Description




FIELD OF THE INVENTION




The present invention relates to a zipper hand with puller fixed function, especially to a self-locking zipper hand which can fix the puller on a body thereof, and do not worry about the puller is raised up, so as to ensure the zipper hand to maintain the buckled state.




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




Referring now to

FIG. 1

, a zipper hand of the prior art includes a body


100


, a hook element


200


and a puller


300


, wherein the body


100


has two guiding grooves


101


, the two guiding grooves


101


can receive the zipper


400


, the hook element


200


is made of an elastic metal material and received in the body


100


, the hook element


200


has a hook portion


201


inserted into the guiding groove


101


of the body


100


, for buckling the hook element


200


on a chain of the zipper


400


and getting the buckled function; whereby, when the puller


300


do not move yet and in a buckled state, so as to form a self-locking zipper hand. The puller


300


is pivoted on a top of the body


100


, and the pivotal shaft


301


of the puller


300


is contacted with an inner edge of the hook element


200


, hence when the puller


300


is pulled up, it can be moved upwardly with the hook portion


201


of the hook element


200


and separated from the zipper


400


of the guiding groove


101


, to make the zipper hand can smoothly move on the zipper


400


for controlling the zipper


400


to be combined or separated.




However, even if the zipper hand of the prior art is in a buckled state, the puller still probably be raised up by itself and moved non-carefully, so as to cause the hook portion


201


be separated from the guiding groove


101


, and the zipper hand will be loosed and occur an unexpected move, so as to cause the separation of the zipper, especially to a zipper hand which installed on the shoe, it will generate more serious question due to above.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




The primary object of the present invention is to provides a zipper hand with puller fixed function, when the zipper hand is in a buckled state, the puller can be buckled and fixed on the body, and do not worry about the puller is raised up, so as to maintain the zipper hand in the buckled state, for avoiding the zipper hand being loosed and occurring an unexpected move.




In order to achieve the above objects, the present invention provides a zipper hand with puller fixed function including a body having two guiding grooves, a hook element disposed on the body, and the hook element having a hook portion at an end thereof and inserted into the guiding groove of the body, a connected element having one end connected to a top of the body and contacted with an inner edge of the hook element, a puller connected to the connected element; and a buckled means disposed between the body and the puller, for buckling and fixing the puller on the body.




The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing, in which:

of one end of the hook element


20


, a top of the body


10


is formed two protruding pivotal seat


15


for pivoting the connected element


30


and the puller


40


thereon.




The hook element


20


is made of an elastic metal material, one end of the hook element


20


has a fulcrum


21


, another end of the hook element


20


has a hook portion


22


, the fulcrum


21


of the hook element


20


received in the through hole


13


of the body


10


, and the hook portion


22


can insert into the guiding groove


11


of the body


10


and buckle on the chain of the zipper


60


.




The connected element


30


is made of a metal or a plastic material, one end of the connected element


30


has a pivotal shaft


31


pivoted on the two pivotal seats


15


of the top of the body


10


, so as to pivot the connected element


30


on the top of the body


10


, and the pivotal shaft


31


of the connected element


30


contacting with an inner edge of the hook element


20


, hence when the connected element


30


is pulled up, the hook portion


22


of the hook element

of the body


10


and buckled on the chain of the zipper


60


, to make the zipper hand do not move and get the buckled function, in another word when the puller


40


is in a stop state, the zipper hand is in a buckled state, what is call self-locking zipper hand. And when the puller


40


is pulled (shown as the FIG.


5


), the pivotal shaft


31


of the connected element


30


can contact the hook element.


20


to raise and move, for separating the hook portion


22


of the hook element


20


and the zipper


60


of the guiding groove


11


, to make the zipper hand can smooth move on the zipper


60


for controlling the zipper


60


be combined or separated.




The present invention provides the buckled means


50


between the body


10


and the puller


40


, when the puller


40


do not move yet, the zipper hand is in a buckled state for using the buckled means


50


to buckle and fix the puller


40


on the body


10


, so that the puller


40


disposed cover the hook element


20


and the connected element


30


, for buckling and fixing the puller


40


on the body


10


, and do not worry about the puller is raised up, so as to maintain the zipper in the buckled state, when the puller


40


or the connected element


30


is moved, the body


10


and the puller


40


will be separated.




Besides, referring now to
