Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technology in the field of fasteners, particularly to tab pulls for fasteners.
Background Art
[0002] A general fastener usually consists of a fastener chain comprising a pair of fastener stringers each made up of a strip-like fastener tape and a plurality of element columns disposed on the fastener tape, and a slider for fasteners attached to the fastener stringer and slidable to open and close the element columns. Further, a tab pull for fasteners can be installed on the slider for fasteners as required.
[0003] In the prior art, a tab pull for fasteners typically includes a slider connection part for attachment to the slider for fasteners and a knob part for the user to pinch with a finger to operate the tab pull for fasteners. Among these, a string can be used as the slider connection part of the tab pull for fasteners, and a knob part formed of a resin material is installed at the end of the string by injection molding. Thereby, the tab pull for fasteners is attached to the slider for fasteners by passing the string through the handle attachment part of the slider for fasteners, and the slide of the slider for fasteners can be driven by the knob part at the end of the string.
[0004] However, such a tab pull for fasteners needs to be manufactured using different materials (i.e., the string as the slider connection part and the resin material forming the knob part, etc.), leading to an increase in the required processes and manufacturing costs. Also, when improving the structure of the tab pull for fasteners to reduce the manufacturing process, it is necessary to further consider the structural strength and operability of the improved tab pull for fasteners.

[0007] In an embodiment of the present invention, the extended recess extends along the side surface of the knob from the front end to the rear end of the knob, and the fitting recess is located at the rear end of the knob.
[0008] In this embodiment of the present invention, the extension direction of the extension recess intersects with the extension direction of the fitting recess, and the extension direction of the extension rod portion intersects with the extension direction of the fitting projection.
[0009] In an embodiment of the present invention, the fitted portion further includes a rotating recess located at the end of the fitting recess, the fitted portion further includes a bent projection located at the end of the fitting projection, the extension direction of the rotating recess intersects with the extension direction of the fitting recess to form a hook shape at the end of the fitted portion, the extension direction of the bent projection intersects with the extension direction of the fitting projection to form a hook shape at the end of the fitted portion, and the bent projection fits into the rotating recess, and the fitted portion fits into the fitted portion.
[0010] In an embodiment of the present invention, the slider connecting portion extends from the first side in the width direction toward the second side opposite to the first side at the front end of the knob portion, and the fitted portion is located on the side corresponding to the second side of the knob portion.
[0011] In an embodiment of the present invention, a recess is formed in the portion of the outer surface of the knob that is adjacent to the first side, and the recess does not overlap with the region of the knob that corresponds to the fitted portion when viewed from the front of the knob.
[0012] In embodiments of the present invention, the knob portion, the slider connection portion, and the fitting portion are formed of a flexible material.

[0017] To make the above-mentioned features and advantages of the present invention clearer and easier to understand, embodiments will be described in detail below, accompanied by the drawings.
[0018] Here, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail, with examples of these exemplary embodiments shown in the drawings. Of these, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the zipper pull in the closed state according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 is a front view of the zipper pull shown in Figure 1 in the closed state; Figure 3 is a top view of the zipper pull shown in Figure 1 in the closed state; Figure 4 is a front view of the zipper pull shown in Figure 1 in the open state; Figure 5 is a perspective view of the process of attaching the zipper pull shown in Figure 1 to the zipper slider; Figure 6 is a perspective view of the zipper pull shown in Figure 5 after it has been attached to the zipper slider; and Figure 7 is a perspective view of a zipper pull according to one modification of the present invention after it has been attached to the zipper slider. In the following, Figures 1 to 7 will be used to describe the specific structure of the zipper pull 100 and its modified examples according to one embodiment of the present invention, as well as the means of attachment when applied to the zipper slider 50. However, the present invention is not limited thereto and can be adjusted as needed.
[0019] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, in the present embodiment, the fastener handle 100 is suitable for attachment to the fastener slider 50 and includes a knob portion 110, a slider connection portion 120, a fitting portion 130, and a mating portion 140. The knob portion 110 is formed in a sheet shape and allows the user to operate the fastener handle 100 by pinching it with a finger. The slider connection portion 120 extends outward from the front end E1 of the knob portion 110 and is suitable for passing through the handle attachment portion 52 of the fastener slider 50 (see FIGS. 5 and 6). The fitting portion 130 is located on one side surface 112 in the width direction W of the knob portion 110. The mating portion 140 extends outward from the end portion 120a of the slider connection portion 120, and the mating portion 140 fits into the fitting portion 130 along the side surface 112 of the knob portion 110 to close the slider connection portion 120 to form an annular shape.
