Abstract

A closure mechanism includes a first elongate closure member that sealing engages with a second elongate closure member. A slider slides along the first and second elongate closure members to engage or to separate the first and second elongate closure members. The first elongate closure member includes a first series of regularly spaced features that interacts with the slider to produce a first feedback at a first frequency and the second elongate closure member includes a second series of regularly spaced features that interacts with the slider to produce a second feedback at a second frequency. The first feedback and the second feedback are produced simultaneously when the slider is slid along the first and second elongate closure members.
