zipper
Teeth that interlock
A zipper is a fastening device with two rows of interlocking metal or plastic teeth that join or separate when a sliding tab is pulled along them.
Zippers close jackets, bags, and pants.
To zip is to fasten with a zipper, or to move quickly: She zipped through the crowd.
Zip it means shut up—close your mouth like a zipper.
