  • Patent number: 11406164
    Abstract: Slide fastener coupled to flexible member includes: a pair of fastener stringers, each of the fastener stringers having a fastener tape provided with a first side-edge portion and a second side-edge portion which extend in an elongation direction of the fastener tape, and a fastener element provided on the first side-edge portion side; and one or more sliders for opening and closing the pair of fastener stringers. The fastener tape includes a first tape region onto which a flap of the flexible member is overlaid and a second tape region positioned between the first tape region and the second side-edge portion. The flap is interposed between the first tape region and the second tape region.

  • Publication number: 20220218076
    Abstract: Fastener tape is woven from a weft thread and warp threads both of which are threads with a main attribute. The fastener tape includes: first and second side-edges extending along an elongation direction of the fastener tape to define a fastener tape width; and a tape main portion interposed between the first and second side-edges. The tape main portion includes an identification region woven by plural warp threads and the weft thread interlaced with one another, the identification region having an identification region width which is a partial width of an entire width of the fastener tape width and is a width in accordance with a number of the plural warp threads. Structure of the identification region is configured to allow identification that the weft thread and the warp threads are with the main attribute and/or to allow identification of a sub-attribute subdivided from the main attribute.

  • Patent number: 9596909
    Abstract: In a slide fastener, a fastener tape is woven with a single-woven structure, and in the fastener tape, a double-woven region woven with a double-woven structure is formed along a tape longitudinal direction. An inner single-woven region and an outer single-woven region of the single-woven structure are formed at a tape inner edge side and a tape outer edge side of the double-woven region. Thus, even if the fastener tape makes contact with ridge line portions on a lower blade side of the slider when the slider is slid, weft yarns arranged in the double-woven region are less likely to be cut.

  • Publication number: 20130219676
    Abstract: There is provided a slide fastener. A pair of fastener tapes are made by weaving. A pair of fastener element rows are respectively provided on opposing tape side edge portions of the pair of fastener tapes. Each of the pair of fastener element rows has a plurality of fastener elements. A slider is configured to engage and disengage the pair of fastener element rows. End stops are respectively provided on end portions of the pair of fastener element rows to stop movement of the slider. Stripe patterns are respectively formed along a longitudinal direction of the fastener tapes in the tape side edge portions at the outer side of the end stops in the longitudinal direction of the fastener tapes.

  • Publication number: 20080257442
    Abstract: A slide fastener stringer easily manufactured by a series of manufacturing steps with molding fastener elements in a warp yarn exclusion area formed on one side edge of a fastener tape, wherein a fastener tape is produced by weaving with warp yarns and weft yarns of synthetic fiber yarn; plural pieces of water soluble fiber yarns are disposed inside over plural pieces of the warp yarns from the side edge of the tape; in a dying step in a process for manufacturing a fastener stringer, the water soluble fiber yarns are dissolved to form the warp yarn exclusion area; and by molding the fastener elements by using the warp yarn exclusion area, the fastener stringer is manufactured in an easy sequential manufacturing process without applying any special processing.

  • Publication number: 20020157172
    Abstract: Dyed, colorless transparent, or semi-transparent yarns or dyed transparent or semi-transparent yarns are used in combination as composition yarns of a belt to be woven or knitted. Consequently, color of the dyed yarns can be seen through the transparent yarns at intersections of the both yarns, so that beautiful intersections are produced. Further, the belt having a specific color tone produced by mixing various colors may be obtained. If it is intended to change the color of the belt, the belt having a desired color can be produced easily only by changing part of the composition yarns.
