ABSTRACT:
An improved device for connecting the ends of a separable zipper having opposed strings or rows of interlocking teeth or elements including specially adapted terminals which facilitate the engagement of the ends of the zipper and initial movement of a slider to fasten the zipper teeth. The terminals are engagable by being brought together in a direction substantially perpendicular to the zipper rows. Compared to the conventional pin-and-socket terminal arrangement wherein the pin must be threaded through one relatively small port of the slider and then into the socket, the terminals are relatively large and essentially self-aligning during engagement. Once engaged, the terminals are free to rotate relative to each other, thus permitting the opposed rows of zipper elements to self-align as the slider is urged forward to engage the rearmost ends of the zipper elements.
