- the other ends of the chains of the fastener elements 3a, 3b refers to ends on the side that face a direction in which the slide fastener 1 is closed when the slider 7 is slid in the longitudinal direction of the fastener tapes 2a, 2b.
- a front-rear direction of the fastener tapes 2a, 2b is defined as "an upper-lower direction” or "a height (depth) direction”. That is, this embodiment is described under an assumption that the front surface side of the fastener tapes 2a, 2b is defined as “an upper portion” and the rear surface side of the fastener tapes 2a, 2b is defined as "a lower portion”.
- fastener tapes 2a, 2b For the fastener tapes 2a, 2b, a band-shaped material that is woven or knitted from synthetic fiber or natural fiber is used, and cores 5a, 5b are arranged along tape side edges 21a, 21b extending in the longitudinal direction.

- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- GF-PET glass fiber reinforcement polyethylene terephthalate
- COP cyclic polyolefin
- the fastener elements 3a, 3b, the slider 7, the bottom stopper 4 and the top stoppers 6a, 6b may be made of the materials that are melted by ultrasonic vibration which will be described later and they are not especially limited.
- a low melting point metal for example, lead, tin and the like, may be used.
- the decorative part 8 is attached onto a surface 300, 400, 600 or 700 of at least one of the fastener elements 3a, 3b, the slider 7, the bottom stopper 4 and the top stoppers 6a, 6b.
- An example in which decorative parts 8 are attached onto, for example, the top stoppers 6a, 6b is described.
- the first top stopper 6a made of the resin is arranged on the tape side edge 21a of the top end of the first fastener tape 2a.
- the second top stopper 6b is arranged on the tape side edge 21 b of the top end of the second fastener tape 2b opposite to the first fastener tape 2a.
- the first top stopper 6a includes: a concave first storage 62a formed on the surface 600; a first decorative part 8a stored in the first storage 62a; and a first fixer 63a that is integrated with the first storage 62a and protrudes from inside the first storage 62a and fixes the first decorative part 8a.
- the second top stopper 6b includes: a concave second storage 62b formed on the surface 600; a second decorative part 8b stored in the second storage 62b; and a second fixer 63b that is integrated with the second storage 62b and protrudes from inside the second storage 62b and fixes the second decorative part 8b.

- a thickness of the front-rear direction of the fastener tape 2b of the stopper 61 is equal to each of the fastener elements 3a, 3b, and a length when it is viewed from the lateral direction of the fastener tape 2b of the stopper 61 is approximately equal to a length of the base 35 of the fastener element 3b. Since the stopper 61 is formed, the slider 7 can be protected from being separated from the chains of the fastener elements 3a, 3b. Thus, the strengths when the fastener tapes 2a, 2b are pulled in their width directions are improved.
- the first storage 62a includes: a first groove 621 whose shape is tapered as it goes toward a lower portion (the depth direction) of the top stopper 6a; and a second groove 622 that is connected to the first groove 621 above the first groove 621 and linked to the surface 600.
- the decorative part 8 when with a maximum diameter portion 82 whose cross-section has the maximum diameter as a boundary, the decorative part 8 includes a body unit 81 positioned lower than the maximum diameter portion 82, and a surface exposure portion 83 that is tapered upwardly from the body unit 81, the body unit 81 of the decorative parts 8 is stored in the first groove 621, and the surface exposure portion 83 is stored in the second groove 622.
- the fastener tape 2a which has the core 5a at its tip is embedded in a further lower portion of the first storage 62a.
- a tip of the fastener tape 2a (core 5a) is preferably located just under a center 623 (central axis C) of the first storage 62a, or arranged so as to be shifted from the center 623 (central axis C).
- the center 623 (central axis C) of the first top stopper 6a is preferably located just under the tip of the first fastener tape 2a embedded in the first top stopper 6a, or arranged so as to be shifted to the side of the second fastener tape 2b from the tip.
