Abstract
A slide zipper assembly comprising a reclosable zipper and a slider is provided. The zipper includes a first profile interlockable with a second profile. The profiles include portions which form a fulcrum about which the profiles may be pivoted to disengage the profiles. The slider straddles the zipper and has a top from which two arms depend. The inner surface of one or both of the slider arms is shaped so that as the slider is moved along the zipper in an opening direction, one or both of the profiles is pivoted about the fulcrum so as to disengage the profiles.
