  • Slider for a slide fastener
    Patent number: 4615082
    Abstract: The slider of the slide fastener comprises a slider body, a locking member which is held on the one hand by a locking portion on the slider body and on the other hand is provided with teeth. A slot provided in the locking portion forms a joint section allowing a pivoting of the locking member and a moving of the teeth into a disengagement with the slide fastener.The teeth comprise a viewed in closing direction rear inclined flank, by means of which a brake action is generated in place of a locking action if the already separated slide fastener strips are pulled laterally away from each other such that the slide fastener can be opened even in case of a missing drawing flap.