- the center (that is not shown) of the second top stopper 6b shown in Fig. 1 or 4 is preferably located at the tip of the second fastener tape 2b embedded in the second top stopper 6b, or arranged so as to be shifted to the side of the first fastener tape 2a from the tip. Since the fastener tape 2a and the core 5a are arranged so as to be shifted from the central axis C, in a producing method that will be described later, the vibration generated when the decorative part 8 is fixed is unlikely to be transmitted to the fastener tape 2a or core 5a. Thus, a work for fixing the decorative part 8 can be completed in a short time.
- a displacement d4 in order to efficiently fix the decorative part 8, can be separated by a distance of, for example, 0 mm or more, preferably, about 0 to 1 mm.
- a length d2 in the lateral direction of the fastener tape 2a embedded in the first top stopper 6a is preferred to be 50 % or less of a length in a width direction of a maximum diameter d1 of the first storage 62a and further preferred to be 25 to 50 %.
- a distance d3 between the center (the deepest portion) 623 of the first storage 62a and the highest end of the fastener tape 2a (core 5a) can be typically set to about 0 to 1 mm.
- the material of the decorative part 8 is not especially limited. Also, there is not any limit on the concrete shapes of the decorative part 8.
- the decorative part 8 may be shaped (diamond-shaped) to include: the body unit 81 that is tapered downwardly from the maximum diameter portion 82; and the surface exposure portion 83 that is tapered upwardly from the body unit 81. As shown in Fig.
- the decorative part 8 may be shaped to include the body unit 81 that is pillared and the surface exposure portion 83 that is tapered upwardly from the body unit 81 with the maximum diameter portion 82 as the boundary.
- the decorative part 8 may be pyramidal shaped to include the body unit 81 that is tapered downwardly from the maximum diameter portion 82 whose cross-section has the maximum diameter.
- the decorative part 8 may be spherical or elliptical.
- the decorative part 8 may be shaped to contain the surface exposure portion 83 that is tapered upwardly from the maximum diameter portion 82.
- the positional relation between the decorative part 8 and the slide fastener configuration members is not especially limited.
- the decorative part 8 may be preferably fixed to inside the storage (the first storage 62a) in such a way that the maximum diameter portion 82 of the decorative part 8 is located lower than the surface 600 of the first top stopper 6a. Consequently, the decorative part 8 is stabilized in the storage and unlikely to be fallen off.
- the decorative part 8 may be fixed to inside a storage 32, 42, 62a, 62b, 72a, 72b or 72c in such a way that the top surface of the surface exposure portion 83 of the decorative part 8 is located on the same flat surface as the surface 300, 400, 600 or 700 of at least one of the fastener elements 3a, 3b, the slider 7, the bottom stopper 4 and the top stoppers 6a, 6b or the top surface of the surface exposure portion 83 of the decorative part 8 is located lower than the surface 300, 400, 600 or 700. That is, in the example shown in Fig. 10 , a top surface 83a of the surface exposure portion 83 of the decorative part 8 is located on the same flat surface as the surface 600 of the first top stopper 6a.

After that, from the top surface of the decorative part 8 to the resin layer configuring the first storage 62a, the supersonic vibration of about 20 kHz, preferably, about 20 to 40 kHz is applied to the surface of the decorative part 8 by using a supersonic transmitter. With the application of the supersonic vibration, as shown in Fig.
- the resin located close to the boundary between the first groove 621 and the second groove 622 of the first storage 62a opposite to the maximum diameter portion 82 of the decorative part 8 is melted, and the resin is expansively eluted from a side wall 64 of the second groove 622 inside the first storage 62a, and the fixer 63a (first fixer) for covering a part of the surface exposure portion 83 is formed.
- the fixer 63a is formed such that the resin configuring the first top stopper 6a is partially melted and integrated.
