Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The instant disclosure relates to a zipper structure; in
particular, to a multilayer anti-theft zipper structure.
[0003] 2. Description of Related Art
[0004] Typical bags such as backpacks, hang carry bags, suitcases,
etc. can provide a convenient way to carry various items outdoors.
However, an interested party may pull on sliders on a bag zipper,
open up the zipper tape, and retrieve personal properties of the
user when the user is not aware or in a crowded environment, thus
leading to the user's personal loss.
[0005] To address the above issues, the inventor strives via
associated experience and research to present the instant
disclosure, which can effectively improve the limitation described
above.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The objective of the instant disclosure is to provide a
multilayer anti-theft zipper structure that prevents an interested
party from easily pulling on sliders on a bag zipper, opening up
the zipper tape, and retrieving personal properties of the user
when the user is not aware or in a crowded environment.
[0007] In order to achieve the aforementioned objectives, according
to an embodiment of the instant disclosure, a multilayer anti-theft
zipper structure arranged on a peripheral portion of a bag opening
is provided. The multilayer anti-theft zipper structure includes a
first layer zipper set and a second layer zipper set. The first
layer zipper set includes a first layer zipper head and a first
layer tape. The first layer zipper head is slidably arranged on the
first layer tape. Moreover, the second layer zipper set includes a
second layer zipper head and a second layer tape. The second layer
zipper head is slidably arranged on the second layer tape. The
first layer zipper set and the second layer zipper set are arranged
in a staggered configuration.
[0008] In summary, the multilayer anti-theft zipper structure in
accordance with the embodiments of the instant disclosure prevents
an interested party from conveniently reaching into the bag opening
of a bag and retrieving items therefrom when the first layer zipper
head opens the first layer tape through the design of at least two
layers of zipper sets. Moreover, with the design of the staggered
first and second layer zipper sets, theft can be prevented by
hindering any interested party from simultaneously opening the
first and the second tapes within a short time or when the user of
the bag is unaware since the interested party has to pull on the
first layer zipper head to open up the first layer tape,
subsequently pull the second layer zipper head to open the second
layer tape, and successively reveal the bag opening
[0009] In order to further understand the instant disclosure, the
following embodiments and illustrations are provided. However, the

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0020] The aforementioned illustrations and detailed descriptions
are exemplarities for the purpose of further explaining the scope
of the instant disclosure. Other objectives and advantages related
to the instant disclosure will be illustrated in the subsequent
descriptions and appended drawings.
[0021] Please refer to FIG. 1 as a first embodiment of the instant
disclosure. The instant embodiment is a multilayer anti-theft
zipper structure. Specifically, a multilayer anti-theft zipper
structure arranges on a peripheral portion of a bag opening. As
shown in FIG. 1, the multilayer anti-theft zipper structure
includes a first layer zipper set 1 and the second layer zipper set
2.
[0022] The first layer zipper set 1 includes a first layer zipper
head 11 and a first layer tape 12. The first layer zipper head 11
can be slidably arranged on the first layer tape 12, so that the
first layer tape 12 can be pulled open or closed. The second layer
zipper set 2 includes a second layer zipper head 21 and a second
layer tape 22. The second layer zipper head 21 can be slidably
arranged on the second layer tape 22, so that the second layer tape
22 can be pulled open or closed. When the first layer tape 12 and
the second layer tape 22 are opened, the bag opening 100 is
revealed, so that users' hand can reach through the bag opening 100
to retrieve items from the bag. In other words, the bag opening 100
is not revealed when only the first layer zipper head 11 is pulled
on to open up the first layer tape 12. Moreover, the first and the
second layer zipper sets 1, 2 are arranged in a vertically
staggered configuration in the instant embodiment. Thus, when the
first layer zipper head 11 is pulled on to open up the first layer
tape 12, the staggered second layer zipper head 21 is exposed, and
the second layer zipper head 21 needs to be pulled on to open up
the second layer tape 22 and subsequently reveals the bag opening
100. Notably, the first and the second layer zipper heads 11, 21
can each include at least one pull tab, slider, teeth, and sliding
grooves. The first layer tape 12 and the second layer tape 22 can
each include two elongated zipper chains. Each chain has teeth
arranged thereon that correspondingly engage with the teeth on the
other chain. Pull tab, slider, teeth, sliding grooves, and chains
are typical structures of a zipper head in the art, thus are not
further disclosed herein.
[0023] In the instant embodiment, each of the first and second
layer zipper heads 11, 21 is a single zipper head. The first layer
zipper head 11 can slide to the left such that the first layer
zipper tape 12 is opened up. The second layer zipper head 21 can
slide to the right such that the second layer zipper tape 22 can be
opened up. In other words, the first and the second layer zipper
heads 11, 21 can slide in opposite directions such that the first
and the second layer zipper tapes 12, 22 can be opened up in
succession. However, in another embodiment, the first and the
second layer zipper heads 11, 21 can also slide in the same
directions such that the first and the second layer zipper tapes
12, 22 can be opened up in succession.
