Title: Zipper pull tab attachment for providing an enlarged gripping surface to a zipper pull tab

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/275,007, filed on 3 Nov. 2021, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. 
    
    
     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     Generally, the present disclosure relates to the field of zipper-type closure assemblies. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a zipper pull tab attachment for providing an enlarged gripping surface to a zipper pull tab. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The field of zipper-type closure assemblies is technologically important to several industries, business organizations, and/or individuals. 
     Typical zipper pull tabs are designed for operation using dexterity of the thumb and one or more fingers in order to “precision grip” the pull tab by pressing the intermediate and distal phalanges of a finger (or fingers) and the thumb against each other. Zipper pull tabs are usually too short, narrow, and/or thin to “power grip” by wrapping all fingers and possibly the palm of a hand around the pull tab. Toddlers and preschool children usually lack the fine motor skills needed to precision grip a pull tab securely. Additionally, older children or adults may lack the finger apparatus or sufficient dexterity, stability, or strength in their fingers to precision grip a pull tab. While some existing zipper pull tabs exist in the form of cords or rings attached to pull tabs to facilitate their operation, for those lacking the ability to precision grip, a larger and more rounded pull tab that can be comfortably gripped by wrapping several fingers and/or the palm of a hand around it would enable easier operation. 
     Therefore, there is a need for improved zipper pull tab attachment that may overcome one or more of the above-mentioned problems and/or limitations.
