Abstract: A method for warp knitting a narrow clasp fastener carrier tape having a strong selvage. A three guide bar construction is employed in which the front guide bar knits a pillar stitch and the middle guide bar performs shogging and lapping movements over two or more needles, with the back bar "laying-in" over three or more needles.
Abstract: A sliding clasp fastener has a pair of interengageable open-end fittings whereby the fastener stringers may be completely separated one from the other. Each fitting comprises hooking means at each side of a plane parallel to the tapes and transversely opposed surfaces to overlap surfaces of the other fitting.
