    摘要: A pair of pants including a fly that can be opened and closed via a bi-directional zipper that extends from a top end proximal to an upper terminus of the pants to a bottom end at the crotch point of the pants. The zipper includes a top slider and a bottom slider that travel on a common set of zipper teeth. The top slider separates the zipper teeth when moved in a direction away from the top end toward the bottom end and closes the zipper teeth when moved in the opposite direction. The bottom slider separates the zipper teeth when moved in a direction toward the top end and away from the bottom end and closes the zipper teeth when moved in the opposite direction. The pants allow a wearer to excrete urine while in a sitting position, particularly such as when the wearer is operating an aircraft.

    摘要: A convenient and quick-release textile, a quick-release slide fastener being provided on the textile includes: a tooth easy-release region being provided on the teeth of the quick-release slide fastener. A pulling member is provided beside the tooth easy-release region. Quick positioners having a mutual positioning function are further provided on both the textile and the pulling member correspondingly. The quick positioner provided on the textile and the quick positioner provided on the pulling member are located on a same side of the quick-release slide fastener, or separately on two sides of the quick-release slide fastener. In this way, the pulling member textile is held easily and covers the tooth easy-release region, thus preventing the tooth easy-release region from separating due to the impact of the unnecessary external force.

The article of clothing has a first size in a closed state of the outer zipper and a second size in an open state of the outer zipper, wherein the first size is smaller than the second size. In the open state of the outer zipper, the rows of teeth are held together at a distance from each other by material which is at least partly covered by the outer zipper in the closed state of the outer zipper. An inner zipper with two rows of teeth is provided, said zipper being at least partly covered by the outer zipper in the closed state of the outer zipper and being exposed in the open state of the outer zipper.

    摘要: A closure mechanism includes a first elongate closure member having a series of spaced features disposed along an entire length of the first elongate closure member. A second elongate closure member includes a series of spaced features disposed along an entire length of the second elongate closure member. The second elongate closure member sealingly engages the first elongate closure member. A slider interacts with (i) the series of spaced features on the first elongate closure member to produce a first feedback at a first frequency, and (ii) the series of spaced features on the second elongate closure member to produce a second feedback at a second frequency. The first feedback at the first frequency differs from the second feedback at the second frequency.
