Abstract
A separable bottom end stop according to the present invention includes an insert pin, a box pin, a reverse-opening first slider, and a forward-opening second slider. The first slider includes a pawl portion that is allowed to advance into and retract from an element-guiding path. The box pin includes a box-pin body portion to be attached to a fastener tape, and a swollen part swollen in a width direction from the box-pin body portion toward the pawl portion of the first slider retained at a slide-limit position. Thereby the insert pin is less likely to be caught by the pawl portion of the slider in the process of inserting the insert pin into the slider.
