ZipPads

thingiverse

The initial design showcases two easy-to-use zipper handles that allow operation even with gloves on or limited dexterity. One has an enlarged, indented structure while the other features a hole for finger insertion. Attach these ZipPads to your current handle using a bit of cord, shoelace, ribbon, or remove the existing handle and run the cord through the zipper itself. A prototype can be seen on an old cupcake machine at university, displaying how the cord is used for connection.
