Abstract: There is provided a slide fastener and a method for manufacturing a slide fastener. A slide fastener is provided with: a pair of fastener tapes; a pair of fastener element rows provided respectively on the opposing tape-side edges of the pair of fastener tapes and having a plurality of fastener elements; and a slider configured to engage and disengage the pair of fastener element rows with and from each other. Each of the fastener element rows is composed of a monofilament which is made of synthetic resin. The monofilament has, on the surface thereof, a surface layer which can be colored with dyes. A roughened surface having a number of concaves is formed on the surfaces of the surface layer.

Abstract: A continuous fastener element in a fastener stringer has a plurality of fine projections disposed on a circumferential surface of a monofilament continuously along a length direction of the monofilament and a plurality of recesses disposed between the projections. A cross-sectional shape of the projection is curved convexly, and a cross-sectional shape of the recess is curved concavely. A curvature of the convex curved surface of the projections is set to be larger than a curvature of the concave curved surface of the recess in a cross-section of the monofilament. At least the projections disposed on the upper and lower leg parts are twisted with respect to an extension direction of the upper and lower leg parts, and a plurality of the projections disposed on the upper leg part or the lower leg part in a twisted state face the same direction.

Abstract: In a fastener stringer, a continuous fastener element includes a plurality of fine projections disposed on a circumferential surface of a monofilament continuously along a length direction of the monofilament. Moreover, at least the projections disposed on the upper and lower leg parts are twisted with respect to an extension direction of the upper and lower leg parts, and a plurality of the projections disposed on the upper leg part or the lower leg part a twisted state face the same direction. Due to this, a larger number of projections can appear on an exposed surface of the fastener element, light can be diffused and reflected from these projections, and the luster of the monofilament can be stably reduced or removed. Moreover, it is possible to prevent the strength of the monofilament from locally decreasing and to prevent deterioration of the operability of a slider.
