Abstract:
A monofilament having, in cross section, a first width and a second width being orthogonal to the first width and being greater than the first width is helically wound about the circumference surface of the mandrel. Each helical unit included in the configured helix of the monofilament includes a pair of legs, a first coupling portion coupled between said pair of legs, and a second coupling portion coupled between one leg of said pair of legs and the other leg of a pair of legs in an adjacent helical unit. The second width of said first coupling portion is oriented along the axial direction of the mandrel. The first coupling portion in each helical unit in the helix is pressed such that the second width of the first coupling portion is widened in its width direction, thereby forming an engagement head.

Claim (Index 1):
A fastener stringer comprising:\n a fastener tape that extends in an elongation direction and includes a side-edge portion; and a fastener element that extends along the elongation direction and is attached to the side-edge portion, the fastener element comprising a helix of a monofilament that comprises a plurality of helical units, each helical unit including a pair of legs, an engagement head, and a reversed portion, wherein the monofilament includes, in cross section, a first width and a second width being orthogonal to the first width and being greater than the first width, each leg in each helical unit includes the second width along the elongation direction, and the engagement head in each helical unit includes a third width along the elongation direction, the third width being greater than the second width.
