Abstract

An automatically locking slider for slide fasteners is formed from a moldable plastics material and provided with an integral multi-leg locking structure including a spring portion, a locking prong portion and an anchoring portion. The spring portion is relatively short in length and has at one of its ends a bulged or ball-like projection extending outwardly beyond the region of the locking prong portion for abutting engagement with the inner wall of a cap.
