Abstract:
A slide fastener stringer in which a plurality of coupling element portions continuously formed from synthetic resin monofilament are woven in a fastener tape using a plurality of foundation weft yarns and warp yarns in succession along a side edge thereof, at the same time when the fastener tape is woven, with a plurality of element row binding warp yarns in parallel to each other, andwherein each of said coupling element portions includes a coupling head which protrudes outward from a side edge of said fastener tape, an upper leg portion and a lower leg portion, both extending inward from the side edge of the tape from both ends of the coupling head, wherein the lower leg portion is positioned below the upper leg portion, and a connecting portion for connecting each end of an upper leg portion or a lower leg portion with a lower leg portion or an upper leg portion, respectively, of an adjacent coupling element portion, and wherein among said plurality of element row binding warp yarns running in parallel, at least two adjacent element row binding warp yarns of the plurality of element row binding warp yarns disposed on a side toward said coupling heads of said coupling element portions run over the upper and lower leg portions of one coupling element portion, and then run under a foundation weft yarn running below an adjacent coupling element portion and said adjacent coupling element portion, each of said at least two adjacent element row binding warp yarns being woven in this repeating pattern.
