  • the pull is released from any operating position tending to open the fastener, the inherent elasticity of the locking members 23 and 24 automatically locks the slider, the cam face 26 being so shaped, as shown in Fig.
  • the inclined locking points simply ride over the fastener elements and do not substantially interfere with the movement of the slider. It will be noted that the locking points are staggered a slight amount so as to engage between a pair of locking members on opposite stringers.
  • a suitable recess is formed in the slider as in Figs. 1 to 6 and after insertion of the end 32 of the locking member, the metal of the slider is pressed rmly 4into Contact with the end of the locking member thus holding it securely in place.
  • the locking member may be held by any other suitable means.
  • the spring pressure on the locking point tending to hold it in contact with the fastener elements, is reduced.
  • a single locking point 33 is provided to engage one of the rows -of fastener elements but if desired, it will be understood that a second locking point may be used. The operation is substantially the same as in Figs. 1 to 6.'
  • a locking member 34 is pivotally connected at one end to the slider ⁇ by means of laterally projecting bearings 35 engaging under a pair of ears 36 which are cut out of the top wing of the slider and bent upwardly to the desired shape.
  • the front end of the locking member has the same construction as in Figs. 7 and 8.
  • In assembling the locking member with the slider it may be bent in its middle portion so that the bearings and locking point will go into their respective positions and then the locking member is straightened out again to hold it in place.
  • the operation is generally the same except that instead of relying on spring pressure to hold the locking point in engagement with the fastener elements. the weight of the locking member itself produces this result. This construction will be found suitable in many applications where gravity will act in the right direction normally to lock the slider,
  • a locking member 37 is pivotally connected to the slider by a pair of ears 38 and a rivet 39.
  • the locking member is extended on around the slider and has a springlike extension 40 engaging the bottom side of the slider which normally holds the member in locking engagement with "the fastener elements.
  • a pair of locking points 41 and 42 are illustrated and these are, of course, of different lengths so as to engage the fastener between a pair of fastener elements on each fastener Stringer.
  • a locking member 44 has a thickened portion 45 tting in this recess and pivotally connected to the slider by a suitable pin 46.
  • the portion 45 is extended below the pin 46 to provide a camming portion 47 which is normally in engagement with a spring 48 permanently anchored in the metal of the slider.

  • cam surface 26 is spaced from the face of the slider a distance less than the thickness of the element 30 of the pull member so that when force is applied to the pull member in any direction to open the fastener the element 30 will engage the cam surface to release the locking projection 27.