[0020] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the knob portion 110 has, for example, a substantially elongated structure extending in the front-rear direction (i.e., the length direction L), but can be provided in a desired shape as required, and its dimensions (length, width, thickness) can be adjusted as required, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Correspondingly, the slider connection portion 120 has an elongated strip-shaped structure extending outward from the front end E1 of the knob portion 110, whereby it can pass through the mounting hole 52a on the handle attachment portion 52 of the fastener slider 50. Preferably, the dimension of the slider connection portion 120 in the width direction W is smaller than the dimension of the knob portion 110 in the width direction W. That is, with respect to the knob portion 110 formed in a sheet shape, the slider connection portion 120 is formed in a strip shape. Thus, the slider connection portion 120 can be bent without requiring an overly long length and can be easily wound around the side surface 112 of the knob portion 110 after passing through the handle attachment portion 52 of the fastener slider 50 to form an annular shape. However, as long as the slider connection portion 120 can pass through the handle attachment portion 52 for attachment, its dimensions (length, width, thickness) can be adjusted as required, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0021] In addition, in the present embodiment, the fitting portion 130 and the fitting part 140 are respectively installed on the knob portion 110 and the slider connection portion 120. Among these, the fitting portion 130 is, for example, a concave structure formed on the side surface 112 of the knob portion 110, and the fitting part 140 is, for example, a convex structure formed on the end portion 120a of the slider connection portion 120 opposite to the knob portion 110. That is, one end of the slider connection portion 120 is connected to the front end E1 of the knob portion 110, and the fitting part 140 is formed at the other end of the slider connection portion 120. Thereby, the slider connection portion 120 is connected to the side surface 112 of the knob portion 110 through the fitting of the fitting part 140 and the fitting portion 130, and the slider connection portion 120 can be closed to form an annular shape. Thus, when the fitting part 140 moves to the fitting portion 130 in the direction approaching the knob portion 110 (see FIGS. 1 and 2), the fastener handle 100 is in a closed state (the slider connection portion 120 is closed to form an annular shape), and when the fitting part 140 moves from the fitting portion 130 in the direction away from the knob portion 110 (see FIG. 4), the fastener handle 100 is in an open state.
[0022] As can be seen from this, when the zipper pull tab 100 is in the open position, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the fitting portion 140 formed on the end 120a of the slider connection portion 120 separates from the fitted portion 130, and as a result, the zipper pull tab 100 can pass through the mounting hole 52a of the pull tab mounting portion 52 of the zipper slider 50 together with the fitting portion 140 by the end 120a of the slider connection portion 120. After the slider connection portion 120 has passed through the pull tab mounting portion 52, as shown in Figure 6, the fitting portion 140 formed on the end 120a of the slider connection portion 120 fits into the fitted portion 130, and the slider connection portion 120 can be closed to form an annular shape. In this way, the zipper pull tab 100 can be manufactured using the same material and can be attached and fixed by the combination of its own structure (i.e., the fitted portion 130 and the fitting portion 140), and as a result, it can be easily attached to the zipper slider 50 by opening and closing. In particular, the fitting portion 140 fits into the fitted portion 130 along the side surface 112 of the knob portion 110, providing a good connection between the fitting portion 140 and the fitted portion 130, thereby preventing the zipper pull tab 100 from easily loosening during use when it is in the closed state. Therefore, the zipper pull tab 100 can reduce manufacturing costs by reducing the number of manufacturing steps, while also possessing sufficient structural strength and good operability.
