  The design portion 48 of the lower stopper 44 is substantially the same shape as the design portion 34 of the element 14 when viewed from the surface 16 c of the tape member 16, and has a substantially oval shape that is thin in the width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the tape member 16. It is formed and has a symmetrical shape in the width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the tape member 16. As a result, the pair of left and right elements 14 mesh with each other, the design portions 34 of the plurality of elements 14 are positioned on an extended line arranged in a chain in a row, and the design portion 48 of the lower stopper 44 is also a design portion. Since it has the same shape as 34, it is integrated with the element row 15 and integrated.

  The maximum dimension in the width direction of the lower stopper 44 is slightly larger than the maximum dimension in the width direction of the element 14. However, the center axis in the width direction of the bottom stopper 44 is integrated with the element row 15 in order to have the same axis as the center axis in the width direction of the element rows 15 arranged in a row.

  The cross-sectional shape in the thickness direction of the tape member 16 of the design portion 48 is formed in a substantially hemispherical shape that is entirely curved, similar to the design portion 34 of the element 14, and from the surface of the tape member 16 in the center portion in the width direction. The height of the element 14 is set to be the maximum height. The back portion 50 of the lower stop 44 has the same substantially oval shape as that of the design portion 48, and the height of the element 14 from the back surface of the tape member 16 is the maximum in the center portion of the curved substantially hemispherical width direction. The lower surface of the back portion is provided with a flat portion 53 parallel to the back surface 16 d of the tape member 16.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the length a (maximum height) of the lower stopper 44 from the surface 16c of the tape member 16 to the highest portion of the design portion 48 is the upper blade of the slider 18 from the surface 16c of the tape member 16. It is provided so as to be longer by Δa than the length c to the inner surface 18a on the plate 20 side. The length b (maximum height) of the bottom stop 44 from the tape member 16 back surface 16d to the highest portion of the back portion 50, that is, the flat surface portion 53, is from the tape member 16 back surface 16d to the lower blade 22 side of the slider 18. It is provided so as to be longer by Δb than the length d to the inner side surface 18b. The relationship between Δb and Δa is Δb> Δa.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the upper stopper 46 is attached to the upper end of one element row 15 of the tape member 16, and is the second from the top of the pair of element rows 15. The tape member 16 having the element 14b is provided. That is, the upper stopper 46 is fixed only to the side edge of one tape member 16, and the upper stopper 46 extends from the side edge of one tape member 16 toward the element 14 at the upper end of the other tape member. Has been.

  The upper stopper 46 is attached with a slight gap from the element 14b which is the upper end of the tape member 16 on the second side from the top, that is, the side on which the upper stopper 46 is attached. Then, the element row 15 is engaged with each other, the slider 18 is positioned near the upper end portion of the element row 15, and the elements 14 b and 14 c that are not engaged from the upper end portion of the slider 18 are visible, and the element 14 c located at the uppermost end. Are lined up at the same height.

  The upper stopper 46 is formed by injection molding using a synthetic resin of the same material as the element 14, and a design portion 54 disposed on the surface 16 c of the tape member 16 as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, and the tape member The back part 56 arrange | positioned at the back surface 16d of 16 is provided. A tape fixing groove 58 is formed between the design portion 54 and the back portion 56 so as to penetrate along the longitudinal direction of the tape member 16 when injection molding is performed on the edge portion 16 a of the tape member 16.

  The design portion 54 of the upper stopper 46 is substantially the same shape as the design portion 34 of the element 14 when viewed from the surface 16 c of the tape member 16, and has a substantially oval shape that is thin in the width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the tape member 16. The tape member 16 is formed in a shape that is symmetrical in the longitudinal direction and in the width direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. Thus, when the pair of left and right elements 14 mesh and the slider 18 comes to the upper end, the element 14c and the stopper 46 are located at the same height from the upper end of the slider 18 to the left and right and become familiar with the element row 15. Integrate. Even when the pair of left and right elements 14 are opened and shown in FIG. 2, the stopper 46 looks the same as the elements 14 in the element row 15, and feels clean without any discomfort.

