Abstract: Various implementations include a slide fastener with head to head sliders that prevents the sliders from moving apart from each other unintentionally and prevents liquid from flowing through the slide fastener. The slide fastener includes first and second sliders that are slidably coupled to a pair of interlocking stringers. The slide fastener also includes slider covers that are each coupled to a respective slider. The slider covers engage each other when the sliders are pulled together. In some implementations, the engagement of the slider covers prevents unintentional separation and/or prevents liquid from flowing out of or into a cavity defined by an inner side of the slider covers that extends around facing front faces of the sliders on one side of the interlocking stringers.

Abstract: A fastening device includes a first tape portion and a first fastening portion joined thereto, the first fastening portion defining a first side surface and a second side surface opposite thereto, the first fastening portion including a plurality of fastening elements extending from the first side surface, the plurality of fastening elements arranged lengthwise along a lengthwise direction of the fastening device, each adjacent pair of fastening elements offset by a pitch distance and defining a fastening gap therebetween, each of the plurality of fastening elements including an engagement portion extending in a direction parallel to the lengthwise direction, each of the plurality of fastening elements being asymmetric about a protrusional centerline of the fastening element, the fastening device being a first fastening device configured to be joined to a second fastening device comprising a second fastening portion having the same geometry as the first fastening portion.

Abstract: There is provided a slider for a slide fastener. The slider includes a slider body, an elastic body and a pull tab. The pull tab includes a shaft, a pull tab main body and a cam. The cam is configured to elastically deform the elastic body when the pull tab is laid down. The slider body includes an upper blade and a pair of pull tab attaching posts. The upper blade includes a recess portion and a crimping portion. The recess portion includes a pair of lateral recess portions and a center recess portion. The crimping portion protrudes from at least one of the lateral recess portions at a protruding location located at a center side relative to both front and rear ends of the center recess portion.
