Abstract

There is provided a slider for a slide fastener. A cover member is attached to a body in a cantilever manner to cover a pillar portion and a lock member. An opening/closing member slidably formed between the cover member and the body is configured to open and close an insertion gap. The cover member has a first surface which is formed on the rear end portion of the cover member in substantially parallel to the body, and a second surface extending rearward and upward at a predetermined angle from a rear end portion of the first surface. The opening/closing member has a third surface which overlaps with the first surface in an upward and downward direction and is formed in substantially parallel to the first surface, and a fourth surface extending rearward and downward at a predetermined angle from a rear end portion of the third surface.

Claims (12)

1. A slider for a slide fastener comprising:

a body;

a lock member which is swingably supported by a pillar portion which is erected on an upper surface of the body;

a cover member which is attached to the body in a cantilever manner, with a front end portion thereof being fixed to the upper surface of the body, and covers the pillar portion and the lock member from above; and

an opening/closing member which is formed between a rear end portion of the cover member and the body, and is configured to open and close a gap into which a shaft portion of a pull-tab is inserted,

wherein the opening/closing member is provided so as to be slidable in a front-rear direction with respect to the body,

wherein the cover member has a first surface which is formed on the rear end portion of the cover member and is substantially parallel to the body, and a second surface extending rearward and upward at a first predetermined angle from a rear end portion of the first surface, and

wherein the opening/closing member has a third surface disposed under the first surface and formed substantially parallel to the first surface, and a fourth surface extending rearward and downward at a second predetermined angle from a rear end portion of the third surface,

wherein the cover member has a top plate, a right side plate extending downward from a right side edge of the top plate, a left side plate extending downward from a left side edge of the top plate, a front plate extending downward from a front end portion of the top plate, and a rear plate extending downward from a rear end portion of the top plate,

wherein the second surface is formed by a whole area of a lower end surface of the rear plate, and

wherein the first surface is formed on a lower end surface of the right side plate at a rear end side of the right side plate or on a lower end surface of the left side plate at a rear end side of the left side plate, and the first surface is not formed on the lower end surface of the rear plate.

2. The slider according to claim 1 , wherein the first predetermined angle of the second surface with respect to the first surface is set to be smaller than the second predetermined angle of the fourth surface with respect to the third surface.
