The closure device ( ) includes first and second interlocking fastening strips ( ) arranged to be interlocked over a predetermined length and a slider ( ) which slidably engages the first and second fastening strips. The fastening strips have a longitudinal X axis ( ), a transverse Y axis ( ) and a vertical Z axis ( ). The slider ( ) facilitates the occlusion of the fastening strips ( ) when moved towards a first end of the fastening strips and deocclusion of the fastening strips when moved towards a second end of the fastening strips. The fastening strips ( ) are occluded and deoccluded by moving the first fastening strip relative to the second fastening strip in substantially the vertical Z axis ( ). The fastening strips may also move in the Y axis ( ), rotate or deflect during occlusion. In addition, the fastening strips may include a locking feature ( ) to prevent unintentional deocclusion.
