  • METHOD FOR INSTALLING SLIDE FASTENER ASSEMBLY IN THIN SHELL GARMENT
    Publication number: 20200086596
    Abstract: A method of installing a slide fastener assembly in a thin shell garment includes: providing a slide fastener chain comprised of two interlocked rows of teeth, each row of teeth being attached to a cord bundle of a respective slide fastener tape; removing the interlocked rows of teeth from a portion of the slide fastener chain, thereby defining a length of the slide fastener chain without teeth; introducing a reinforcing film to the cord bundles, at a location along the length of the slide fastener chain without teeth, to shape the cord bundles for accommodation of a pin and box assembly; cutting the slide fastener chain at a film-reinforced location along the length of the slide fastener chain without teeth, thereby defining a semi-finished slide fastener assembly terminating in a film-reinforced end; and attaching the semi-finished slide fastener assembly to one or more panels of a thin shell garment.
