What is a zipper slider?

The zipper slider is an important part of the zipper. It is a flat part usually made of metal or plastic. The zipper slider is installed in the center of the zipper, and the zipper is opened or closed by pushing and pulling the slider.

Structure and function of the zipper slider

The zipper slider usually includes the following parts:

Cap: fixed on the upper wing plate of the slider body.

Self-locking element: placed on the upper wing plate of the slider body, usually including a hook, a pivot and a pressing part.

Elastic element: one end is fixed between the slider body and the cap, and the other end elastically presses the self-locking element.

Slider body: including the upper wing plate, guide column, etc. The self-locking element is pivotally connected to the cap through the pivot, and the slider body is provided with a through hole for the pressing part, so that the pressing part is connected to the outside world.

Working principle of zipper slider

The working principle of the zipper slider is to control the opening and closing of the zipper by pushing and pulling the slider. When the slider is pushed to one end of the zipper, the hook of the self-locking element will be inserted into the through hole of the slider body, thereby locking the zipper. When you need to open the zipper, just pull the slider to the other end, and the hook of the self-locking element will move out of the through hole, allowing the zipper to slide.
