The zamak spring stopper is a practical accessory used to adjust and fix the length of materials such as cord, rope or ribbon.
These stoppers are especially common in areas such as the drawstrings of hoodies, the openings of backpacks, or shoelaces.
What is Zamak?
Zamak is an alloy of zinc, aluminum, magnesium, and copper. This alloy is widely used in the production of various accessories because it is both lightweight and highly durable. The primary reason for its use in the production of spring stoppers is its resistance to wear and tear from frequent use, while providing a secure grip.
Structure and Function of the Spring Stopper
A zamak spring stopper generally consists of two main parts:
Outer Body: The outer part of the stopper, made of zinc alloy, through which the cord is threaded. It is usually cylindrical or oval in shape.
Internal Mechanism: The spring-loaded, movable mechanism inside the stopper. This mechanism is released when pressed, allowing the cord to move. When released, the spring compresses and secures the cord.
Areas of Use and Advantages
Zamak spring stoppers offer practical solutions in many areas:
Textile Products: Used to fix the cords of hooded sweatshirts, tracksuit bottoms or jackets.
Bags and Wallets: ıdeal for securing strings or zippers on the mouth of backpaks
Handicrafts: It can be preferred to adjust the end of the ropes in various macrame or knitting projects.
The zinc alloy material makes these stoppers both stylish and functional. Aesthetically, they offer a heavier, more professional look than other plastic stoppers. The spring-loaded mechanism ensures the cord is easily adjustable and stays securely in place.
