Claims
- 1. A method of connecting a planar pull tab having at one end an axial hole extending in from a transverse recess with a slide fastener slider having a bridge with an opening therein, comprising the steps of:
- forming a piece of resilient wire into a closed planar loop with two straight wire end portions projecting outwardly from said loop, said wire end portions being parallel, juxtaposed in contact and overlying one another in a plane generally perpendicular to the plane of said loop,
- separating said end portions sufficiently to thread one end portion through said opening in the bridge of said slider to interlink said wire loop with said slider,
- inserting said juxtaposed wire end portions into said transverse recess of said pull tab with the plane of said wire end portions generally coinciding with the plane of said pull tab and with the plane of said loop generally perpendicular to the plane of said pull tab,
- turning said pull tab approximately 90.degree. about its longitudinal axis relative to said loop whereby said wire end portions are displaced relative to one another so as to be aligned with one another in the general plane of said loop,
- moving said pull tab and loop relatively toward one another to insert said wire end portions into said axial hole of said pull tab and bring an adjacent portion of said loop in said recess, and
- securing said wire loop to said pull tab.
- 2. A method according to claim 1, in which said wire loop is formed in generally rectangular shape with said wire end portions projecting medially from one end of said rectangle.
- 3. A method according to claim 1, in which said wire loop is secured to said pull tab by deforming toward one another portions of said pull tab on opposite sides of said transverse recess.
