a zipper,

a slider, as well as

a zipper pull tab, in which, in the closed position of the zipper, the zipper pull tab, is passed, at Least in part, through a closure piece configured or disposed on the article, and, in this connection, the slider is held positioned on the article in this closed position of the zipper,

wherein

the closure comprises a base part comprising a hollow profile, which base part is connected with the article, and wherein, at least in the closed position of the zipper, at least one plate is disposed in the region of the closure piece, which plate comprises an application element, wherein the plate is attached to the base part of the closure piece, wherein the application element is disposed on a support apparatus and the application element is held on the base part by the support apparatus, and wherein at least one of the application element and the support apparatus is held positioned on the base part in at least one direction oriented in the axial direction of the base part, by interacting first and engagement elements of an engagement apparatus.

2. The closure system according to claim 1 , wherein the plate is set onto the zipper pull tab of the zipper and held on the zipper pull tab by an engagement system.

3. The closure system according to claim 1 , wherein the plate further comprise a support plate, to which the application element is attached.

5. The closure system according to claim 1 , wherein the support apparatus comprises a base plate configured in disk shape, as well as at least one holding element connected with the base plate and extending in the perpendicular direction with reference to the base plate, and wherein the application element is held by the holding element.

6. The closure system according to claim 5 , wherein at least the second engagement element of the engagement apparatus is formed by an end of the holding element of the support apparatus facing away from the slider.

7. The closure system according to claim 1 , wherein at least the second engagement element of the engagement apparatus is disposed or configured on an inside surface of the base plate, which plate is configured in disk shape.

8. The closure system according to claim 1 , wherein the closure piece, in addition to the base part, which is formed by an eye, furthermore comprises a ring connected with the base part, and the base part together with the ring form a grommet.
