Abstract: A method of producing metal component-attached vehicle window glass includes disposing a metal component on a main surface of window glass via an adhesive, locally heating the metal component, and transferring heat from the metal component to the adhesive to heat and cure the adhesive.

Abstract: A readily burstable slide fastener for an inflatable device, such as a lifejacket, includes a first stringer, a second stringer and a slider slidably mounted on the second stringer. At a weakened region along the slide fastener coupling elements are omitted from each of the stringers so that when a bursting force is applied to this region the coupling elements adjacent thereto are disengaged. Coupling elements are omitted from the top of the first stringer so that when the slider is at the top of the coupling elements of the second stringer, the first stringer can disengage from the slider. When the slide fastener is fitted to an inflatable lifejacket, the stringers are separated completely when the lifejacket is inflated.

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 in which a fastener element has first and second leg portions continuously disposed at both ends of the coupling head is folded in half at its center, and the first leg portion is attached to a coupling element attaching portion of a fastener tape by a sewing thread. A vulnerable portion which is cut out into a V is formed on the bent end face of the coupling head.

Abstract: A slide fastener which withstands a predetermined lateral pulling force in a usual usage and is cloven when an excessive lateral pulling force is applied at the time of airbag inflation, wherein the slide fastener in which a plurality of attachment leg portions of coupling teeth, on each of which a coupling head formed to have a relatively large width and the attachment leg portions extending from the coupling head are formed, are attached on a coupling tooth attaching portion of each of a pair of fastener tapes on right and left with a predetermined pitch along a tape longitudinal direction is configured to satisfy a relationship 0.4?(2×H?P)/P?0.1 between a summit height H [mm] of the coupling head formed to have a relatively large width and a pitch P [mm].

Abstract: A readily burstable slide fastener 1 for an inflatable device, such as a lifejacket 101?, comprises a first stringer 3, a second stringer 5 and a slider 19 slidably mounted on the second stringer 5. At a weakened region 23 along the slide fastener 1 coupling elements 15 are omitted from each of the stringers 3, 5 so that when a bursting force is applied to this region 23 the coupling elements 15 adjacent thereto are disengaged. Coupling elements 15 are omitted from the top of the first stringer 3 so that when the slider 19 is at the top of the coupling elements 15 of the second stringer 5, the first stringer 3 can disengage from the slider 19. When the slide fastener 1 is fitted to an inflatable lifejacket 101?, the stringers 3, 5 are separated completely when the lifejacket 101? is inflated.

Abstract: The present invention provides a slide fastener in which a broken part of a coupling element is not separated easily at the time of a forced cleavage when an airbag is expanded and having an excellent appearance. In the slide fastener (110) in which coupling elements (12, 113) each having a first leg portion and a second leg portion (72; 73) which are forked and extended from a coupling head (70) are sewed to a fastener tape (16, 17) thereof, a V-shaped cutout portion is formed at a single position in the range from a sewing line (84) on a first sewing portion (74) of the first leg portion (72) up to a sewing line (85) on a second sewing portion (75) via a coupling head (70) so as to form a vulnerable portion (80) whose breaking resistance is weakened. Consequently, even if an excessive lateral pulling force is applied to the slide fastener (110), so that the coupling element (12) is broken at the vulnerable portion (80), a broken part of the coupling element (12) is held on the fastener tape (16, 17).

The crown portion (5) is disposed on the upper side (85) of the slider body portion (7) and the latch portion (3) is disposed on the underneath side (87) of the slider body portion (7). The latch portion (3) comprises a latching member (35) and a receiving portion (37) which engage with a receiving portion (37) and latching member (35) respectively on a second co-operating slider (2), to releasably latch the first (1) and second (2) sliders together.

Abstract: In a zip fastener the elements (10) on one tape have a head which engages a shoulder (20) of an opposed element to limit out of plane movement. A small number of elements (30) have a head (38) which bears on a shoulder 46 when twisted in one direction but passes the shoulder (46) when twisted in the opposite direction to allow partial separation of the elements to create a point of weakness. The coupled elements can be peeled apart when sufficient pressure is applied to one side of the tape at the point of weakness, but the elements resist twisting when pressure is applied to the opposite side.

Abstract: A female member of a snap fastener with tape comprising a female button made of synthetic resin which is integrally molded on front and back faces of the tape so as to hold a peripheral edge of an attachment hole of the tape having at least one attachment hole and which has an engaging opening to be engaged with a male button at a substantially center portion of the female button. The female button has at least one mold hole extending in a front and back direction of the tape, and at least one portion of the tape extends to an inside of the female button across the mold hole. At least one cut-out recessed in a diameter direction of the female button is defined in a portion of an inner peripheral engaging face of the engaging opening, and a gate burr is formed at a bottom face of the cut-out.
