What Are The Different Types of Top Zippers?

Top stops are components attached to the top end of zippers. They are used to stop the zipper sliders from sliding off the chain.

Bottom stops are components attached to the bottom end of gold zipper. They are used to stop further movement of the zipper halves from separating.

For standard one way open end zippers, the bottom stop consists of an insertion box and pin. While for metal zipper two way, the bottom stop is composed of two pins (mobile pin & fixing pin). For standard two way close end zippers, there can be either double top stops or bottom stops, depending on the direction of the double zipper sliders installed. When the zipper sliders are attached in Head-To-Head relation, there will be 2 bottom stops. However, when the zipper sliders are attached in Bottom-To-Bottom relation, there will be 2 top stops.

At riri teeth zipper, both the top and bottom stops are available in multiple gauges and finishes, dependent upon the types of zippers as well as the intended applications. Although they serve the same basic function, irrespective of their varieties, some may feature special functions while others can only be paired up with certain types of zippers.

Below we will look at the commonly seen top and bottom stops used for UZIP Metal  Zippers.

Types of Zippers based on Functionality

Heavy duty zippers are always measured from "component to component" (end stops), regardless of  zipper style.

Close-end zippers are non-separating and are normally opened and closed with a slider.  The bottom stop is made up of a single part and doesn't allow complete separation of the  chain. These zippers are used on trousers, jeans, bags, boots, etc.

Open-end (separating) zippers have separated ends. The ending part is joined by a box  and pin mechanism provided on the lower end of the zipper. The zippers are closed using  sliders, and are normally used on jackets and other outerwear.

Two-way separating zippers have separated ends as well. The bottom slider allows  movement from the bottom of the zipper. These zippers are used in rainwear, sportswear and sleeping bag.

Two-Way head to head zippers have two sliders at the center of the chain when the  zippers are closed. Head to head zippers can be open-end by pulling the sliders towards the  stops, but cannot be separated because the ending parts have two stops that cannot be  divided. These zippers are mainly used for bags, backpacks and luggage.

Two-way tail to tail (back to back) zippers have sliders on opposite ends when the gold zipper  is closed. These zippers can be opened by pulling the sliders towards each other, but cannot  be separated. They are used for overalls and anything else.

Length Tolerance in Zippers : Generally zippers can vary when bulk is received due to various factors. Based on JIS-S3015 following tolerance is acceptable in zipper lengths.

How to Size Zippers

The riri teeth zipper we use in clothing today was invented by Whitcomb L. Judson in 1890. The zipper size is quite different from the zipper length. The length of the shiny silver zipper is measured in inches and centimeters by measuring the area of zipper teeth between the zipper top and zipper stop. Zippers come from the manufacturer in various sizes such from size 1 to 15 and beyond. But these sizes don't reflect the exact zipper dimensions. These numbers reflect industry standards for zipper strengths; the larger the number the stronger the zipper. The method for measuring zipper size is different, but still easy.

Instructions

1 Lay the zipper flat with teeth facing up.

2 Search on the zipper slider for a number or letter, such as 10, for example. The inscription #10 means the zipper is 10 mm, while #5 means the zipper is 5 mm.

3 Measure the length from the metal at the top of the zipper to the metal at the bottom of the zipper. Use this same method for all types of zippers. Don't include any extra zipper tape in your measurement.

Anti-slide zipper locks

Some heavy duty zippers include a designed ability for the slider to hold in a steady open or closed position, resisting forces that would try to move the slider and open the zipper unexpectedly. There are two commons ways this is accomplished:

The gold zipper handle can have a short protruding pin stamped into it, which inserts between the zipper teeth through a hole on the slider, when the handle is folded down flat against the zipper teeth. This appears on some brands of pants. The handle of the fly zipper is folded flat against the teeth when it is not in use, and the handle is held down by both slider hinge tension and the fabric flap over the fly.

The slider can also have a two-piece hinge assembly attaching the handle to the slider, with the base of the hinge under spring tension and with protruding pins on the bottom that insert between the zipper teeth. To move the zipper, the handle is pulled outward against spring tension, lifting the pins out from between the teeth as the slider moves. When the handle is released the pins automatically engage between the zipper teeth again.

A three-piece version of the above uses a tiny pivoting arm held under tension inside the hinge. Pulling on the handle from any direction lifts the pivoting arm's pins out of the zipper teeth so that the slider can move.

What is slide fastener

The gold zipper comprises elements, and a slider, the slide fastener opening and closing a horizontal opening or closing portion and a vertical opening or closing portion with one operation by sliding the slider along the elements. The gold metal zipper includes a horizontal functional section and a vertical functional section. The horizontal functional section includes element heads which are meshed with and unmeshed from each other, and horizontal fastener tapes. The vertical functional section includes element legs extending vertically to the horizontal direction and bending into a hook-like shape, holding portions which are formed by distal ends of the element legs, and a vertical fastener tape.
