Patent number: 8806725Abstract: A slide fastener according to the invention includes a left-and-right pair of first and second fastener stringers, a box pin provided on the first fastener stringer, an insert pin provided on the second fastener stringer, and a pair of first and second sliders. The box pin has a box pin body, a stopper portion, and a ridge portion formed on the box pin body. Further, a chamfered portion is formed on an inner surface of at least one of the upper and lower wing plates of the first slider. The ridge portion is arranged at a position in close contact with the chamfered portion of the first slider when the first slider is stopped at the stopper portion. With this arrangement, it becomes possible to cause the user to be accustomed to securely slide the first slider to the normal insert-pin inserting position.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2009Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: YKK CorporationInventors: Keiichi Keyaki, Takanori Ozawa

Patent number: 8782858Abstract: A slider has an upper blade of a slider body having an insert groove of a locking pawl, a temporary engagement portion for which temporary engages and fixes the locking pawl, and a claw hole. The temporary engagement portion is adapted so that, with the locking pawl fixed in position, the position in height of the upper end of the temporary engagement portion is the same as or lower than that of the upper surface of the upper blade. This prevents the temporary engagement portion from being pressed and crushed when the temporary engagement portion is in contact with the tab and so on. As a result, an automatic stop mechanism of the slider can stably function.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2013Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: YKK CorporationInventors: Keiichi Keyaki, Koji Yamagishi, Takanori Ozawa

Patent number: 8661628Abstract: A slide fastener includes a pair of first and second fastener stringers, a box pin, an insert pin, and a pair of first and second sliders. The box pin has a box pin body, a stopper portion arranged at a front end side of the box pin body, and suppressing portions projected on at least one of upper and lower surfaces of the box pin body to suppress sliding of the second slider. Further, the box pin body has a body region, and a notched region arranged at an element-row-side base end portion and having excluded a side surface portion at a side facing the insert pin. The suppressing portions are projected in only the notched region. With this arrangement, the second slider can be stably held at an insert-pin inserting position, and a subsequent insert operation or extract operation of the insert pin can be smoothly performed.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2009Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: YKK CorporationInventors: Keiichi Keyaki, Takanori Ozawa
