A device for holding a position in a Sliding Sliding closure for threading through the same coupling elements of the closure intended to be coupled together

摘要

A device (10) for holding a slider (11) in position for threading onto a slide fastener chain (12) includes a housing (17A, 17B) having a support surface (19A, 19B) for supporting thereon a slider body (13) upside down, and a slit (23) receptive of a pull tab (15) hanging from the slider body (13). A lever (25) has a pair of juxtaposed first and second arms (29, 30) disposed one on each side of the slit (25), there being on the first arm (29) a locking projection (32) movable into and out of the slit (23). The lever (25) is pivotable in the housing (17A, 17B) between a slider-holding position and a slider-release position. The second arm (30) extends beyond the first arm (29) to such an extent that as the slider (11) is placed on the support surface (19A, 19B), the second arm (30) is pressed downwardly by a yoke (14) of the slider (11) to cause the lever (25) to be pivotally moved to the slider-holding position. When a pull is exerted on the slider (11) during the threading of the fastener chain (12) through the slider (11), the second arm (30) is brought into contact with the slider body (13), thus preventing the lever (25) from being pivotally moved to the slider-release position.