  The cross-sectional shape in the thickness direction of the tape member 16 of the design portion 54 is formed in a substantially hemispherical shape that is entirely curved, like the design portion 34 of the element 14. Similarly, the back portion 56 of the upper stopper 46 is also formed in a substantially hemispherical shape that is entirely curved. As shown in FIG. 8, the length e (maximum height) of the design portion 54 from the tape member 16 surface 16c to the highest portion of the design portion 54 is from the tape member 16 surface 16c to the upper blade of the slider 18. It is provided to be longer by Δe than the length g to the inner side surface 18a on the 20 side. The length h (maximum height) of the back portion 56 of the upper stopper 46 from the back surface 16d of the tape member 16 to the highest portion of the back portion 56 is from the back surface 16d of the tape member 16 to the lower wing plate 22 of the slider 18. It is provided so as to be longer by Δf than the length h (maximum height) to the inner side surface 18b. The relationship between Δe and Δf is Δf> Δe.

On the side of the upper stopper 46 opposite to the side to which the tape member 16 is attached, that is, the surface facing the uppermost element of the pair of element rows 15, the most protruding portion of the side surface that is a spherical surface In addition, a groove 60 parallel to the thickness direction of the tape member 16 is formed. There is a runner trace on the gate portion of the mold when the upper stopper 46 is injection-molded at the bottom of the groove 60.
The runner trace is a portion from which the runner of the mold is removed, and is a concave portion or a convex portion 58 with respect to the bottom surface of the groove portion 60. The height of the convex portion 58 of the runner trace is lower than the depth of the groove portion 60 and is accommodated in the groove portion 60. By adopting such a configuration, there is little possibility that the runner trace is caught on the human skin and clothes, so that the human skin is not damaged and the clothes are prevented from being caught.

  Next, a method for meshing the slide fastener 10 will be described with reference to FIG. In the slide fastener 10, a plurality of elements 14 are arranged on the edge portions 16 a of the pair of tape members 16 at intervals of one each, and the elements 14 are alternately opposed to each other in the pair of tape members 16. . Each element 14 has a tape storage groove 40 opened toward the other tape member 16 and an engaging portion 42 located on the opposite side. When the pair of tape members 16 are brought closer to each other by the slider 18, the edge 16a of the other tape member 16 is fitted into the tape storage groove 40, and the element 14 of the other tape member 16 is engaged with the engaging portion. The engaging portions 42 are positioned so as to face each other and overlap each other. Then, the slider 18 passes and the pair of tape members 16 become parallel to each other, and the engaging portions 42 of the element 14 come into contact with each other in parallel to be engaged. In the meshing state, when viewed from the surface 16c of the tape member 16, the design portion 34 of the element 14 is connected in a chain shape with a slight gap. The continuous design portions 34 are separated from each other with a slight gap, and the design portion 34 is formed in a substantially oval shape, so that the slide fastener 10 is bent in either direction while being engaged. However, the adjacent design portions 34 can be freely curved without interference and have high flexibility. Since the meshing portion 36 and the storage groove 40 are formed flat, and the meshing head portion 36b is formed in a substantially oval shape similar to the design portion 34, the meshing portion 36 and the storage groove 40 are smoothly curved without interfering with each other.

  In the slide fastener 10, the longitudinal center line of the element row 15 on the one tape member 16 side coincides with the longitudinal center line of the element row 15 on the other tape member 16 side in a state where the elements 14 are engaged with each other. . That is, when the design portion 34 has a symmetrical shape as in this embodiment, when the element 14 of the slide fastener 10 is engaged, the design portion 34 of one tape member 16 and the design portion of the other tape member 16 34 is in the same position in the width direction, so that the element row 15 is arranged on one line. The lower stopper 44 is continuously located at the lower end portion of the element row 15 arranged on one line, and has no sense of incongruity. The upper stopper 46 is continuously located at the upper end of the one element row 15 and has no sense of incongruity. When the slide fastener 10 is opened by sliding the slider 18 downward, the lower wing plate 22 of the slider 18 abuts against the back 50 of the lower stopper 44 at the lower end of the element row 15 and does not fall off. . When a force is applied further downward after the slider 18 abuts the back portion 50, the back portion 50 of the lower stopper 44 is pushed and rotates around the vicinity of the tape member 16 so that the design portion 48 moves toward the slider 18 side. The upper blade 20 of the slider 18 contacts the design portion 48 of the lower stopper 44 and stops reliably.

