Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to zipper technology, and in particular to a double-opening zipper. Background Technology
[0002] In existing zipper products, to ensure smooth operation, the height of the zipper pull's inner cavity and the thickness of the zipper teeth are often designed with a gap fit. This fit is also applied to the fit between the zipper's top and bottom stops (including squares, pins, and double-opening zippers) and the zipper pull. In double-opening zippers, the bottom pull often uses a self-locking mechanism. However, when this type of pull is used, if the hem suddenly experiences significant tension and the force exceeds the pull's locking limit, the zipper teeth can be damaged, rendering the zipper unusable. To address this issue, a non-locking zipper pull is sometimes used. However, because the bottom pull lacks locking force, and the height of the pull and the thickness of the left and right openings are designed with a gap fit, the pull can easily slide upwards. This allows the hem to open easily even under slight tension, negatively impacting the user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a double-opening zipper with a better user experience.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is:
[0005] A double-opening zipper includes a first zipper pull, a second zipper pull, a first zipper belt, and a second zipper belt. The first zipper belt includes a first row of chain teeth arranged sequentially along a straight line and a socket located at one end of the first zipper belt. The second zipper belt includes a second row of chain teeth arranged sequentially along a straight line and a pin. The first zipper pull and the second zipper pull are slidably disposed on the first zipper belt. The first zipper pull is a non-locking zipper pull, and the first zipper pull is positioned closer to the socket than the second zipper pull. The direction perpendicular to the plane containing the first zipper belt and the second zipper belt is defined as... In the thickness direction, the free end of the pin is the head end, and the maximum thickness of the head end of the pin is b1. The other end of the pin is the tail end, and the maximum thickness of the tail end of the pin is b2. The side of the first pull head closest to the socket is an opening, and the height of the opening of the first pull head is h1. The side of the first pull head furthest from the socket is the rear end, and the height of the inner cavity of the rear end of the first pull head is h2. The pin and the first pull head satisfy the following conditions: h1+d>b1>h1 or h2+d>b2>h2, 0.2mm>d>0.1mm.
[0006] Furthermore, a protrusion is provided on the tail end of the pin, and the thickness of the tail end of the pin corresponding to the protrusion is the maximum thickness b2.
[0007] Furthermore, the protrusions are provided on both sides of the pin in the thickness direction.

[0023] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.
[0024] Implementation Method 1:
[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The illustrated double-opening zipper includes a first zipper pull 1, a second zipper pull (not shown), a first zipper belt, and a second zipper belt. The first zipper belt includes a first set of chain teeth 2 and a socket 3 arranged sequentially on the same straight line. The first zipper belt also includes a first fabric strip. The first set of chain teeth 2 and the socket 3 are located on one side edge of the first fabric strip. The first fabric strip, the first set of chain teeth 2, and the socket 3 are located on the same plane. The second zipper belt includes a second set of chain teeth 4 and a pin 5 arranged sequentially on the same straight line. The second zipper belt also includes a second fabric strip. The second set of chain teeth 4 and the pin 5 are located on one side edge of the second fabric strip. The second fabric strip, the second set of chain teeth 4, and the pin 5 are located on the same plane. The first zipper pull 1 and the second zipper pull slide on the first zipper belt. Both the first and second fabric strips are conventional plastic steel zipper fabric strips. The first set of chain teeth 2 and the second set of chain teeth 4 are conventional plastic steel chain teeth. The first zipper pull 1 and the second zipper pull are conventional zipper pulls, which will not be described in detail here.
[0026] The first zipper 1 and the second zipper 1 are slidably disposed on the first chain belt. The first zipper 1 is a non-locking zipper, which is a zipper without a hook in conventional technology. The first zipper 1 is located between the second zipper 1 and the socket 3. Both the second zipper 1 and the first zipper 2 are provided with a support core 6. The support cores of the second zipper 1 and the first zipper 2 are arranged opposite to each other. Both the second zipper 1 and the first zipper 2 have an opening and an inner cavity. The opening is located on both sides of the support core. The inner cavity is used to accommodate the first chain belt and the second chain belt. The opening of the first zipper 1 is close to the socket 3. The end of the first zipper 1 away from the socket 3 is the rear end. The height of the opening of the first zipper 1 is h1, and the height of the inner cavity at the rear end of the first zipper 1 is h2.
[0027] Let the direction perpendicular to the plane where the first chain and the second chain are located be the thickness direction. The two sides of the socket 3 located in the thickness direction are the upper side and the lower side, respectively. The side where the socket 3 and the pin 5 face each other is the inner side. Both the upper side and the lower side are provided with a stop block 7 and a protrusion 8. Let the end where the pin 5 and the socket 3 are located be the rear, and the direction in which the first chain tooth row 2 and the second chain tooth row 4 extend is the front.
[0028] The stop block 7 is located on the outer edge of the tail of the pin 5. The stop block 7 is square in shape and is used to cooperate with the opening of the first pull head 1 to restrict the first pull head 1 from coming out of the socket 3.
[0029] In this embodiment, the thickness of the end of the socket 3 corresponding to the protrusion 8 is the maximum thickness b2 of the socket 3. b2 and h2 satisfy the following relationship: h2+d>b2>h2, where 0.2mm>d>0.1mm. This size design allows the first pull head 1 to have a moderate deformation after engaging with the socket 3, ensuring that the first pull head 1 can be firmly engaged with the socket 3 without getting stuck in the socket and unable to be pulled out.
[0030] Furthermore, as several alternative solutions, the protrusion 8 can be either a sloping protrusion whose height gradually increases from the tail end to the head end, or a frustum-shaped column that gradually narrows from the bottom to the end. In this embodiment, the protrusion 8 adopts the latter solution. Preferably, the frustum-shaped column is a frustum-shaped column that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
[0031] This utility model has the following advantages:
[0032] When the first pull head 1 is engaged with the socket 3 and the opening of the first pull head 1 is fitted onto the stop block 7, the upper and lower surfaces of the protrusion 8 abut against the inner cavity of the tail of the first pull head 1. Since the maximum thickness of the protrusion 8 is higher than the height of the inner cavity of the first pull head 1, the protrusion 8 and the inner cavity of the first pull head 1 are interference-fitted to fix the first pull head 1 on the socket 3, thereby optimizing the user experience.
[0033] Implementation Method Two:
[0034] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the protrusion 8 is only provided on one side of the socket 3.
[0035] Implementation Method 3:
[0036] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that no protruding structure is provided on the tail end of the socket 3, and the thickness of the first end of the socket 3 corresponding to the stop block 7 is the maximum thickness b1. b1 and h1 satisfy the following relationship: h1+d>b1>h1, where 0.2mm>d>0.1mm. In the structure of this embodiment, the first pull head 1 is fixed mainly by the interference fit between the stop block 7 and the opening of the first pull head 1.