[0023] As an example, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the fitted portion 130 includes an extendable recess 132 extending along the side surface 112 of the knob portion 110 and a fitting recess 134 located at the end of the extendable recess 132. Correspondingly, the fitted portion 140 includes an extendable rod portion 142 extending from the end 120a of the slider connection portion 120 along the side surface 112 of the knob portion 110 and a fitting projection 144 located at the end of the extendable rod portion 142. Of these, the extendable rod portion 142 fits into the extendable recess 132 along the side surface 112 of the knob portion 110, and the fitting projection 144 fits into the fitting recess 134, thereby fitting the fitted portion 140 into the fitted portion 130. Preferably, the extension recess 132 extends along the side surface 112 of the knob portion 110 from the front end E1 to the rear end E2 of the knob portion 110, and the fitting recess 134 is located at the rear end E2 of the knob portion 110. That is, the extension recess 132 is, for example, a long groove formed on the side surface 112 of the knob portion 110 and communicating with the front end E1 and the rear end E2, and the fitting recess 134 is a lateral notch at the end of the long groove. Correspondingly, the extension rod portion 142 is also installed as a long rod portion that extends from the front end E1 to the rear end E2 corresponding to the length of the extension recess 132, and the fitting projection 144 is a lateral projection at the end of the long rod portion. Furthermore, the extension direction of the extension recess 132 (approximately corresponding to the length direction L of the side surface 112 of the knob portion 110) intersects with the extension direction of the fitting recess 134 (approximately corresponding to the width direction W), forming a roughly L-shape, and the extension direction of the extension rod portion 142 intersects with the extension direction of the fitting projection 144, forming a roughly L-shape.
[0024] With the above configuration, in this embodiment, the extended recess 132 of the fitted portion 130 is formed on the side surface 112 of the knob portion 110, spanning the front end E1 and the rear end E2 in the front-rear direction (i.e., the length direction L), and is further open to the outside at the front end E1, the side surface 112, and the rear end E2. As a result, the extended rod portion 142 of the fitted portion 140 fits into the extended recess 132 of the fitted portion 130, which is formed on the side surface 112 of the knob portion 110, spanning the front end E1 and the rear end E2 in the front-rear direction (i.e., the length direction L). This increases the contact area between the fitted portion 140 and the fitted portion 130 that fit together, improving the structural strength of the fastener pull tab 100. In particular, during the process in which the fitting portion 140 moves toward the fitted portion 130 in a direction approaching the side surface 112, the extension rod portion 142 can enter the extension recess 132 from the open portion at the front end E1 of the extension recess 132, and the fitting projection 144 can enter the fitting recess 134 from the open portion at the rear end E2 of the extension recess 132 (i.e., the end of the extension recess 132), thereby allowing the fitting portion 140 to be easily fitted into the fitted portion 130. Furthermore, the fitting projection 144 of the fitting portion 140 is fitted into the fitting recess 134 of the fitted portion 130 along the width direction W, thereby allowing the fitting projection 144 to interfere with the inner wall surface of the fitting recess 134 in the front-rear direction (i.e., the length direction L). Therefore, when the zipper pull tab 100 is attached to the pull tab mounting portion 52 of the zipper slider 50, even if the user pinches the tab portion 110 of the zipper pull tab 100 with their fingers and operates the zipper pull tab 100 in the front-to-back direction (i.e., in the length direction L), the mating portion 140 will not easily detach from the mated portion 130. Thus, the zipper pull tab 100 in the closed state will not easily loosen during use and will have sufficient structural strength and good operability.
[0025] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fitted portion 130 further includes a rotating recess 136 located at the end of the fitting recess 134, and the fitted portion 140 further includes a bent projection 146 located at the end of the fitting projection 144. Of these, the extension direction of the rotating recess 136 (approximately corresponding to the length direction L) intersects with the extension direction of the fitting recess 134 (approximately corresponding to the width direction W), forming a hook shape at the end of the fitted portion 130. Correspondingly, the extension direction of the bent projection 146 intersects with the extension direction of the fitting projection 144, forming a hook shape at the end of the fitted portion 140. In this manner, when the extension rod portion 142 fits into the extension recess 132 along the side surface 112 of the knob portion 110, and the fitting projection 144 fits into the fitting recess 134, the bending projection 146 fits into the rotating recess 136, causing the fitting portion 140 to fit into the fitted portion 130. Preferably, the rotating recess 136 rotates and extends from the rear end E2 of the knob portion 110 toward the front end E1, and the bending projection 146 bends and extends from the end of the fitting projection 144 toward the front end E1. Thus, when the extension rod portion 142 moves in a direction approaching the side surface 112 of the gripping portion 110, the bending projection portion 146 passes through the projection wall 138 between the extension recess 132 and the rotation recess 136 (i.e., the inner wall of the fitting recess 134) and is inserted into the rotation recess 136 from the rear end E2 toward the front end E1, and the fitting projection 144 and the extension rod portion 142 are fitted into the fitting recess 134 and the extension recess 132 in order, and the fitting portion 140 is fitted into the fitted portion 130.
