Abstract: A knit slide fastener comprises: a warp-knit fastener tape having along one longitudinal edge a fastener-element-mounting marginal portion; and a row of continuous fastener elements knitted in the fastener-element-mounting marginal portion simultaneously with the knitting of the warp-knit fastener tape; the fastener-element-mounting marginal portion including anchoring chain stitches knitted of a plurality of parallel knitting yarns for pressing down successive legs of the continuous fastener elements, and a plurality of anchoring weft inlaid yarns laid in weftwise in a zigzag pattern and between the parallel knitting yarns of the anchoring chain stitches, the anchoring weft inlaid yarns being interlaced with the chain stitches.

Abstract: In a warp-knit tape for a slide fastener, an element-mounting edge portion comprises a reinforcing core, a double-face chain stitches knitted of two yarns on opposite sides of the core, a weft inlaid structure in which a plurality of weft yarns extending between and laid in the two chain stitches symmetrically on the front and back sides, and part of a ground knit structure of a tape web portion. The chain stitches are knitted alternately with the front and back sides of the element-mounting edge portin, and the symmetrical weft yarns are laid respectively in the front and back sides of the element-mounting edge portion. The web portion has a single-face knit structure knitted by the knitting needles on only one of the front and back sides. The resulting element-mounting edge portion has a substantially rectangular cross section.

Abstract: A knit slide fastener including a fastener tape composed of a warp-knit ground structure and having an element-supporting portion along one longitudinal edge thereof, and a row of continuous coupling elements knit into and along the element-supporting portion as the fastener tape is knit, wherein two threads are knit as binding chain stitches of a double-knit structure into the element-supporting portion, each of the binding chain-stitch threads having a series off upper needle loops binding legs of the row of continuous coupling elements, and a series of lower needle loops intertwined with needle loops of corresponding chain-stitch threads forming a part of the ground structure. With this arrangement, the element-supporting portion is made tight and has a fine knit structure which will insure attachment of the of coupling elements to the element-supporting portion with high dimensional stability.

Abstract: A knit slide fastener including a fastener tape composed of a warp-knit ground structure including chain stitches, and a row of continuous coupling elements knit into and along an element-supporting portion of the fastener tape as the fastener tape is knit, wherein a plurality of threads are knit into the element-supporting portion as binding chain stitches, so as to form a group of successive longitudinally interlocked needle loops appearing on the front side and arranged such that in every two adjacent courses, the preceding needle loop overlies an upper leg of one coupling element, and the succeeding needle loop is disposed in a space between the coupling element and an adjacent coupling element at a position close to the ground structure so as to bend or flex the preceding needle loop into an inverted U shape extending embracingly over the upper and lower legs of the coupling element.

Abstract: A slide fastener tape comprising: a tape body portion having a double-layer woven structure; a surface cloth woven of a plurality of yarns, which are dyeable in different degrees with a single dye, so as to form a pattern; and a lining cloth woven of yarns, which are dyeable with a dye different from the first-named dye in such a manner that said yarns dyeable with the latter dye are exposed on the majority of the outer surface of said lining cloth. On the surface cloth, the pattern is dyed in tints of the same color. On the lining cloth, a polychromic pattern is created.

Abstract: A door handle unit suitable for use in an automobile which handle unit includes a handle arm pivotally secured on a door panel with its free end outwardly and retractably extendable through the bottom wall of a recess formed in the door panel, a handle comprising pushing and pulling parts in its end portions, which handle is pivotally attached to the free end of the handle arm so that the handle may be moved between a fully-closing position where the handle covers up the opening of the recess, and an opening position where the desired clearance is established in a part of the opening of the recess, while the free end of the handle arm is settled in the recess, and means which biases the handle toward the fully-closing position. When the handle is in the opening position, the clearance permits a driver or passenger to insert his fingers thereinto so that the handle is pulled to open the door.
