- Zipper closures are used on articles of clothing, purses, luggage, sports uniforms, and other articles, to close two panels of material relative to each other. These panels may be the front panels of a jacket, the side panels of a purse, the panels of a suitcase, etc. In all instances, the zipper closure secures two elements to prevent opening and access to the interior. These zipper closures may be forced open due to excessive forces on the article or by the action of an unauthorized person. Regardless, existing systems to secure zipper closures are often inadequate for many applications. One such approach, often used in sky diving suits, requires placing a piece of tape across the coils of a zipper closure, in a path of travel of the zipper slider, under the zipper pull.
- the tape When so located, the tape may prevent the zipper slider from being forced downward by external forces (for example, the extremely high velocity air attendant with sky diving).

These zipper closures may be forced open due to excessive forces on the article or by the action of an unauthorized person. Regardless, existing systems to secure zipper closures are often inadequate for many applications. One such approach, often used in sky diving suits, requires placing a piece of tape across the coils of a zipper closure, in a path of travel of the zipper slider, under the zipper pull. When so located, the tape may prevent the zipper slider from being forced downward by external forces (for example, the extremely high velocity air attendant with sky diving). This approach is undesirable, however, because repeated use of tape may damage the sky diving suit material or stick to the coils thereby resulting in poor performance of the zipper.

Thepull 108 is received within thepocket 112 and the securement means 120 holds theflap 110 in place. When in this position, thezipper closure 104 is prevented from being forced open. -
FIG. 2 depicts an alternative embodiment of thepocket 112, having a curvedtop edge 118′. Other configurations of the pocket are contemplated. For example, thebottom 116 may be secured or unsecured to theflap 110. Thepocket 112 may be formed of an elastic or semi-elastic material to ease insertion of thepull 108 therein. Additionally, the pocket may be formed from two or more discrete panels of material, as required or desired for a particular application. -
FIGS. 3A-3C depict anarticle 300 having another embodiment of a zipper securement system. The system is configured as depicted in the preceding figures, accordingly, common elements (panels FIGS. 3A-3C , however, includes twoflaps first flap 310 b includes securement means 320 b such as those described above. Thefirst flap 310 b is sized to fit underneath thepull 308 when thepull 308 is in the uppermost position on thecoils first flap 310 b prevents the slider from being forced downward. This partially secured position is depicted inFIG. 3B . In this partially secured position, however, thepull 308 is still accessible, which could lead to undesired movement. In certain embodiments, however, this partially secured position may be sufficient to prevent movement of thepull 308.FIG. 3C depicts a secured position, where asecond flap 310 a is folded over thepull 308, and securement means located thereon 320 a are fixed to theopposite panel 302 b. This secured position prevents movement of thepull 308. - The materials used in the zipper closure securement systems depicted herein may be any materials typically used in the manufacture of clothing or other articles on which the securement system is located. These may include nylon, polyester, rubber, GORE-TEX™, elastic, LYCRA™, etc. Additionally, although the above embodiments are described in the application of a sky diving suit, the systems may be used on other articles having zipper closure systems where inadvertent or unintentional movement of a slider is not desirable. These may include outdoor clothing or equipment, where zipper pulls may catch on tree branches or other elements. Also, the systems have application on luggage or bags to help disguise and further secure the zipper closure from unauthorized access. Additionally, securing the zipper pull as described herein may also prevent breakage to the pull, which may occur during handling (by automated baggage equipment, for example).
- Additionally, the zipper securement system need not be located only at a top of a zipper closure. For example, multiple flaps and/or pockets may be located at various locations along a jacket flap on an article of clothing. This would enable the slider to be secured in multiple positions along the length of the zipper closure. Retrofit zipper closure systems are also contemplated. In such an embodiment, the flap depicted in
FIGS. 1B-1C (or the flaps inFIGS. 3A-3C ), may be releasably secured to both panels with securement means.
