Abstract
A pull-tab connector for attaching a pull tab's round strap to a slider body is composed of a connector body and a connecting ring on one end of the connector body. The connector body has a transverse through-hole t a side toward the connecting ring, and a pair of longitudinal strap-insertion holes communicating with and perpendicularly to the transverse through-hole and opening to the other end of the connector body and to opposite sides of the connector body via a pair of inwardly tapering longitudinal inlet openings. The strap is inserted through the transverse through-hole and then forced into the longitudinal holes from the respective inlet openings, whereupon opposite ends of the strap are laterally aligned and then pulled to tighten the strap. Thus the strap can be threaded through the connector body simply and neatly, and the threaded strap can be exchanged with another as a demand arises.
