Abstract: Fastener stringer includes a fastener tape provided with a fastener element; and a stop part arranged at an end of the fastener tape. The stop part includes: a magnetic body; an encapsulating member encapsulating the magnetic body; and an injection-molded portion that at least partially covers or surrounds the encapsulating member encapsulating the magnetic body. At least the encapsulating member hinders heat from being transferred to the magnetic body while the injection-molded portion is formed.

Abstract: Stop member includes: a first member including a first insert to be inserted into a slider via a rear mouth of the slider, and a first base positioned rearward of the first insert; and a second member including a second insert to be inserted into the slider via a slit extending between the rear mouth and a front mouth of the slider, and a second base to be overlaid onto the first base. The first and second bases are configured to effect magnetic attraction and/or repulsion between the first and second bases when the first and second bases are overlaid. The second base rotates relative to the first base in accordance with the magnetic attraction and/or repulsion to allow the second insert to pivot toward the slit.

Abstract: A first stop member includes a first base and a first insert that is positioned between the first base and a first fastener element and is inserted into the slider via a rear mouth of a slider. A second stop member includes a second base and a second insert that is positioned between the second base and a second fastener element and is inserted into the slider via a second slit of the slider. The second insert moves toward the second slit of the slider in accordance with at least one or respective rotations of the first and second bases. A rotational axis with respect to the at least one or respective rotations of the first and second bases is positioned between the first tape region and the second tape region.

Abstract: A stop member may include: a main body fixed to both fastener tapes of a slide fastener, the main body including a first portion arranged on first tape surfaces of the fastener tapes and a second portion arranged on second tape surfaces, the second tape surfaces being opposite to the first tape surfaces; and at least one leg fixed to at least one fastener tape and coupled to the first portion of the main body, the leg extending away from the main body and covering a first region of the first tape surface of the fastener tape. The second tape surface may include a second region that is opposite to the first region of the first tape surface and includes a bare region of the second tape surface. The bare region may extend from a peripheral wall surface of the second portion toward a terminal end of the leg.

Abstract: A slide fastener includes a pair of first and second separable interfitting parts fixed to first and second fastener stringers. The first separable interfitting part includes a slider-holding part, and the second separable interfitting part is configured to be insertable/removable into/from the slider held on the slider-holding part through the tape insertion gap. A protruding part is arranged at a front end of the second separable interfitting part. A width dimension A of the protruding part, a dimension B between a back end of a side surface of the protruding part and an opposed end on a side opposite to the first separable interfitting part, and a dimension C between a guide post and a flange of the slider have a relationship of A<C<B.

Abstract: A reverse opening slide fastener is provided with a pair of first and second separable connection members which are firmly fixed to first and second fastener stringers, and a pair of first and second sliders. A connection and separation operation can be carried out by inserting and removing the second separable connection member into and from the first and second sliders. The second separable connection member has an inserting and removing region which can be inserted into and removed from the first and second sliders via a gap between upper and lower flanges of the first and second sliders. Further, a positioning structure which decides a relative position between the first separable connection member and the second separable connection member is arranged, whereby it is possible to improve an operability of the connection and separation operation.

Abstract: A slide fastener according to the invention includes a pair of first and second separable interfitting parts fixed to first and second fastener stringers. A protruding part is arranged at a front end of the second separable interfitting part and if a width dimension of the protruding part is defined as a first dimension A, a dimension between a back end of a side surface of the protruding part and an opposed end on a side opposite to the first separable interfitting part is defined as a second dimension B, and a dimension between a diamond and a flange of the slider is defined as a third dimension C, the protruding part has a relationship of the first dimension A<the third dimension C<the second dimension B. Accordingly, when the second separable interfitting part is held in a normal position, element rows can smoothly be interlocked.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an alignment film includes directly pressing a master having fine linear concavity-convexity in order of nanometer on a surface thereof to a surface of a base film at a temperature lower than a glass transition temperature of the base film, and thereby transferring a pattern corresponding to the concavity-convexity on the master to the surface of the base film.