- the decorative part 8 can be fixed easily and efficiently. Since the fixer 63a covers only the part of the surface exposure portion 83, the outer appearance of the decorative part 8 is not damaged, and its design level is also improved.

Thebottom stopper 4 is a part that is molded at the vicinity of the bottom ends of the chains of thefastener elements Fig. 1 , and has the outer appearance of an approximate rectangle. On the other hand, thetop stoppers fastener elements Fig. 1 , its planar viewing is circular. Thetop stoppers top stoppers slider 7 located on a directional side in which the slide fastener 1 is closed), respectively, in the front-rear direction of thefastener tapes bottom stopper 4 and thetop stoppers Fig. 1 . The various outer appearances can be naturally employed. - Resins are used for the
fastener elements slider 7, thebottom stopper 4 and thetop stoppers fastener elements slider 7, thebottom stopper 4 and thetop stoppers - The
decorative part 8 is attached onto asurface fastener elements slider 7, thebottom stopper 4 and thetop stoppers decorative parts 8 are attached onto, for example, thetop stoppers Fig. 1 , the firsttop stopper 6a made of the resin is arranged on thetape side edge 21a of the top end of thefirst fastener tape 2a. The secondtop stopper 6b is arranged on thetape side edge 21 b of the top end of thesecond fastener tape 2b opposite to thefirst fastener tape 2a. The firsttop stopper 6a includes: a concavefirst storage 62a formed on thesurface 600; a firstdecorative part 8a stored in thefirst storage 62a; and afirst fixer 63a that is integrated with thefirst storage 62a and protrudes from inside thefirst storage 62a and fixes the firstdecorative part 8a. The secondtop stopper 6b includes: a concavesecond storage 62b formed on thesurface 600; a seconddecorative part 8b stored in thesecond storage 62b; and asecond fixer 63b that is integrated with thesecond storage 62b and protrudes from inside thesecond storage 62b and fixes the seconddecorative part 8b. - As shown in
Figs. 1 and4 , astopper 61, which is arranged on thetape side edge 21b and located opposite to thefastener element 3a (that is not shown) positioned closest to the firsttop stopper 6a in the chains of thefastener elements 3a and formed integrally with the secondtop stopper 6b, is placed on the secondtop stopper 6b. A thickness of the front-rear direction of thefastener tape 2b of thestopper 61 is equal to each of thefastener elements fastener tape 2b of thestopper 61 is approximately equal to a length of thebase 35 of thefastener element 3b. Since thestopper 61 is formed, theslider 7 can be protected from being separated from the chains of thefastener elements fastener tapes - As shown in
Fig. 3 , thefirst storage 62a includes: afirst groove 621 whose shape is tapered as it goes toward a lower portion (the depth direction) of thetop stopper 6a; and asecond groove 622 that is connected to thefirst groove 621 above thefirst groove 621 and linked to thesurface 600. As shown inFig. 5 , when with amaximum diameter portion 82 whose cross-section has the maximum diameter as a boundary, thedecorative part 8 includes abody unit 81 positioned lower than themaximum diameter portion 82, and asurface exposure portion 83 that is tapered upwardly from thebody unit 81, thebody unit 81 of thedecorative parts 8 is stored in thefirst groove 621, and thesurface exposure portion 83 is stored in thesecond groove 622. As shown inFig. 3 , thefastener tape 2a which has thecore 5a at its tip is embedded in a further lower portion of thefirst storage 62a. In the present embodiment, a tip of thefastener tape 2a (core 5a) is preferably located just under a center 623 (central axis C) of thefirst storage 62a, or arranged so as to be shifted from the center 623 (central axis C). In other words, the center 623 (central axis C) of the firsttop stopper 6a is preferably located just under the tip of thefirst fastener tape 2a embedded in the firsttop stopper 6a, or arranged so as to be shifted to the side of thesecond fastener tape 2b from the tip. Similarly, the center (that is not shown) of the secondtop stopper 6b shown inFig. 