[0026] With the above setup, in this embodiment, the bent projection 146 of the fitting portion 140 is further fitted into the rotational recess 136 of the fitted portion 130 formed on the knob portion 110 along the front-rear direction (i.e., the length direction L), thereby increasing the contact area between the fitting portion 140 and the fitted portion 130 that are fitted to each other and creating interference, thereby improving the structural strength of the zipper pull tab 100. Also, when the zipper pull tab 100 is in the closed state, the fitting portion 140 forms an inverted hook shape and can hook into the projection wall 138 between the extension recess 132 and the rotational recess 136 (i.e., the inner wall of the fitting recess 134) by the notch between the extension rod portion 142 and the bent projection 146 (i.e., the inner wall of the fitting projection 144). Therefore, when the zipper pull tab 100 is attached to the pull tab mounting portion 52 of the zipper slider 50, even if the user pinches the tab portion 110 of the zipper pull tab 100 with their fingers and operates the zipper pull tab 100 in the front-to-back direction (i.e., in the length direction L), the fitting portion 140 will not easily detach from the fitted portion 130. Thus, the zipper pull tab 100 in the closed state will not easily loosen during use and will have sufficient structural strength and good operability. However, as long as the fitting portion 140 can be fitted to the fitted portion 130 along the side surface 112 of the tab portion 110, the present invention does not limit the specific structure of the fitted portion 130 and the fitting portion 140 and can be adjusted as needed.
[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 6, the slider connection portion 120 extends from the first side S1 in the width direction W at the front end E1 of the knob portion 110 toward the second side S2 opposite to the first side S1, and the fitted portion 130 is located on the side surface 112 corresponding to the second side S2 of the knob portion 110. That is, one end of the slider connection portion 120 is connected to the portion of the front end E1 of the knob portion 110 that is close to the first side S1, and the other end of the slider connection portion 120 is connected to the side surface 112 of the second side S2 of the knob portion 110 by fitting the fitted portion 140 formed at the end 120a of the slider connection portion 120 to the fitted portion 130 along the side surface 112, thereby closing the slider connection portion 120 to form an annular shape. With the above installation, the slider connection portion 120, which closes to form an annular shape, straddles the first side S1 and the second side S2 along the width direction W at the front end E1 of the knob portion 110, thereby improving the connection effect and structural strength of the slider connection portion 120, which closes to form an annular shape. Therefore, the zipper pull tab 100 in the closed state has sufficient structural strength. However, as long as the slider connection portion 120 can be attached to the pull tab mounting portion 52 of the zipper slider 50 and close to form an annular shape by fitting the fitting portion 140 and the fitted portion 130, the present invention does not restrict the specific structure and relative position of the slider connection portion 120, and can be adjusted as needed.
[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 6, the knob portion 110, the slider connection portion 120, and the fitting portion 140 are made of a flexible material, and the knob portion 110, the slider connection portion 120, the fitting portion 140, and the fitted portion 130 are different parts of a single integrally formed component. For example, a resin material that is deformable by compression (having flexibility or elasticity) can be selected and manufactured. In this way, the fastener pull tab 100 can be manufactured using the same material, reducing the number of manufacturing steps and lowering manufacturing costs (for example, manufacturing can be completed in a single injection molding process), and the fitting portion 140 can be easily fitted to the fitted portion 130 due to its material properties (deformable by compression). Preferably, the shape and dimensions of the fitting portion 140 correspond to the shape and dimensions of the mated portion 130 (for example, the dimensions of the fitting portion 140 are greater than or equal to the dimensions of the mated portion 130), and the fitting portion 140 is fitted onto the mated portion 130 to form a tight fit. That is, the fitting portion 140, which is slightly larger or approximately the same in dimensions, is fitted onto the mated portion 130 by extrusion based on its material properties, and the outer surface of the fitting portion 140 is brought into close contact with the inner surface of the mated portion 130. In this way, the fitting effect between the fitting portion 140 and the mated portion 130 can be improved.
