Abstract: A slide fastener tape member includes a tape body and a core string portion disposed at a tape side edge portion of the tape body along a length direction. The core string portion is formed by fixing a string member at the tape side edge portion along the length direction by machine sewing. The string member is fixed linearly such that at least one thread used for machine sewing crosses while contacting an outer peripheral surface of the string member without being pierced by a needle thread of machine sewing. Thus, since the core string portion can be easily provided by fixing the string member to the tape body having desired properties at a later stage, the value-added tape members can be easily manufactured at a relatively low cost.

Abstract: There is provided an element for a fastener chain. The element includes a body portion fixed on a core portion of a tape, a neck portion, a pair of shoulder portions, an engaging head portion, and a pair of groove portions. As viewed in the width direction, at least one of the pair of shoulder portions and the pair of groove portions is configured to be inclined with respect to a reference direction, which is an extending direction of the core portion on which the body portion is fixed.

Abstract: A slide fastener in which a fastener element has first and second leg portions continuously disposed at both ends of the coupling head is folded in half at its center, and the first leg portion is attached to a coupling element attaching portion of a fastener tape by a sewing thread. A vulnerable portion which is cut out into a V is formed on the bent end face of the coupling head.

Abstract: A slide fastener which withstands a predetermined lateral pulling force in a usual usage and is cloven when an excessive lateral pulling force is applied at the time of airbag inflation, wherein the slide fastener in which a plurality of attachment leg portions of coupling teeth, on each of which a coupling head formed to have a relatively large width and the attachment leg portions extending from the coupling head are formed, are attached on a coupling tooth attaching portion of each of a pair of fastener tapes on right and left with a predetermined pitch along a tape longitudinal direction is configured to satisfy a relationship 0.4?(2×H?P)/P?0.1 between a summit height H [mm] of the coupling head formed to have a relatively large width and a pitch P [mm].

Abstract: The present invention provides a slide fastener in which a broken part of a coupling element is not separated easily at the time of a forced cleavage when an airbag is expanded and having an excellent appearance. In the slide fastener (110) in which coupling elements (12, 113) each having a first leg portion and a second leg portion (72; 73) which are forked and extended from a coupling head (70) are sewed to a fastener tape (16, 17) thereof, a V-shaped cutout portion is formed at a single position in the range from a sewing line (84) on a first sewing portion (74) of the first leg portion (72) up to a sewing line (85) on a second sewing portion (75) via a coupling head (70) so as to form a vulnerable portion (80) whose breaking resistance is weakened. Consequently, even if an excessive lateral pulling force is applied to the slide fastener (110), so that the coupling element (12) is broken at the vulnerable portion (80), a broken part of the coupling element (12) is held on the fastener tape (16, 17).

Abstract: A slide fastener with a separable bottom end stop, which can be handled easily by everyone and closed or separated easily. The slide fastener includes a slider through which fastener element rows of a pair of right and left fastener tapes pass; and a separable bottom end stop including a fitting body provided on one of the fastener tapes and a pivot stopper body provided on the other fastener tape and being capable of engaging with the fitting body. The pivot stopper body has a pivot stopper portion which is capable of rotatably engaging with the fitting body by fitting the fitting body in the pivot stopper portion from a side portion of the pivot stopper body and capable of rotatably engaging with the fitting body by inserting the fitting body in the pivot stopper portion through an element guide passage from a shoulder mouth of the slider.
