Abstract
A slider for a slide fastener includes a slider body () and two pullers () pivotally attached to the slider body (). The slider body () forms an upper wing (), a lower wing (), a connecting post () connecting the upper and lower wings, and side flanges (). The side flanges protrude from side edges of the upper and lower wings towards a geometrical mid-plane (P) that lies between the wings (), so as to form a Y-shaped channel () between the upper and lower wings. The upper wing () and the lower wing () have respective opposite outer surfaces () which are substantially flat, and are symmetrical with respect to the geometrical mid-plane (P). At least one locking protrusion () protrudes inwardly into the Y-shaped channel () from at least one of the side flanges () of the slider body ().
