Abstract
A zipper assembly includes: a slider of a generally C-shaped cross section; a bottom stop fixed to an end of one side tape; and a locking unit fixed to a corresponding end of another side tape, the locking unit being separably coupled with the slider disposed above the locking unit to limit movement of the slider, wherein the locking unit selectively allows for and blocks the movement of the slider by coupling with or separation, in a vertical direction, from the bottom stop.
