Abstract
A pull attachment portion is provided on a slider body integrally and a pull connecting ring has attachment plates integrally. A slit is formed in a center of the pull connecting ring and the attachment plates and provided with engaging portions on both sides of the slit, and free end portions of the engaging portions are protruded from the attachment plates. A through hole is provided in a face of an accommodating portion provided in an end of a pull main body for accommodating the attachment plate so as to form a holding portion. After deforming the attachment plates elastically in vertical directions through the slit and passing one of them through the pull attachment portion, the attachment plates are accommodated in the accommodating portion and fixed therein. Replacement of the pull is carried out by pressing the engaging portions through the through hole and removing them.
