Title:
CLOSURE DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001094223
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The closure device (121) includes interlocking fastening strips (130, 131) and a slider (132) slidably disposed on the fastening strips (130, 131) for facilitating the occlusion and deocclusion of the fastening strips. The external surface of the slider is designed to alter the way in which the slider will be grasped by the user. By providing outwardly protruding surfaces (160, 162) on the side portions (142, 144) of the slider, the slider will be grasped near the front or back of the slider. Thus, the user experiences a feeling that the slider is easier to move along the fastening strips. In another embodiment, by providing a gripping surface (550) near the top portion (540) of the slider (532), the slider (532) will be grasped near the top portion of the slider (532). Thus, the slider (532) will be easier to move and the slider (532) reduces the tearing that may result when too much pressure is applied to the bottom portion of the slider during movement of the slider.
