Abstract: A zipper closure includes mating first and second profiles, which releasably interlock along a parting line along the side. A slider can be used to open and close the slider. The slider has a channel, which receives an ear on the second profile, and the ear rides through the ear-receiving channel to align engaging structure of the first and second profiles and roll them together into interlocked engagement. The slider has a splitter on a deflectable tab, which can be pressed into a notch on the zipper closure to initially separate the mating profiles, while moving the slider to direct the ear into an ear-receiving channel in the slider and deflect the ear to a side and pry open and separate the profiles.