[0024] Please refer to FIG. 2 as another embodiment of the instant
disclosure. The multilayer anti-theft zipper structure of the
instant embodiment is substantially the same as the previous
embodiment except that each of the first layer zipper head 11 and
the second layer zipper head 21 is a double zipper head. In other
words, the first layer zipper head 11 includes a left zipper head
111 and the right zipper head 112. Similarly the second layer
zipper head 21 includes a left zipper head 211 and the right zipper
head 212. The left zipper head 111 and the right zipper head 112 of
the first layer zipper head 11 can relatively slide in opposite
directions in order to open up the first layer zipper tape 12.
Moreover, the second layer zipper head 22 can be pulled together,
in which the left zipper head 211 and the right zipper head 212 of
the second layer zipper head 21 can relatively slide in opposite
directions in order to open up the second layer tape 22.
[0025] Please refer to FIG. 3 as another embodiment of the instant
disclosure. The multilayer anti-theft zipper structure of the
instant embodiment is substantially the same as the previous
embodiment except that the first layer zipper head 11 is a double
zipper head, whereas the second layer zipper head 21 is a single
zipper head. The first layer zipper head 11 includes a left zipper
head 111 and a right zipper head 112. The left zipper head 111 and
the right zipper head 112 of the first layer zipper head 11 can
relatively slide in opposite directions to open up the first layer
tape 12. Moreover, the second layer tape 22 can be pulled together,
in which the second layer zipper head 21 can slide in only one
direction to open up the second layer tape 22. However, in another
embodiment, the first layer zipper head 11 can be a single zipper
head, whereas the second layer zipper head 21 can be a double
zipper head.
[0026] Please refer to FIGS. 4 and 5 as another embodiment of the
instant disclosure. The multilayer anti-theft zipper structure of
the instant embodiment is substantially the same as the previous
embodiment except that multilayer anti-theft zipper structure of
the instant embodiment further includes a third layer zipper set 3.
The third layer zipper set 3 includes a third layer zipper head 31
and a third layer tape 32. The third layer zipper head 31 can be
slidably arranged on the third layer tape 32. In the instant
embodiment, the third layer zipper head 31 is a single zipper head
(as shown in FIG. 4). Moreover, the second layer zipper set 2 and
the third layer zipper set 3 are arranged in a vertically staggered
configuration in the instant embodiment (as shown in FIG. 5). In
other words, the first layer zipper set 1 and the second layer
zipper set 2 are vertically staggered, while the second layer
zipper set 2 and the third layer zipper set 3 are vertically
staggered. Specifically, the first layer zipper set 1, the second
layer zipper set 2, and the third layer zipper set 3 are vertically
staggered.
[0027] Please refer to FIGS. 6 and 7 as another embodiment of the
instant disclosure. The multilayer anti-theft zipper structure of
the instant embodiment includes a third layer zipper set 3. The
third layer zipper set 3 includes a third layer zipper head 31 and
a third layer tape 32 and is substantially the same as the previous
embodiment except the third layer zipper head 31 is a double zipper
head which includes a left zipper head 311 and a right zipper head
312 (as shown in FIG. 6). Moreover, the second layer zipper set 2
and the third layer zipper set 3 are arranged in a vertically
staggered configuration in the instant embodiment. In other words,
the first layer zipper set 1 and the second layer zipper set 2 are
vertically staggered, while the second layer zipper set 2 and the
third layer zipper set 3 are vertically staggered, but the first
layer zipper set 1 and the third layer zipper set 3 are vertically
aligned (as shown in FIG. 7). Furthermore, the multilayer
anti-theft zipper structure of the instant embodiment can also
include more than the three aforementioned layer zipper sets, and
is not limited to the examples provided herein.
[0028] Please refer to FIGS. 8 to 10 as another embodiment of the
instant disclosure. The multilayer anti-theft zipper structure of
the instant embodiment is arranged at a peripheral portion of a bag
opening to demonstrate the closed bag opening. As shown in FIG. 8,
the bag can be a backpack. As shown in FIG. 9, the bag can be a
hand carry bag. As shown in FIG. 10, the bag can be a suitcase.
Notably, the bag is not limited to the examples provided herein as
long as the bag can retain items therein.
[0029] In summary, the multilayer anti-theft zipper structure in
accordance with the embodiments of the instant disclosure prevent
an interested party from conveniently reaching into the bag opening
of a bag and retrieving items therefrom when the first layer zipper
head opens the first layer tape through the design of at least two
layers of zipper sets. Moreover, with the design of the staggered
first and second layer zipper sets, theft can be prevented by
hindering any interested party from simultaneously opening the
first and the second tapes within a short period of time or when
the user of the bag is unaware since the interested party has to
pull on the first layer zipper head to open up the first layer
tape, subsequently pull on the second layer zipper head to open the
second layer tape, and successively reveal the bag opening.
[0030] The figures and descriptions supra set forth illustrate the
preferred embodiments of the instant disclosure; however, the
characteristics of the instant disclosure are by no means
restricted thereto. All changes, alterations, combinations or
modifications conveniently considered by those skilled in the art
are deemed to be encompassed within the scope of the instant
