Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a slider used on a zipper, in particular to a safety unlocking slider. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, zippers are widely used in daily life, and people's performance requirements for zippers are becoming increasingly demanding. Currently, self-locking sliders on the market are generally similar, consisting of a slider body, a pull tab, a hook, a spring, and a cap. To unlock these traditional self-locking sliders, the pull tab must be pulled to lift the hook. If the pull tab is damaged and breaks, the hook cannot be lifted, rendering the entire slider immobile and causing it to accidentally lock. In emergencies, such as when clothing catches fire or is caught, requiring immediate escape, the user may pull too hard, causing the pull tab to break and fall off, resulting in the slider accidentally locking. This can prevent the user from opening the zipper and escaping quickly, posing a safety risk. Furthermore, in some situations, such as with sportswear, the pull tab can shake during physical activity due to inertia, potentially interfering with normal movement. To address this issue, we propose a safe unlocking slider. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-5, A safety unlocking pull head, comprising a pull head body 1, a cap 2, a pull tab 3, a movable locking block 4, and a saddle-shaped spring 5; the pull head body 1 includes an upper boat plate 11 and a lower boat plate 12 arranged corresponding to each other up and down, and a guide post 13 connecting the upper boat plate 11 and the lower boat plate 12. At the front end of the outer surface of the upper boat plate 11, there is a front connecting block 1102. Along the length symmetric center line direction of the upper boat plate, there is a front positioning groove 1104. At the rear end of the outer surface of the upper boat plate 11, there is a rear connecting block 1103. Along the length symmetric center line direction of the upper boat plate, there is a rear positioning groove 1105. The front connecting block 1102 and the rear connecting block 1103 play a role in connecting and fixing the cap 2. A locking block limiting groove 1101 matching the movable locking block 4 is formed between the front connecting block 1102 and the rear connecting block 1103; the cap 2 is installed on the upper boat plate 11, and the cap 2 includes a cap front end portion 21, a cap concave portion 22, a cap convex portion 23, a cap rear end portion 24, a cap front limiting block 25, and a cap rear limiting block 26; the pull tab 3 includes a front cross bar 31, a rear cross bar 32, and a side bar 33; the movable locking block 4 is composed of a T-shaped block 41 and a return spring piece 42, and the T-shaped block 41 is an integrally formed structure composed of a left locking claw 4101, a right locking claw 4102, a control pressing block 4103, and a toothbrush 4104; the saddle-shaped spring 5 is a non-closed elastic body composed of a front saddle bridge 51, a saddle portion 52, a rear saddle bridge 53, a front section of the saddle-shaped spring bottom edge 54, and a rear section of the saddle-shaped spring bottom edge 55.

[0022] During installation, the movable locking block 4 can be first placed in the locking block limiting groove 1101, the saddle-shaped spring 5 is placed inside the cap 2, so that the front saddle bridge 51 is in close contact with the cap front limiting block 25, and the rear saddle bridge 53 is in close contact with the cap rear limiting block 26. The pull tab 3 passes through the gap between the front section of the saddle-shaped spring bottom edge 54 and the rear section of the saddle-shaped spring bottom edge 55, the pull tab 3 is sleeved on the cap 2, the cap front end portion 21 is installed on the front connecting block 1102, and at the same time, the front section of the saddle-shaped spring bottom edge 54 is placed in the front positioning groove 1104. Then, the cap rear end portion 24 is installed on the rear connecting block 1103, and at the same time, the rear section of the saddle-shaped spring bottom edge 55 is placed in the card slot 43 and the rear positioning groove 1105.

[0023] Refer to Figure 6When the safety unlocking slider needs to be locked, the user inserts the front crossbar 31 of the pull tab 3 into the space formed by the cap convex part 23 and the movable locking block 4. The pull tab 3 is pressed and fixed, preventing the pull tab 3 from shaking. At this time, the upper surface of the front crossbar 31 abuts against the saddle part 52, and the lower surface of the front crossbar 31 abuts against the rear section of the bottom edge of the saddle-shaped spring 55. The front crossbar 31 applies a downward pressure to the rear section of the bottom edge of the saddle-shaped spring 55. Since the rear section of the bottom edge of the saddle-shaped spring 55 is installed in the card slot 43 of the movable locking block 4, the rear section of the bottom edge of the saddle-shaped spring 55 will apply a downward pressure to the movable locking block 4, causing the reset spring piece 42 to undergo elastic deformation. The movable locking block 4 descends in the locking block limiting groove 1101, and the toothbrush 4104 also descends into the slider cavity. Under the pressure of the rear section of the bottom edge of the saddle-shaped spring 55, the toothbrush 4104 is in close contact with the surface and gaps of the zipper teeth. Compared with the point-surface contact of the horse hook, this type of contact area is larger, playing a role in safely locking the zipper.

[0024] Refer to Figure 7 When the safety unlocking slider needs to be unlocked, the user pushes the pull tab 3 into the space formed by the cap concave part 22 and the movable locking block 4. At this time, the front crossbar 31 no longer contacts the saddle part 52, and the acting force applied by the front crossbar 31 to the saddle-shaped spring 5 disappears. Therefore, the pressure applied by the rear section of the bottom edge of the saddle-shaped spring 55 to the movable locking block 4 also disappears, and the reset spring piece 42 automatically rebounds, driving the entire movable locking block 4 to rise in the locking block limiting groove 1101. The toothbrush 4104 disengages from the zipper teeth, and the zipper is opened accordingly.

[0025] When the pull tab 3 is damaged, broken, or falls off, the pressure applied by the rear section of the bottom edge of the saddle-shaped spring 55 to the movable locking block 4 is automatically released, the reset spring piece 42 automatically rebounds, and the toothbrush 4104 disengages from the zipper teeth, realizing the safety unlocking of the slider.
