In a upper stopper device for a slide fastener having a cross section of a substantially U shape, which is adapted to be attached continuously to a fastener element row of a stringer capable of being engaged with or separated from each other, an end portion of the upper stopper device opposite to the fastener element row is formed with a widened portion, which abuts against wing plates at a shoulder opening of a slider into which the stringer is inserted so that the slider can stop. Further, a caulking portion is formed in a range between the widened portion and at an end portion side toward the fastener element row. The slider abuts against the widened portion of the upper stopper device attached to the stringer so that it reliably stops.
A upper stopper device for a slide fastener, which is adapted to be attached to an upper end of at least one of fastener element rows capable of being engaged with or separated from each other, wherein said upper stopper device has a widened portion, which is capable of abutting against at least one of wing plates at a shoulder opening of a slider, at an end portion side away from said fastener element rows.
