 * Mechanisms:** ** Zipper by Ginés **



**1) What do you like/dislike about your product?** What I like about the zipper is that you can put something that you dont want to lose in a pocket with a zipper. And what I dont like about the zipper is that when it gets old its harder to open it.

**2) What is moving in your object?** The element that moves in a zipper is the slider, with a rolling motion. Rolling on the two rows of teeth on the sides.   media type="youtube" key="qp4XLNtpJm0" width="560" height="315"

** 3) **** How are the moving parts joined together? ** The slider has two gaps on the sides, that gap can fit the teeth from the rows of teeth from the zipper.  **3) W**** hat movement is produced? ** The element that moves in the zipper is the slider, we can move it when we want to. And the zipper moves in a linear way.

**4) Why are the moving parts used?** The slider is used to slide open or close the zipper. Like when you have a back pack with a zipper, you can open the bag using the zipper to get your books out, then you can close it back also using the same motion with the same zipper. ** 5) How do they work? ** media type="youtube" key="1IYgSesN5Fg" width="560" height="315"

** The mechanism in my object works like this: The slider has two gaps, one gap on each side, the two gaps form a "V" shape. So when you pull the slider up, the rows of teeth join together. And when you pull it down, thanks to the "V" shaped gap, it brakes through the teeth joined together. ** ** 6) ** ** Curiosities **  Now some people actually use zippers as a decoration item, it doesn't really open or close.
