid with a light touch and with a small gripping force.

The bending degree of the knob 11 can be arbitrarily selected, but the bending degree of the knob 11 is set in accordance with the curvature of the fingertip such as the index finger in order to effectively perform the above-described operation. Alternatively, it is set so as to be slightly larger than the curvature of the fingertip, that is, to be bent gently. In the latter case, there is a merit that the appearance does not deteriorate because the protrusion amount of the handle 4 when not in use is reduced.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 13 denotes a knob 11 of the handle 4.
Are formed to hold the knob 11 without slipping a finger. In this embodiment, since the finger slippage is eliminated as described above by bending the knob 11, the presence or absence of the formation of the anti-slip hole 13 is optional.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the knob 11 of the tab 4 is bent in a direction opposite to that of the fastener element 2. Also in this case, the fingertip is easily caught on the knob 11 and the tab 4
Can be securely held, so that the fastener element 2 can be quickly opened and closed. Further, since the fingertip does not slip, the slider 3 can be reliably slid even with a light grip.

In the above embodiment, the knob 11 of the tab 4 is bent in a curved shape. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the knob 11 may be bent in a straight line or in a wavy shape. Is also good.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since the end of the handle on the side away from the slider is bent, the fingertip is easily hooked, and the zipper can be quickly opened and closed.Since the fingertip is hooked, the slider can be slid with a light touch. It can be opened and closed with a small gripping force.
