  Furthermore, according to the present invention, on the basis of any one of the above-described configurations, the fabric covering portion for sandwiching the outer fabric together with the fabric attachment portion is formed from the operating body side finger hook portion of the slider operating body. By picking a finger on the fabric cover together with or on the operation object side finger hook, it is easier to grasp the finger position and the contact with the finger is more reliable. The waist size can be adjusted more easily and comfortably with less power loss.

  Further, according to the present invention, the adjuster rail has a curved surface or a slope that is continuous from the upper surface to the front surface of the service tooth and from the upper surface to the rear surface of the service tooth in the above-described configuration. In the normal state in which the dentition and the locking line portion are locked, the metal slider is locked forward with respect to the adjuster rail, and the metal slider can be moved backward. Therefore, in the normal state where the engagement tooth and the locking line portion are locked, the metal slider is slid as it is in the rearward direction, that is, in the direction of reducing the waist size (tightening around the waist). When repeating engagement / disengagement between the engagement tooth and the locking wire portion, the engagement / disengagement operation can be made smoother and the operability can be improved.

  According to the present invention, in addition to the configuration of any one of the above inventions, the slider operating body includes a guide portion that slides with respect to the slider main body, and the slide movable body and the slider main body are at least front and rear. Since the movement restricting means for restricting the movement in any direction to a predetermined range is provided, in addition to the operational effect of any one of the above inventions, the guide portion slides in the slider main body, In addition, the movement restricting means suppresses the movement in the front-rear direction exceeding a predetermined range, thereby realizing a stable front-rear movement operation.
