[Embodiment] A slider i for a zipper according to one of the present invention is disclosed in the drawings. The moonpiece 1 is composed of a slider body 2 and a pull tab 9 pivotally connected to the slider body 2. The slider body 2 can be made of a single piece of metal by a molding process such as a chain alloy, a zinc alloy, or the like. In addition, the slider body 2 can be made of a thermoplastic material by an injection molding process, such as polyamide, polypropylene, placenta, polybutylene terephthalate, and an anti-wear strengthening material by an injection molding process. These thermoplastic materials. As shown in Figs. 2, 4 and 5, the slider body 2 is composed of a pair of upper and lower wing portions 3, 4^, which are connected to the guide center pillars 5 of the upper and lower wing portions 3, 4. The upper and lower wings 3, 4 are connected at their front ends to the guiding center pillar 5 and have a pair of upper and lower curved guiding flanges 6, which are mounted along their respective opposite side edges. And extending from the rear end up to about a middle portion thereof. The upper and lower curved guiding flanges 6 define a guiding groove 7 therebetween for guiding the fastening elements therethrough. I21209.doc 200819079 The slider body 2 further includes a protruding member 1'' extending upward from the upper wing portion 3, and a c-shaped tab seat 8 which is cantileveredly mounted on the upper surface of the protruding member 1''. As shown in Fig. 6, the tab holder 8 is adapted to permanently bend the upper wing portion 3 to facilitate the bonding and holding of one of the tabs referred to by reference numeral 9. The slider holder 8 is not limited to this configuration. The tab holder 8 can be any knot as long as it has a space sufficient to hold and hold the tab 9 therein. For example, a separate C-shaped cover or cover 8 can be molded into a pull tab holder. After a pull tab 9 is covered on the opposite recess formed in the side surface thereof, the c-shaped pull tab holder 8 can be adhered or fixed to the upper surface of the protruding member 1 . The pull tab 9 can be attached to the pull tab holder through a link member without being directly attached thereto. Further, as shown in US 5,915,632, a pair of leg members can be mounted as one of the tab seats on the upper surface of the projection to facilitate defining a u-shaped space therebetween. After the tab 9 or the - link member is disposed in the space, the leg members are flexed and plastically deformed to facilitate the securing of the tab directly or through the link member. In either of the above configurations, the tab is parked in a portion defined by the upper surface of the projection 10 and the tab holder 8. In particular, as shown in Figures 3 and 6, the projections 1 of the slider body 2 are generally along the longitudinal direction of the slider 1 or the slider! A sleek triangle that stretches in the direction of movement, as shown in the top view. More specifically, the ejection member 1 () is formed (4) to protrude in the vertical direction from the upper surface of the wing portion 3 above the slider main body 2. The protruding member (10) has a pair of longitudinal sides and tapers toward one end or rear end of the slider body 2 such that the longitudinal sides gradually approach each other. In this embodiment, the projecting members are tapered toward the rear end of the slider body 2. However, the protruding member 1 is not limited to this tapered shape. For example, it may taper toward the front end of the slider body 2. 12I209.doc 200819079 The protruding member 10 extends in the vertical direction between the upper wing portion 3 and the pull-tab seat 8, and preferably has longitudinal grooves U on its opposite longitudinal sides; preferably, the longitudinal grooves 11 can be formed A portion of a single channel that extends around the entire perimeter of the projection 10. Figures 6 and 7 disclose that a zipper SF includes a pair of longitudinal jaws 12, 12, such as a webbing, and each of the row of coupling members 13, 14 is mounted to its respective opposing rim, as is conventional in the art. This type of zipper SF can be used on a second abutment of the garment a, b (e.g., a crack in one of the pockets) to cover the upper surface of a zipper, although of course many other applications are possible. The longitudinal shackle 12 of the zipper SF is sewn to the lining of the garment as shown in Fig. 7, in such a manner that the opening is defined by the abutting portions a, B of the garment and is not in between, and by the pair of girders 2 The openings defined and disposed therebetween are substantially aligned with each other, which is a conventional technique. The sliders 1 shown in Figures 1-5 are alternately mounted to the stringer 12 to facilitate selective coupling and detachment of the coupling members 13, 13 of the longitudinal streets 12, 12. The opposite edge portions A, B of the garment are sewn to the longitudinal analysis, in such a manner as to reach the front side of the slider 1 on which the protruding member is formed, so that when the protruding member 1 is coupled to the garment abutment When the edges A and B are in between, the adjacent edges a and B are in contact with the longitudinal sides of the projections 1 . The zipper SF is attached to the garment such that the adjacent edges A, B are now lower than the upper surface of the large ejection member 10. As described above, the tab holder $ and the pull tab 9 extend upward from the upper surface of the projection member 1 , which is higher than the adjacent edge portions A, B of the garment so that the edges a, B of the garment are not It poses any obstacle to the operation of the slider 1. Further, the projections 10 are disposed on the opposite longitudinal sides, and the respective longitudinal grooves 11 are longitudinally extended along the adjacent edges A, B. 121209.doc 200819079 :. The bell edge portions A, B are guided to receive the longitudinal grooves _. Because / kidney pieces! It can smoothly reciprocate without hurting or damaging adjacent edges. Further, 'preferably as shown in Fig. 7,' the pull-tab holder 8 is located on the inner side of the opposite longitudinal side of the projecting member, and projects upward from the upper surface of the projecting member. This advantageously further prevents the tab holder (4) from interfering with the adjacent edge portions A and Β of the garment.
