Patent number: 9668547Abstract: A slider body of a slider includes a slider main member and a slider sub-member. The slider main member includes at least a portion of a first blade and at least a portion of a second blade which are connected to each other through a guide column. The slider sub-member includes a pair of first flange sections and is assembled with and fixed to the slider main member. The slider can easily be attached to a fastener chain. Since the slider stably has a predetermined distance between the first and second blades, it is possible to secure satisfactory sliding properties and operability of the slider.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2012Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: YKK CorporationInventors: Morimasa Yoneoka, Haruo Matsushima

Patent number: 9427051Abstract: A slider is structured such that a tab attaching rod is integrally formed in a cantilevered state in an upper blade of a slider body, and a blocking member blocking an insertion gap which is formed between the upper blade and a free end portion of the tab attaching rod is engaged with a mounting portion of the slider body so as to be immovably fixed, and is provided with an occlusion retaining structure which retains a blocked state of the insertion gap at a time of fixing the blocking member and can prevent the other member from intruding into the insertion gap. Accordingly, the slider can easily attach a tab afterward to the tab attaching rod. Further, it is possible to securely prevent the other member from intruding between the upper blade and the free end portion of the tab attaching rod.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2010Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: YKK CorporationInventors: Hsien Hsiang Hsu, Morimasa Yoneoka

Patent number: 7059024Abstract: Fastener elements are attached to a side edge of a fastener tape composed of a knitting structure. An interval between the elements and a wale in the vicinity of the elements is formed into a thin knitted fabric. A flange on a side of a rear mouth of a slider is disposed on the thin knitted fabric and the slider is slid based on this section. For this purpose, an outer side of a bottom end face of the flange is cut out to provide with a notch portion, so that this portion is formed with a small width. Consequently, the thin knitted fabric is slid and introduced securely, and making a pressure contact with a surface of the wale is prevented. Even if a fastener is mounted on trousers and its fabric is pulled in a lateral direction forcibly to open, the elements are prevented from biting into a tape guide groove and escaping.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2004Date of Patent: June 13, 2006Assignee: YKK CorporationInventors: Morimasa Yoneoka, Keiichi Keyaki, Kiyoshi Oda
