ABSTRACT:
An attachment for the pull tab of a slide fastener for enhancing manipulation of the slider and for serving as an ornamental and identifying element generally comprises a clip of very hard and stiff, yet resilient, material, such as spring steel, molded into a body of soft, tactile, elastomeric material. A channel leading to the clip in the body receives the pull tab. The elastic side walls of the channel expand to accommodate pull tabs of varying sizes and stabilize the attachment on the tab. The clip has a locking tongue which projects into the channel in a direction away from the channel entrance and terminates in an engaging end for engaging and locking the tab in the channel. The engaging end is curved such that considerable pressure is exerted by its point onto the tab surface. Body material directly overlies the tongue such that deflection of the tongue also compresses and deflects the body material.
