ABSTRACT:
The disclosed device for manipulating zippers includes a handle, a prong for entry into the hole of a zipper's pull, or a hole in the slide of the zipper, if the pull is missing, and a spring for shifting the prong across a gap formed at one end of the handle, plus a manual actuator to retract the prong from the gap and thereby release the zipper's operator. One method of using the device includes affixing the prong of the zipper manipulator to the pull of a zipper that is attached to the rear of a garment, the garment being laid out or put-on back-to-front of the wearer, then moving the garment to its as-worn position with the zipper manipulator attached to it, operating the handle to close the zipper, and detaching the zipper manipulator from the zipper.
