Tab pull for fastener

Abstract

A tab pull is adapted to be installed on the slider, and includes: a gripping portion, which is configured in a sheet shape; a slider connection portion, which extends outward from a front end of the gripping portion and is adapted to pass through a tab pull installation portion of the slider; an engaged portion, which is located on one of the side surfaces of the gripping portion in a width direction; and an engagement portion, which is extending outward from an end portion of the slider connection portion. The engagement portion is fitted into the engaged portion along the side surface of the gripping portion, so that the slider connection portion is closed to form an annular shape.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A tab pull for a fastener, adapted to be installed on a slider, and comprising:
 a gripping portion, configured in a sheet shape;   a slider connection portion, extends outward from a front end of the gripping portion and adapted to pass through a tab pull installation portion of the slider;   an engaged portion, located on one of side surfaces of the gripping portion in a width direction; and   an engagement portion, extending outward from an end portion of the slider connection portion, wherein   the engagement portion is fitted into the engaged portion along the side surface of the gripping portion, so that the slider connection portion is closed to form an annular shape.   
     
     
         2 . The tab pull according to  claim 1 , wherein,
 the engaged portion comprises an extending recessed portion extending along the side surface of the gripping portion and an engagement recessed portion located at an extreme end of the extending recessed portion,   the engagement portion comprises an extension rod portion extending from the end portion of the slider connection portion along the side surface of the gripping portion, and an engagement protrusion located at an extreme end of the extension rod portion, wherein   the extension rod portion is fitted into the extending recessed portion along the side surface of the gripping portion, and the engagement protrusion is fitted into the engagement recessed portion, so that the engagement portion is fitted into the engaged portion.   
     
     
         3 . The tab pull according to  claim 2 , wherein,
 the extending recessed portion extends along the side surface of the gripping portion from the front end of the gripping portion to a rear end of the gripping portion, and the engagement recessed portion is located at the rear end of the gripping portion.   
     
     
         4 . The tab pull according to  claim 2 , wherein,
 an extending direction of the extending recessed portion intersects an extending direction of the engagement recessed portion, and   an extending direction of the extension rod portion intersects an extending direction of the engagement protrusion.   
     
     
         5 . The tab pull according to  claim 4 , wherein,
 the engaged portion further comprises a rotating recessed portion located at an extreme end of the engagement recessed portion,   the engagement portion further comprises a bent protruding portion located at an extreme end of the engagement protrusion,   an extending direction of the rotating recessed portion intersects the extending direction of the engagement recessed portion so that an extreme end of the engaged portion forms a hook shape,   an extending direction of the bent protruding portion intersects the extending direction of the engagement protrusion so that an extreme end of the engagement portion forms a hook shape, and   the bent protruding portion is fitted into the rotating recessed portion, so that the engagement portion is fitted into the engaged portion.   
     
     
         6 . The tab pull according to  claim 1 , wherein,
 the slider connection portion extends from a first side in the width direction to a second side opposite to the first side at the front end of the gripping portion, and   the engaged portion is located on a side surface of the gripping portion corresponding to the second side.   
     
     
         7 . The tab pull according to  claim 6 , wherein,
 a recessed portion is formed on an outer surface of the gripping portion close to the first side, and   when viewed from the front of the gripping portion, the recessed portion does not overlap with a region corresponding to the engaged portion on the gripping portion.   
     
     
         8 . The tab pull according to  claim 1 , wherein,
 the gripping portion, the slider connection portion, and the engagement portion are made of soft material.   
     
     
         9 . The tab pull according to  claim 1 , wherein,
 shape and dimensions of the engagement portion correspond to shape and dimensions of the engaged portion, so that the engagement portion fits into the engaged portion to form a tight fit.   
     
     
         10 . The tab pull according to  claim 1 , wherein,
 the gripping portion, the slider connection portion, the engagement portion, and the engaged portion are different portions of a single component formed integrally.