[0029] Furthermore, as an example, if a flexible material such as resin is selected to manufacture the knob portion 110, the slider connection portion 120, and the fitting portion 140, a recess 114 is formed on the outer surface of the knob portion 110 in the area adjacent to the first side S1, as shown in Figures 1 to 4. In the viewing angle from the front of the knob portion 110 (i.e., the viewing angle in Figures 2 and 4), the recess 114 does not overlap with the area corresponding to the fitted portion 130 of the knob portion 110. With the above setup, as shown in Figure 3, a recessed portion 114 is formed on the first side S1 of the knob portion 110, and a fitted portion 130 is formed on the second side S2. The thickness of the region of the first side S1 of the knob portion 110 corresponding to the recessed portion 114 (i.e., the distance d1 in the thickness direction T between the opposing outer surfaces of the recessed portion 114) is approximately equal to the thickness of the region of the second side S2 corresponding to the fitted portion 130 (i.e., the distance d2 in the thickness direction T between the opposing outer surfaces of the knob portion 110 minus the distance d3 in the thickness direction T between the opposing inner walls of the fitted portion 130). In this way, in the process of manufacturing the fastener pull tab 100 by injection molding of resin material, surface recesses caused by the difference in thermal expansion and contraction rates due to the difference in thickness on the opposing sides of the knob portion 110 can be avoided, and as a result, the knob portion 110 of the fastener pull tab 100 has a beautiful appearance.
[0030] However, in the modified example shown in Figure 7, the zipper pull tab 100A has a similar structural arrangement to the zipper pull tab 100 described above, the main difference being that the recessed portion 114 formed on the outer surface of the knob portion 110 is not formed on the outer surface of the knob portion 110A. The specific structures of the remaining slider connection portion 120, the mating portion 130, and the mating portion 140 can be found in the description above and will not be repeated here. As can be seen from this, in this embodiment, in a method of manufacturing the zipper pull tab 100 by injection molding of a resin material, a recessed portion 114 is formed on the outer surface of the knob portion 110 to avoid the outer surface of the knob portion 110 becoming concave. However, when using a resin material, it is not necessary to form a recessed portion 114 on the outer surface of the knob portion 110. Alternatively, the zipper pull tab 100 may be manufactured using a material other than resin and / or a process other than injection molding. The present invention does not limit the presence or absence of the recessed portion 114, nor the material and manufacturing process of the fastener pull tab 100, and can be adjusted as needed.
[0031] In summary, in the zipper pull of the present invention, the slider connection portion extends outward from the front end of the knob portion, the fitted portion is located on one side in the width direction of the knob portion, the fitted portion extends outward from the end of the slider connection portion, the slider connection portion is suitable for passing through the pull attachment portion of the zipper slider, and the fitted portion fits into the fitted portion along the side of the knob portion, closing the slider connection portion to form an annular shape. Thus, the zipper pull can be manufactured using the same material and can be attached and fixed by the combination of its own structure (i.e., the fitted portion and the fitted portion), thereby allowing it to be easily attached to the slider by opening and closing. In particular, the fitted portion fits into the fitted portion along the side of the knob portion, providing a good connection effect between the fitted portion and the fitted portion, thereby preventing the zipper pull from easily loosening during use when it is in the closed state. Preferably, the extended recess of the mating portion extends along the side surface of the knob portion from the front end to the rear end of the knob portion, and the mating recess of the mating portion is located at the rear end of the extended recess. This increases the contact area between the mating portion and the mating portion that mat with each other, improving the structural strength of the zipper pull. Therefore, the zipper pull of the present invention can reduce manufacturing costs by reducing the number of manufacturing steps, and has sufficient structural strength and good operability.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are used solely to illustrate the technical concepts of the present invention and are not limiting. While the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that the technical concepts described in the above embodiments can still be modified or replaced with equivalents for some or all of the technical features. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical concepts to deviate from the scope of the technical concepts of the embodiments of the present invention.