1 or4 is preferably located at the tip of thesecond fastener tape 2b embedded in the secondtop stopper 6b, or arranged so as to be shifted to the side of thefirst fastener tape 2a from the tip. Since thefastener tape 2a and thecore 5a are arranged so as to be shifted from the central axis C, in a producing method that will be described later, the vibration generated when thedecorative part 8 is fixed is unlikely to be transmitted to thefastener tape 2a orcore 5a. Thus, a work for fixing thedecorative part 8 can be completed in a short time. Although values are not limited to the followings, in order to efficiently fix thedecorative part 8, a displacement d4 (refer toFig. 3 ) in a width direction (lateral direction) between the tip of thefastener tape 2a (the tip of the core 5a) and the central axis C can be separated by a distance of, for example, 0 mm or more, preferably, about 0 to 1 mm. - A length d2 in the lateral direction of the
fastener tape 2a embedded in the firsttop stopper 6a is preferred to be 50 % or less of a length in a width direction of a maximum diameter d1 of thefirst storage 62a and further preferred to be 25 to 50 %. With the employment of such configuration, when thedecorative part 8 is welled and fixed by supersonic vibration, the supersonic vibration is more efficiently transmitted to the resin layer configuring the firsttop stopper 6a, as compared with thefastener tape 2a and thecore 5a. Thus, thedecorative part 8 can be fixed more efficiently in a shorter time. Although values are not limited to the followings, a distance d3 between the center (the deepest portion) 623 of thefirst storage 62a and the highest end of thefastener tape 2a (core 5a) can be typically set to about 0 to 1 mm. Although their illustrations and detailed explanations are omitted, even for thesecond storage 62b of the secondtop stopper 6b, it is naturally possible to employ the configuration substantially equal to the firsttop stopper 6a. - In a case of a member whose object lies in jewelry such as a crystal, a stone, a jewel and the like, the material of the
decorative part 8 is not especially limited. Also, there is not any limit on the concrete shapes of thedecorative part 8. For example, as shown inFig. 5 or10 , with themaximum diameter portion 82 whose cross-section has the maximum diameter as the boundary, thedecorative part 8 may be shaped (diamond-shaped) to include: thebody unit 81 that is tapered downwardly from themaximum diameter portion 82; and thesurface exposure portion 83 that is tapered upwardly from thebody unit 81. As shown inFig. 6 , thedecorative part 8 may be shaped to include thebody unit 81 that is pillared and thesurface exposure portion 83 that is tapered upwardly from thebody unit 81 with themaximum diameter portion 82 as the boundary. As shown inFig. 7 or8 , thedecorative part 8 may be pyramidal shaped to include thebody unit 81 that is tapered downwardly from themaximum diameter portion 82 whose cross-section has the maximum diameter. As shown inFig. 9 , thedecorative part 8 may be spherical or elliptical. As shown inFig. 11 , thedecorative part 8 may be shaped to contain thesurface exposure portion 83 that is tapered upwardly from themaximum diameter portion 82. - The positional relation between the
decorative part 8 and the slide fastener configuration members (thefastener elements slider 7, thebottom stopper 4 and thetop stoppers decorative part 8 may be preferably fixed to inside the storage (thefirst storage 62a) in such a way that themaximum diameter portion 82 of thedecorative part 8 is located lower than thesurface 600 of the firsttop stopper 6a. Consequently, thedecorative part 8 is stabilized in the storage and unlikely to be fallen off. - Also, the
decorative part 8 may be fixed to inside astorage surface exposure portion 83 of thedecorative part 8 is located on the same flat surface as thesurface fastener elements slider 7, thebottom stopper 4 and thetop stoppers surface exposure portion 83 of thedecorative part 8 is located lower than thesurface Fig. 10 , a top surface 83a of thesurface exposure portion 83 of thedecorative part 8 is located on the same flat surface as thesurface 600 of the firsttop stopper 6a. Consequently, as compared with a case in which thesurface exposure portion 83 protrudes from thesurface 600 of the firsttop stopper 6a, the influence of the friction caused by outer contact and the like is unlikely to be received, which causes thedecorative part 8 to be unlikely to be fallen off from the slide fastener 1. - When the
