Cap structure for zipper

Abstract

A cap structure for a zipper includes a cap and a resilient tab. The cap has a containing groove formed on the bottom surface thereof. At least one lug is disposed on the bottom surface of the containing groove. The bottom of the concave portion is lower than the top of the lug. Two sides of the cap each have a side wall. Each of the side walls has a recess opening that communicates with the containing groove. The resilient tap is disposed within the containing groove and the resilient tap abuts against the limiting portions. One end of the resilient tap has an aperture that corresponds to the lug. Therefore, the resilient tap and cap are combined to form the cap structure. Because the space for the resilient tap to bend is bigger, the force for pulling the slide of the zipper is smaller.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a cap structure for a zipper and in particular to a cap structure assembled on the slide of the zipper and having a resilient tap installed within the cap structure.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]In general, a slide of a zipper is locked on interlocking teeth of a zipper tape (not shown in the figure). The slide of the zipper structure includes a zipper slide, a pull tab, a hook, a resilient tap, and a cap. The top of the slide of the zipper has two holding bases. A hole of the pull tab is looped around one of the holding bases of the zipper slide. The hook is disposed movably inside of the zipper slide. The resilient tap is disposed on the slide of the zipper and attached to the top of the hook. Furthermore, the cap is covered on the pull tab to lock the resilient tap inside the cap. The top of the pull to passes through a concave portion of the cap.[0005]When a user wants to ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007]It is an object of the present invention to provide a cap structure for a zipper. The cap and the resilient tap are combined previously for assembling the slide of the zipper easier. The resilient tap has an aperture, and the cap has a concave. Therefore, the resilience of the resilient tap is increased, the resilient tap has more space to allow for bending, and the force required to pull the slide of the zipper is less.

[0009]The present invention has a number of advantages, which are described below. The resilient tap is assembled inside the cap to form a cap structure. Therefore, the cap structure is assembled to the slide of the zipper to complete the assembly of the zipper slide. The assembly of the slide of the zipper is easier. Moreover, a user only needs to pull the pull tab with a small force to move the zipper slide.

Problems solved by technology

However, when a manufacturer has to assemble the resilient tap with the zipper slide, and then cover the cap on the slide of the zipper to assemble the zipper slide.

The assembly of the slide of the zipper is complex and inconvenient.

Moreover, a user must use a large force to pull the pull tab to bend the resilient tab.

The pulling of the pull tab is difficult.
