What are the components of a zipper

The zipper is composed of chain teeth, pullers, limit codes (front and back codes), or locking components. The chain teeth are closed

The key part directly determines the side pull strength of the zipper. Generally, a zipper has two chain straps, each with a row of teeth arranged in a staggered manner. By gripping the chain teeth on both sides with the pull head and sliding with the help of the pull loop, the chain teeth on both sides can be engaged or disengaged from each other.

The detailed content of the zipper component is:

1. A flexible tape woven from cotton yarn, synthetic fibers, or mixed synthetic fibers, used to carry chain teeth and other zipper components;

2. The edge of the ribbed belt fabric is used to carry the reinforced part of the metal or plastic chain teeth;

3. Rib rope refers to a rope shaped object composed of multiple strands of fibers in the middle of a band;

4. Chain teeth refer to teeth made of metal, plastic, and other materials that have been processed to form a certain shape;

5. The filler core is made of multiple strands of fiber thread and is used as a rope like material for the production of nylon zipper chains;

6. Tooth chain refers to the continuous arrangement of teeth;

7. One side zipper chain is used to fix the tooth chain on the cloth belt and weigh the tooth chain;

8. The zipper chain is formed by meshing two toothed chains on both sides;

9. The top stop of the upper stop is fixed on the tooth chain belt, and the pull head slides out of the stopper of the tooth chain belt when the tooth chain is pulled in;

10. The bottom stop is fixed on the tooth chain belt, which limits the pulling head to slide out of the tooth chain belt when the tooth chain is pulled open and prevents the tooth chain belts on both sides from completely separating;

11. Back&forth head tape: The fabric tape on the zipper without chain teeth is called a head, with the top end being the front head and the bottom end being the back head;

12. Pins (also known as pins) are fixed at the tail end of the open zipper to completely separate the tubular parts of the chain belt;

13. The socket box retainer is fixed at the end of the open zipper to completely separate the square pieces of the chain strap;

14. Double pin tail stopper is a tubular stopper used in conjunction with a tube for double tail zippers;

15. Strengthened tape is a composite thin sheet used to enhance the bonding strength between the insertion tube, socket, and fabric tape, and improve the service life of the zipper;

16. The slider is a moving component that engages and retracts the chain teeth;

17. Puller is a component of the pull head, which can be designed to be connected to the pull head body in various geometric shapes or connected to the pull head body through a middleware to achieve zipper opening and closing;

18. The connector is the intermediate component that connects the pull head body and the pull tab.
Whether it's for clothing, accessories, or bags, zippers have become an essential part of our everyday lives. They not only offer convenience and ease of use, but also add aesthetic value to our garments and accessories. The continuous advancements in zipper technology have led to the creation of innovative designs that cater to various needs and preferences.