  Further, in the slide fastener 10, the slider 18 is positioned near the upper end in a state where the elements 14 are engaged with each other, and the uppermost element 14 c can be seen from the slider 18, but it is stopped at a position symmetrical to the element 14 c. The tool 46 is visible and there is no sense of incongruity. When the slider 18 is slid upward, the lower blade 22 of the slider 18 abuts against the back portion 56 of the upper stopper 46 at the upper end of the element row 15 and does not fall off. When a force is applied further upward after the slider 18 abuts the back portion 56, the back portion 56 of the upper stopper 46 is pushed and rotates around the vicinity of the tape member 16, and the upper blade 20 of the slider 18. Is also brought into contact with the design portion 54 of the upper stopper 46 and is securely stopped.

  According to the slide fastener 10 of this embodiment, the lower stopper 44 and the upper stopper 46 are respectively attached to the end portions of the element row 15, and the lower stopper 44 and the upper stopper 46 stop the movement of the slider 18 and slide. It is possible to reliably prevent the slider 18 from falling out of the fastener 10 and to reliably maintain the meshing state of the element 14. The lower stopper 44 and the upper stopper 46 are designed and have a spherical shape, so there are no sharp parts and they do not hurt even if they hit the skin. Moreover, the lower stopper 44 and the upper stopper 46 are directly injection-molded on the tape member 16 and can be easily and surely attached with high strength.

  The lower stopper 44 and the upper stopper 46 are designed so that the design portions 48 and 54 are similar to the design portion 34 of the element 14, and are visible to the element 14 when arranged in the element row 15. Becomes better. Since the back portions 50 and 56 of the lower stopper 44 and the upper stopper 46 that cannot be seen from the surface 16c of the tape member 16 are longer in the thickness direction of the tape member 16 than the meshing portion 36 of the element 14, they are surely brought into contact with the slider 18. However, when viewed from the surface 16c of the tape member 16, it looks the same as the element 14, and the lower stopper 44 and the upper stopper 46 have a slightly higher shape than the element 14, and there is no sense of incongruity. The lower stopper 44 is located on an extended line arranged in a chain when the pair of element rows 15 are engaged, and is integrated with the element rows 15 so as to make use of the characteristic appearance of the element rows 15. It can have high design properties. The upper stopper 46 is located at the same height as the element 14c from the upper end of the slider 18 when the pair of left and right elements 14 mesh with each other and the slider 18 comes to the upper end. It looks the same as the element 14 in the element row 15 and has no sense of incongruity.

  In addition, in the slide fastener 10 of this embodiment, the slider 18 comes into contact with the bottom portions 50 and 56 of the lower stopper 44 and the upper stopper 46 and stops. However, when a stronger force is applied in the direction in which the slider 18 is advanced, The tool 44 and the upper stopper 46 are inclined so that the design portions 48 and 54 come into contact with the slider 18 and can be reliably stopped.

A flat portion 53 is provided on the back portion 50 of the lower stopper 44, and the height of the back portion 50 is slightly lowered by the flat portion 53, and the back portion 50 is attached to the body when wearing clothes or the like with the slide fastener 10 attached thereto. It is devised so that it does not hurt even if it contacts.

  In addition, the slide fastener of this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, The shape, the number, etc. of each member can be changed suitably. For example, in one slide fastener, the upper and lower fasteners of the present invention may be provided at the lower end portion, and different stoppers may be provided at the upper end portion. Moreover, the stopper of this invention may be provided in the upper end part, and the different stopper may be provided in the lower end part. The shape of the element of the slide fastener can be appropriately changed, and is appropriately changed according to the design portion of the fastener and the shape of the element.
