Dual Closed-Ended Zippers Mechanism Reusable Fastener

Abstract

A reusable fastener that secures the zippers of a dual closed-ended zippers mechanism in the mechanism's closing position. The reusable fastener secures products that are dependent on the dual closed-ended zippers mechanism for actions of opening and closing from being unintentionally opened. While able to secure zippers of the dual closed-ended zippers mechanism in the closing position, the reusable fastener can also be easily detached. Additionally, the detachment process will not destroy the reusable fastener, enabling the reusable fastener to be reused. Furthermore, since no personally-tailored knowledge or lock-and-key is necessary to detach the reusable fastener, public and safety officials can securely reattach the reusable fastener to the zippers after inspections. The reusable fastener contains a plate that will make the reusable fastener easily identifiable. These advantages of the reusable fastener will provide users of products containing the dual closed-ended zippers mechanism a peace of mind.

What the invention claimed is: 
     
         1 . A dual closed-ended zippers mechanism reusable fastener, comprising:
 A rectangular plate with a top surface and a bottom surface, first and second lateral sides, and first and second longitudinal sides;   the said rectangular plate further having a cavity extending from the bottom surface to the top surface of the plate, and defining therein an opening at each of the top and bottom surfaces;   a cord having a first end and a free end opposite the first end, said first end coupled to one of the said lateral or longitudinal sides of the said rectangular plate;   the said cavity having a cross-section, parallel to said top surface and said bottom surface, larger than the cross-section, parallel to said cord's width, of said cord;   an aglet attached to said free end of the said cord.   
     
     
         2 . A dual closed-ended zippers mechanism reusable fastener, comprising:
 A circular plate with a top surface and a bottom surface and peripheral side;   the said circular plate further having a cavity extending from the bottom surface to the top surface of the plate, and defining therein an opening at each of the top and bottom surfaces;   a cord having a first end and a free end opposite the first end, said first end coupled to said peripheral side of the said circular plate;   the said cavity having a cross-section, parallel to said top surface and said bottom surface, larger than the cross-section, parallel to said cord's width, of said cord;   an aglet attached to said free end of the said cord.
