TETHERED FASTENER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/192468
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A fastener (10) for securing together articles, such as pull-tabs (67) of a zipper (64), in an ergonomic single-handed manner includes a gate (13) arranged to slide in a channel (40) in a body (11) between a closed position, in which the gate closes the mouth (19) of a recess (18) in the body (11), and an open position, in which the mouth (19) is open. A fixture (14) at one end of the gate (13) is provided for connecting a tether (70). A latch member (12) prevents the gate from sliding from the closed position when in the locked position and is resiliently urged to the locked position and configured so that, in use, the latch member (12) is pressed and moved to the unlocked position when a user grasps the body (11) and, in the unlocked position with a tether (70) connected to the fixture, tension in the tether tends to slide the gate to the open position.
