Abstract
A container () includes a closure device (). The closure device includes interlocking fastening strips () and a slider () slidably disposed on the fastening strips for facilitating the occlusion and deocclusion of the fastening strips. The slider includes first and second side portions () and a top portion (). The first side portion () includes pivot arms (). The pivot arms () include shoulders (). The second side portion () includes pivot arms (). The pivot arms () include shoulders (). The pivot arms () create a pivot point for the shoulders () that prevents the slider () from being removed from the fastening strips in the vertical Z axis (). The shoulders move into the fastening strips when an upward force () is applied in the Z axis (). The shoulders () also pivot outward when the slider () is being attached to the fastening strips (), making it easier to attach the slider.
