A leakproof plastic reclosable fastener or zipper with slider particularly suited for thermoplastic bags. The zipper is formed by reclosable interlocking rib and groove profile elements on respective strips and the strips each include profiled track structure extending along the length thereof parallel to the rib and groove elements. A straddling slider is positioned on the strips for closing or opening the reclosable fastener elements. The slider includes depending side walls for maintaining the track structure and the rib and groove elements therebetween. The slider also includes separator structure inserted between the track structure but not the rib and groove elements to open the rib and groove elements. The zipper structure is slit or notched locally at the end where the slider goes when the zipper is closed, to allow the rib and groove elements to interlock fully making a leakproof closure.

A leakproof plastic reclosable fastener with slider particularly suited for thermoplastic bags and the like comprising a pair of flexible plastic strips having separable fastener means extending along the length thereof comprising reclosable interlocking rib and groove profile elements on the respective strips, said strips each including profiled track structure extending along the length thereof parallel to the rib and groove elements, a straddling slider on said strips for closing or opening the reclosable fastener elements comprising an inverted U-shaped plastic member having a back for moving along the top edges of the strips with depending side walls projecting therefrom for maintaining said track structure and said rib and groove elements therebetween, said slider including separator structure depending from said back and inserted between said track structure to open said rib and groove elements, said side walls extending from an opening end of the slider to a closing end, the side walls being spaced wider apart at the opening end to permit separation of the rib and groove elements and being spaced sufficiently close together at the closing end to press the rib and groove elements into interlocking relationship as the slider is moved in a fastener closing direction, and structure at one end of said pair of strips separating said track structure from said interlocking rib and groove elements whereby when said slider is moved in the fastener closing direction to said one end of said strips said opening end of said slider is ineffective on said track structure to open said interlocking rib and groove elements at said one end of said strips while said interlocking rib and groove elements are closed throughout the length of said strips by said closing end of said slider to prevent leakage through said reclosable fastener, wherein said structure at said one end of said pair of strips separating said track structure from said interlocking rib and groove elements comprising longitudinal slit structure whereby when said slider is moved in the fastener closing direction to said one end of said strips said track structure on said strips is moved apart at said at said one end of said strips by said opening end of said slider while said interlocking rib and groove elements are closed throughout the length of said strips by said closing end of said slider to prevent leakage through said reclosable fastener.
