  • Patent number: 11395529
    Abstract: A slider for slide fastener includes: a body including a pull tab attachment post; and a pull tab. The pull tab includes: a coupling member including an exposed portion and an embedded portion; and a pinching member including a first pinching portion including an annular end portion having an opening through which the embedded portion is to be inserted, and a second pinching portion provided to the first pinching portion with the embedded portion interposed therebetween. At least one of a front end surface and a rear end surface of the pull tab attachment post has a protrusion. And when the pull tab is tilted toward at least one of a front side and a rear side of the body, the protrusion locks the pull tab to restrict rotation of the pull tab.

  • Patent number: 11178940
    Abstract: A slider for a slide fastener useable with a slider with an automatic stop function to secure a tab to enable automatic engagement and prevent swinging of the tab, regardless of the type of tab, when the tab is tilted to an engaged portion side. An engaging portion is formed in an attachment hole of the tab. An engaged portion is formed in the slider body or the tab attachment part. When the tab is tilted to be almost parallel to an upper blade on the engaged portion side of the tab attachment part, due to a biasing force of the spring member, the lock pin moves the shaft portion of the tab downward and to an opposite side of a tilted direction, and a tip portion of the engaging portion of the tab is pulled into to be engaged with the engaged portion side of the tab attachment part.

  • Patent number: 10512312
    Abstract: A slider may include a slider body, a pull-tab attachment portion provided at the slider body, and a resin-made pull tab attached to the pull-tab attachment portion. The pull tab may include an axial portion and a pair of bars extending from respective ends of the axial portion. The pull-tab attachment portion may include a pair of claws that axially support the axial portion of the pull tab. Each claw may be held by and between the respective paired bars while the pull tab pivots. A width of a terminal end of each claw in an axial direction of the axial portion may be less than a width of a base end of each claw in the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 10178899
    Abstract: There is provided a slider for a slide fastener. The slider includes a body, a pull tab, a shaft member, and a coil spring. The pull tab has a base portion, a gripper and a claw portion protruding from the base portion. The shaft member is configured to rotatably support the pull tab relative to the body. The coil spring is attached around the shaft member to urge the gripper to be laid down toward the body. A claw guide portion allows a tip end of the claw portion to protrude into the guide groove. A restricting portion of the body restricts rotation of the pull tab when the pull tab is raised by a predetermined angle from the body. A restricted portion of the pull tab comes in contact with the restricting portion when the pull tab is raised by the predetermined angle from the body.
