Zipper
Abstract
A zipper includes a sound and light circuit arranged in a
pulling member body, and the sound and light circuit consists of a
switch, a battery, a speaker and a light-emitting member. With the
switch manually pressed, the sound and light circuit gives out
sound and light from the interior of the pulling member body. Thus
the pulling member body can be pulled up and down to joint or
separate two tracks of teeth of the zipper, and sound and light can
be heard and lit up if the sound and light circuit is turned on by
pressing the switch, so the pulling member can have the function of
sound warning and light brilliance during nighttime in addition to
the original function. Moreover, it the switch of the sound and
light circuit is the on-indicating switch of a mobile phone, the
sound and light can give a double sign of a call coming to the
mobile phone.

Claims
1. A zipper with a sound and light function comprising a sound and
light circuit provided in a pulling member body, said sound and
light circuit consisting of a switch, a battery, a speaker, and a
light emitting member; said pulling member body manually pulled up
and down for joining together or separating two tracks of teeth,
said switch of said sound and light circuit manually pressed to
turn on electricity of said sound and light circuit so that sound
may be given out and said light emitting member may be lit up to
shine out of said pulling member body.
2. The zipper as claimed in claim 1, wherein said switch is
manually handled.
3. The zipper as claimed in claim 1, wherein said switch is an
on-indicating switch of a mobile phone.
4. The zipper as claimed in claim 1, wherein said switch consists
of a manual switch and an on-indicating switch of a mobile
phone
5. The zipper as claimed in claim 1, wherein said pulling member
body has an elastic hook for hooking with a connector connected
with a sliding member of said zipper.
6. The zipper as claimed in claim 1, wherein said sliding member is
connected with said connector provided with a hole for said elastic
hook to hook with.
7. The zipper as claimed in claim 1, wherein said pulling member
body is transparent.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] This invention relates to a zipper, particularly to one
having a pulling member possible to give out sounds and light.
[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art
[0004] A conventional zipper generally has a pulling member for
manually pulling a sliding member to move up and down to join
together or separate two tracks of teeth (or spiral metal or
plastic coils). The pulling member of a conventional zipper only
serves nothing but a function being pulled manually.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] This invention has been devised to offer a zipper having a
pulling member for pulling a sliding member up and down and also
provided with a function of sound and light emitting.
[0006] The feature of the invention is a sound and light circuit
arranged in a pulling member body and consisting of a switch, a
battery, a speaker, and a light-emitting member. When the switch is
turned on, the sound and the light given out of the sound and light
circuit is heard and seen through the pulling member for indicating
a warning, and a brilliance appearance during nighttime, making the
zipper unique and queer, except the original function of pulled up
and down for joining and separating two tracks of teeth. In
addition, if the switch of the sound and light device is the switch
for a mobile phone, it can function to light up to show there is a
call to the mobile phone.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0007] This invention will be better understood by referring to the
accompanying drawings, wherein:
[0008] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a zipper in the present
invention;
[0009] FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the zipper in the
present invention;
[0010] FIG. 3 is a front view of the zipper in the present
invention;
[0011] FIG. 4 is a side view of the zipper in the present
invention;
[0012] FIG. 5 is a diagram of a sound and light device in the
zipper in the present invention; and,
[0013] FIG. 6 is a front view of the zipper in the invention,
showing the pulling member lit up with the light of a sound and
light circuit therein.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0014] A zipper in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3
and 4, includes a pulling member 10 having a pulling member body 11
made transparent, and an elastic hook 12, a sliding member 20, a
connector 30, and a sound and light circuit 40 consisting of a
switch 41 (possible to be a manual switch and connected with the
on-indicating switch 45 of a mobile phone) as shown in FIG. 5,
[0015] The sliding member 20 is movably combined with the two
tracks of teeth.
[0016] The connector 30 has a hole 31 for the sliding member 20 to
hook with, connecting the sliding member 20 with the pulling member
body 11.
[0017] When the switch 41 is manually pressed to turn on
electricity (or the mobile phone carried by a user receives a
signal and the switch 45 is turned on), the sound and light circuit
may start to function, making the speaker 43 sound out and the
light-emitting member lit up.
[0018] In this way, the pulling member body 11 can be slid up and
down manually to join together or separate the two tracks of teeth,
and also can be lit up or sounded out as shown in FIG. 6 by means
of the switch. Especially during nighttime, the pulling member may
appear very bright with the light lit up. In addition, if the
mobile phone receives a signal with the on-indicating switch 45
turned on, the pulling member body 11 is also lit up, indicating
the user that the cell phone gets a call.
[0019] Next, when clothes provided with this zipper is to be
washed, the pulling member body 11 has to be taken off the
connector 30 of the zipper in order to prevent the pulling member
body 11 from wetted, and then the elastic hook 12 is hooked with
the connector 30 again after washed and dried.
[0020] While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been
described above, it will be recognized and understood that various
medications may be made therein and the appended claims are
intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the
spirit and scope of the invention.
