Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of zippers, and more specifically to a socket for a zipper. Background Art
[0002] The zipper socket is usually fixed at the starting end of one of the zipper tapes. This socket is mainly made by resin injection molding, that is, molten resin is injected into the mold cavity from the gate. After curing, the resin will solidify in the gate. When the resin on the gate is separated from the socket, a gate mark will be formed on the socket.
[0003] To make the gate mark less noticeable, patent application number 201380080096.0 discloses a socket for a zipper opening member, which comprises: a seat rod arranged parallel to the front of the insert rod; and a socket body having an insert rod hole for inserting the rear portion of the insert rod, and a zipper tape groove connected to the insert rod hole formed on one of the left and right side surfaces of the socket body. Furthermore, a gate mark is provided behind the width of the zipper tape groove of the socket body. Alternatively, a side recessed portion connected to the zipper tape groove may be provided behind the extension direction of the zipper tape groove, and a flat portion may be provided on the peripheral portion of the side recessed portion and the portion along the zipper tape groove, with a gate mark provided on the bottom surface of the side recessed portion.
[0004] While the presence of gate marks on the left and right side surfaces of the socket body, either in a dimly lit space, or in a dimly lit space, where the zipper tape groove extends behind the zipper tape groove, or the presence of gate marks on the bottom surface of the side recess, where the zipper tape groove is continuous with the side recess, creating a sense of unity, is not likely to be noticeable, both of these gate marks are located on the side surfaces of the zipper tape groove (or the side recess) in the direction of extension, which can still draw attention during actual use, especially in well-lit environments, resulting in a poor user experience for consumers. To address this issue, we provide a zipper socket. Utility Model Content
