Abstract
The invention provides a side fastener comprising a fastener element in which a metallic coating layer is formed, the metallic coating layer being never scraped by a sliding of a slider. In a coil-shaped fastener element made of synthetic resin, a metallic coating layer is formed on the surface of a leg portion except an inverted portion and a coupling head with which a guide flange and a guide post of a slider come into contact. Therefore, no metallic coating layer is formed on a portion with which the guide flange and guide post of the slider come into contact. As a result, such an event that the metallic coating layer is scraped and that metallic powder is scattered is prevented, so that a fastener element having a beautiful metallic gloss can be used for a long term and a cheap, fashionable slide fastener is obtained. This invention can be applied to zigzag type, injection molded type and metal type fastener elements.

fastener element 3, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a side edge of thefastener tape 10 is sandwiched by theupper leg portion 7 andlower leg portion 8 and the upper andlower leg portions fastener tape 10 with thesewing yarn 12 by arranging the double ring sewing system using two yarns by a single needle in parallel to each other, so as to form thefastener stringer 23. If thesewing yarn 12 which is colorless transparent or has a color similar to that of themetallic coating layer 20 is used, the metallic gloss of themetallic coating layer 20 looks beautiful. Further, it is permissible to dispose the looper yarn and needle yarn of the double ring sewing system in reverse. - In the zigzag-shaped
fastener element 3 also, even if theguide flange 19 comes into contact with the outer side face of theinverted portion 9 of theupper leg portion 7 or theguide post 18 comes into contact with the outer side face of thecoupling head 6 when theslider 17 slides, there is no fear that themetallic coating layer 20 may be peeled or scraped by theguide flange 19 or theguide post 18, because themetallic coating layer 20 is not formed on the outer side face of theinverted portion 9 and the outer side face of thecoupling head 6. Meanwhile, it is permissible to sew the zigzag-shapedfastener element 3 on a side edge of thefastener tape 10 to be placed thereon. - In the
fastener element 1 of a fourth embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 10, a single-body injection-moldedfastener element 4 is formed on a swollen edge portion of a side edge of thefastener tape 10 by an injection molding means using such synthetic resin as polyamide, polyester, polyacetal, polypropylene and polybutylene terphthalate. The injection-moldedfastener element 4 is comprised of thecoupling head 6,upper leg portion 7 andlower leg portion 8. A concave portion in which thecoupling head 6 of a corresponding injection-moldedfastener element 4 can engage is formed between thecoupling head 6 a/6 b and upper/lower leg portions - In this injection-molded
fastener element 4, themetallic coating layer 20 is also formed on theupper leg portion 7 andcoupling head 6 except the outer side faces of theupper leg portion 7 andcoupling head 6 like the first embodiment. If theslider 17 is placed to catch the right and leftfastener stringers 23 and then slid, the outer side face of theupper leg portion 7 of the injection-moldedfastener element 4 comes into contact with theguide flange 19 of theslider 17. Also the outer side face of thecoupling head 6 comes into contact with theguide post 18. However, there is no fear that metallic powder may be scattered because nometallic coating layer 20 is formed on any place of them. - The
fastener element 1 of a fifth embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 11 is ametallic fastener element 5 formed by die-casting or shearing of metal such as aluminum alloy and zinc alloy. Thismetallic fastener element 5 is attached to the swollen edge portion on a side edge of thefastener tape 10 by crimping so as to form thefastener stringer 23. - The
metallic fastener element 5 is comprised of thecoupling head 6,upper leg portion 7 andlower leg portion 8. Themetallic coating layer 20 is formed on a top face of thecoupling head 6 and the surface of theupper leg portion 7 except the outer side faces of thecoupling head 6 andupper leg portion 7. A base material of themetallic fastener element 5 is formed of relatively cheap metal such as aluminum alloy and zinc alloy and themetallic coating layer 20 is formed with expensive metal such as gold and silver. In themetallic fastener element 5 also, when theslider 17 is slid, there is no fear that the expensive metal on themetallic coating layer 20 may be scraped by sliding of theslider 17, because nometallic coating layer 20 exists on the outer side face of theupper leg portion 7 which comes into contact with theguide flange 19 or the outer side face of thecoupling head 6 which comes into contact with theguide post 18. - In the
fastener stringer 23 of a sixth embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 12, when thefastener element 1 is attached and fixed to thefastener tape 10, thefastener element 1 is woven into a side edge of thefastener tape 10 with the weavingyarn 13.