decorative part 8 is attached, thedecorative part 8 is arranged, for example, in thefirst storage 62a shown inFig. 3 . After that, from the top surface of thedecorative part 8 to the resin layer configuring thefirst storage 62a, the supersonic vibration of about 20 kHz, preferably, about 20 to 40 kHz is applied to the surface of thedecorative part 8 by using a supersonic transmitter. With the application of the supersonic vibration, as shown inFig. 5 , the resin located close to the boundary between thefirst groove 621 and thesecond groove 622 of thefirst storage 62a opposite to themaximum diameter portion 82 of thedecorative part 8 is melted, and the resin is expansively eluted from aside wall 64 of thesecond groove 622 inside thefirst storage 62a, and thefixer 63a (first fixer) for covering a part of thesurface exposure portion 83 is formed. Thefixer 63a is formed such that the resin configuring the firsttop stopper 6a is partially melted and integrated. Thus, as compared with a case in which it is fixed onto thesurface exposure portion 83 by using a different member, thedecorative part 8 is unlikely to be separated, which enables thedecorative part 8 and the slide fastener configuration member to be more strongly connected. Moreover, since the resin is melted and eluted by the supersonic vibration, thedecorative part 8 can be fixed easily and efficiently. Since thefixer 63a covers only the part of thesurface exposure portion 83, the outer appearance of thedecorative part 8 is not damaged, and its design level is also improved. -
Figs. 12 and 13 show the examples when thedecorative part 8 is attached to thefastener element 3b. Thestorage 32 is arranged on thesurface 300 of thebase 35. As shown inFig. 13 , thestorage 32 has afirst groove 321 and asecond groove 322 which is connected to thefirst groove 321 above thefirst groove 321. Thefastener tape 2b and thecore 5b placed at the tip thereof are embedded in the lower portion of thefastener element 3b. A length in the lateral direction of thefastener tape 2b embedded in thebase 35 is preferred to be 50 % or less of the maximum diameter of thestorage 32. Also, the tip of thefastener tape 2b (the tip of the core 5b) is preferably arranged so as to be away from the center of thestorage 32. When thedecorative part 8 shown inFig. 5 is arranged in thestorage 32, thebody unit 81 is stored in thefirst groove 321, and thesurface exposure portion 83 is stored in thesecond groove 322. After that, since the supersonic vibration is applied to thedecorative part 8, the resin configuring thebase 35 is melted and protruded from the boundary between thefirst groove 321 and the second groove 322 (aside wall 34 of the second groove 322), and the fixer (that is not shown) for covering the part of thedecorative part 8 is consequently formed. -
Figs. 14 and 15 show the examples when thedecorative part 8 is attached to thebottom stopper 4. Thestorage 42 is arranged on thesurface 400 of thebottom stopper 4. As shown inFig. 15 , thestorage 42 has afirst groove 421 and asecond groove 422 which is connected to thefirst groove 421 above thefirst groove 421. Thefastener tapes cores bottom stopper 4. Even in the case shown inFig. 15 , the tips of thefastener tapes storage 42. When thedecorative part 8 shown inFig. 5 is arranged in thestorage 42, thebody unit 81 is stored in thefirst groove 421, and thesurface exposure portion 83 is stored in thesecond groove 422. After that, since the supersonic vibration is applied to thedecorative part 8 and thebottom stopper 4, the resin configuring thebottom stopper 4 is melted and protruded from the boundary between thefirst groove 421 and the second groove 422 (the vicinity of aside wall 44 of the second groove 422), and the fixer (that is not shown) for covering the part of thedecorative part 8 is consequently formed. -
