Zusammenfassung:A slider ( 10 ), a slider insertion apparatus ( 50 ) and a method for inserting the slider ( 10 ) on an interlocked fastener or zipper ( 25 ) of a reclosable bag ( 44 ). A loading rack ( 58, 72 ) feeds individual sliders ( 10 ) to the slider insertion apparatus ( 50 ) wherein the slider ( 10 ) is inserted on the interlocked profiles ( 24, 28 ) being held by a zipper guide ( 56 ). After insertion, a keeper ( 15 ) and retaining shoulders ( 19, 20 ) of the slider ( 10 ) secure an interlocking member ( 22 ) of the profile ( 24 ) from unintentional engagement with an interlocking member ( 26 ) of the opposing profile ( 28 ). A positioner ( 200 ) is used to move the inserted slider ( 10 ) and/or to move the attached reclosable bag ( 44 ) in conjunction with driving rollers ( 217 ) of a vertical form-fill-and-seal machine.
