It is envisaged that this may serve to avoid or suppress the interferences with the separation walls 570 and the pusher portions 580 of the slider 500. Technical effects achieved by these structures would be immediately recognized by referring to Figs. 12 and 13 .
  • the left-right pair of fastener stringers 400 are closed, the left-right pair of fastener elements 200 are coupled, and the left-right pair of front stops 300 are housed in the slider 500.
  • the left-side front stop 300 of the left-side fastener stringer 400 extends along the side edge 150 of the fastener tape 100 longer than the right-side front stop 300 of the right-side fastener stringer 400.
  • the recessed engaging portion 390 is provided at the rear region of the first side surface 330 of the left-side front stop 300
  • the projected engaging portion 380 is provided at the rear region of the first side surface 330 of the right-side front stop 300.
  • the slider 500 While the slider 500 is moved frontward from the position illustrated in Fig. 9 to the position illustrated in Fig. 10 , engaging portions 210 of each left or right fastener element 200 slide on the side surface of the guide column 530 of the slider 500, and the bases 220 slide on the inner side surface of the flange portion 540 of the slider 500. As would be understandable from Fig. 9 , earlier than the right-side front stop 300, the left-side front stop 300 enters into the mouth between the guide column 530 and the flange portion 540 of the slider 500. It should be noted that, the slider 500 has a left-side mouth between the guide column 530 and the left-side flange portion 540 and a right-side mouth between the guide column 530 and the right-side flange portion 540.
  • the projected engaging portion 380 of the right-side front stop 300 which has been entered into the slider 500 through the right-side mouth of the slider 500 touches the recessed engaging portion 390 of the left-side front stop 300 after crossing the center line CL of the slider 500 in the left-right direction, thereby causing the clockwise rotation of the left-side front stop 300 and anticlockwise rotation of the right-side front stop 300.
  • the projection 373 of the left-side front stop 300 that has entered into the slider 500 through the left-side mouth is positioned rearward relative to the rear surface 320 of the right-side front stop 300 after crossing the center line CL of the slider 500 in the left-right direction.
  • Each left or right front stop 300 is provided with the slant surface 345 as described above, allowing each front stop 300 to rotate by an appropriate amount.
  • the space SP5 between the slant surface 345 of each front stop 300 and the inner wall surface of the flange portion 540 of the slider 500 may be reduced by the rotation of each front stop 300 and thus the interspace W110 illustrated in Fig. 2 may be reduced.
  • the timing when the slant surface 345 of each front stop 300 hits the inner wall surface of the flange portion 540 of the slider 500 may be earlier than the timing when the bulge 372 of each front stop 300 hits the guide column 530. In other embodiments, the timing when the slant surface 345 of each front stop 300 hits the inner wall surface of the flange portion 540 of the slider 500 may be later than the timing when the bulge 372 of each front stop 300 hits the guide column 530. In yet other embodiments, the timing when the slant surface 345 of each front stop 300 hits the inner wall surface of the flange portion 540 of the slider 500 may be substantially the same as the timing when the bulge 372 of each front stop 300 hits the guide column 530.
  • each front stop 300 when each front stop 300 is housed in the slider 500, the front surface 310 of each front stop 300 substantially or perfectly matches the contour of the bottom wing 520 of the slider 500. In other embodiments, it is envisaged that, when each front stop 300 is housed in the slider 500, the front surface 310 of each front stop 300 may be positioned frontward from the contour of the bottom wing 520 of the slider 500 by an arbitrary amount.
  • each front stop 300 when each front stop 300 is housed in the slider 500, the second side surface 340 and the slant surface 345 of each front stop 300 faces the inner wall surface of the flange portion 540 of the slider 500.
  • the front region of the first side surface 330 of each front stop 300 faces the guide column 530 of the slider 500, and the rear region of the first side surface 330 is positioned rearward from the guide column 530.
