Abstract:
A slider for opening or closing a rigid, elongate reclosable fastener lying in a two dimensional plane defining orthogonal X and Y directions, comprising:a base having a first surface; a first elongate member having an internal surface, a proximal end depending from the first surface of the base and a distal end; a second elongate member spaced apart from the first elongate member, the second elongate member having an internal surface, a proximal end depending from the first surface of the base and a distal end; a pivot depending from the internal surface of the first elongate member at the distal end thereof and projecting towards the second elongate member; and a tracking member depending from the internal surface of the second elongate member at the distal end thereof and projecting toward the first member, the slider further comprising a width running parallel to the first and second elongate members and a length running orthogonal to the first and second elongate members, wherein the pivot is spaced apart from the tracking member along the width.
