- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to a slider for use on an elongate closure mechanism, and more particularly to a slider with laterally displaceable engagement members.
- 2. Description of the Background of the Invention
- Sliders for closure mechanisms having opposing interlocking closure mechanisms are known. In one instance, a slider for plastic film bags with a reclosable fastener includes an inverted U-shaped plastic member with two hinged sidewalls depending thereon. The slider further includes an opening end of the sidewalls spaced wider apart than a closing end of the sidewalls to allow separation of the reclosable fastener. The closing ends of the sidewalls are spaced sufficiently close together to press opposing male and female elements of the reclosable fastener together into an interlocking relationship as the slider is moved in a closing direction. The hinged sidewalls are located on opposite sides of a separator structure disposed between the male and female elements. The hinged sidewalls ride against the external surfaces of the reclosable fastener and press inwardly toward the sides of the separator structure thereby resisting movement of the slider in an opening direction.
- In another instance, a slider for a closure mechanism includes a transverse plastic member that defines a longitudinal channel and has a wedge-shaped separator finger depending from a top wall thereof. Opposing sidewalls are connected to the transverse plastic member at locations adjacent to a top wall of the transverse member with longitudinal hinges. After the transverse member is placed on a seal mechanism, the sidewalls are folded down and locked into place to hold the slider thereon.
- In one aspect of the invention, a slider for opening and closing longitudinally elongate opposing first and second closure members of a zipper includes a body with a first sidewall and a second sidewall defining a channel therebetween. The channel is adapted to operably receive the first and second closure members. A first side member is attached to the first sidewall at a first hinge, and a second side member is attached to the second sidewall at a second hinge. The first side member is laterally pivotable about the first hinge, and the second side member is laterally pivotable about the second hinge. A first engagement member is attached to the first side member and extends at least partly across the channel. A second engagement member is attached to the second side member and extends at least partly across the channel.
- In another aspect, a slider for occluding and de-occluding opposing elongate first and second closure members of a resealable closure mechanism includes a body that defines a channel for operably receiving the first and second closure members and an engagement member connected with the body. The engagement member is laterally displaceable with respect to the body. Further, the engagement member extends across at least one of the first and second closure members and engages at least one of the first and second closure members.
- In yet another aspect of the invention, a pouch includes a first pouch wall opposite a second pouch wall and a slider. A first closure profile is disposed on the first pouch wall, and a second closure profile is disposed on the second pouch wall. The first closure profile is longitudinally elongate, and the second closure profile is longitudinally elongate. The first closure profile engages the second closure profile. The slider is operatively disposed along the first closure profile and the second closure profile. The slider includes a body defining a longitudinal channel. The first and second closure profiles are disposed in the channel. The slider further includes an engagement member connected with the body. The engagement member is laterally displaceable with respect to the body. Further, the engagement member extends across at least one of the first and second closure profiles and is adapted to urge at least one of the first and second closure profiles in a lateral direction.
- Other aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description.
