Abstract
The invention provides a monitor device for monitoring the state of a zip closure system comprising an electrically conductive slider (), a first tape (), and a second tape (), each provided with a series of members (), such as teeth or spiral turns, that can be coupled and uncoupled with the series of corresponding members () by moving said slider. Two strips () of electrically conductive material, referred to as conductive strips, that are secured to the first tape () and that are arranged transversely, preferably perpendicularly, relative to the longitudinal axis of the first tape (). Said strips () and the slider () are configured in such a manner that the two strips () are electrically connected together by the slider () when said slider () is moved level with said strips (). Said device further comprises a detector system () configured to detect the state of electrical continuity between the two strips ().
