Abstract
A pull including an attachment loop, a gripping loop, a loop connector connecting the attachment loop to the gripping loop. The pull is sized and configured to be attached to an object and enable a user to strongly grip the pull and place suitable forces on the object to move the object.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A pull comprising:
an attachment loop; a gripping loop; and a loop connector connecting the attachment loop to the gripping loop, the loop connector including a first joint connecting the attachment loop to the gripping loop and a second joint connecting the attachment loop to the gripping loop, wherein the first joint and the second joint are spaced apart and independently operable.
2 . The pull of claim 1 , wherein the attachment loop is sized to be attached to a bail of a slider of a zipper, and the gripping loop is sized to receive a finger of a user to enable the user to grip and exert force on the pull.
3 . The pull of claim 1 , wherein the attachment loop, the gripping loop, and the loop connector are monolithically formed.
4 . The pull of claim 1 , wherein the attachment loop includes a head, a first arm connected to and extending from a first end section of the head, and a second arm connected to and extending from a second end section of the head.
5 . The pull of claim 4 , wherein the head includes a cylindrical uniform solid curved member, the first arm includes a cylindrical uniform solid curved member, and the second arm includes a cylindrical uniform solid curved member.
6 . The pull of claim 1 , wherein the gripping loop includes a gripping seat, a first leg connected to and extending from a first end section of the gripping seat, and a second leg connected to and extending from a second end section of the gripping seat.
7 . The pull of claim 6 , wherein the gripping seat includes a curved body having a first end section, an intermediate section, and a second end section, and wherein the gripping seat has a height that narrows from the intermediate section of the gripping seat to the first end section of the gripping seat and from the intermediate section of the gripping seat to the second end section of the gripping seat, and wherein the gripping seat has a width that narrows from the intermediate section of the gripping seat to the first end section of the gripping seat and from the intermediate section of the gripping seat to the second end section of the gripping seat.
8 . The pull of claim 6 , wherein the gripping seat defines an opening.
9 . The pull of claim 8 , wherein the opening of the gripping seat is crescent shaped.
10 . The pull of claim 1 , wherein first joint of the loop connector connects a first arm of the attachment loop to a first leg of the gripping loop, and the second joint of the loop connector connects a second arm of the attachment loop to a second leg of the gripping loop.
11 . The pull of claim 1 , wherein the loop connector is formed with a connection web temporarily connecting the first joint to the second joint.
12 . The pull of claim 1 , wherein the first joint of the loop connector includes a member bent is a first direction, and the second joint includes a member bent is a second direction that is opposite the first direction.
13 . The pull of claim 1 , wherein the attachment loop has a partially circular shape and the gripping loop has a partially teardrop shape.
14 . A pull comprising:
an attachment loop having a partially circular shape; a gripping loop larger than the attachment loop and having a partially teardrop shape; and a loop connector connecting the attachment loop to the gripping loop.
15 . The pull of claim 14 , wherein the attachment loop is sized to be attached to a bail of a slider of a zipper and the gripping loop is sized to receive a finger of a user to enable the user to grip and exert force on the pull.
16 . The pull of claim 14 , wherein the attachment loop, the gripping loop, and the loop connector are monolithically formed of a rigid plastic material.
17 . The pull of claim 14 , wherein the attachment loop is formed from a first cylindrical solid uniform member.
18 . The pull of claim 17 , wherein the gripping loop is at least partially formed from a second cylindrical solid uniform member.
19 . The pull of claim 14 , wherein the loop connector includes a first joint and a second joint, and wherein the loop connector is formed with a connection web temporarily connecting the first joint to the second joint.
20 . A pull comprising:
an attachment loop including a head, a first arm connected to and extending from a first end section of the head, a second arm connected to and extending from a second end section of the head; a gripping loop including a gripping seat, a first leg connected to and extending from a first end section of the gripping seat, and a second leg connected to and extending from a second end section of the gripping seat; and a loop connector including a first joint connecting the first arm of the attachment loop to the first leg of the gripping loop, and a second joint connecting the second arm of the attachment loop to the second leg of the gripping loop, wherein the first joint and the second joint are spaced apart and independently operable, wherein the first joint of the loop connector includes a member bent is a first direction, and the second joint includes a member bent is a second direction that is opposite the first direction, wherein the attachment loop, the gripping loop, and the loop connector are monolithically formed from a rigid plastic material.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
