Abstract
A zipper pull with a cover member, which has a simple structure and can be manufactured at a low cost, can realize a good and stable receiving and holding ability of a pull-tab over a long period of time, and also can prevent swinging between respective component parts, is provided. The cover member of the zipper pull is made of a soft material and has a shape so as to prevent the condition that the pull-tab substantially and directly contacts adjoining portions of an article in the immovable state at the first position. When a slider body and the pull-tub are received in a receptacle, at least the cover member and the slider body are supported and fixed with moving interruption means for interrupting a relative movement of the cover member and the slider body.
