It’s a little difficult to explain how this happened, but the situation I’ve got right now is I have a book bag which has been zipped closed, and a zipping mechanism which has separated from that zipper. I can’t figure out how to get it back on there, or if it’s even possible to do so.
To better understand what it is I need help with, imagine you had in one hand a closed zipper attached to nothing–just the zipper, no jacket or bag or anything for it to be a zipper for–and in the other hand the zipping mechanism–by which I mean the thing with the handle that you normally pull in order to zip or unzip a zipper. The zipping mechanism needs to be rejoined to the zipper somehow, if it is possible to do so.
When I try to just push the zipping mechanism back onto the zipper, it goes in a little bit until the zipper hits the little “divider” in the zipping mechanism. At this point, it seems no amount or type of force will get the zipping mechanism to lock in (or whatever it does) and start unzipping the zipper. And so I am still left with a closed zipper and a detatchable mechanism.
I’d really prefer not to cut this bookbag up if possible!
Is any help possible?
Thanks!
