Abstract

The utility model relates to the technical field of zippers, and particularly to a retractable zipper with a Y-shaped tape. The aesthetics of an existing zipper is affected after a stitching line is deflected. A retractable zipper with a Y-shaped tape comprises a main body, wherein the main body comprises a first tape, a second tape and a third tape; a first zipper structure and a second zipper structure are arranged between the first tape and the second tape and between the third tape and the second tape, respectively; sides of the first tape and the third tape away from the second tape are provided with a Y-shaped tape structure, respectively; each Y-shaped tape structure comprises an upper tape and a lower tape, and a stitching gap is formed between the upper tape and the lower tape. The upper tape is turned over, the lower tape is pierced by a needle to stitch and fix the zipper and the case shell together, and when stitching is completed, the upper tape is put back to cover a stitching line, so that the aesthetics of a product will not be affected even if the stitching line is deflected. The utility model has a good development prospect.
