Abstract
A separable slide fastener which includes a pair of stringers, a pair of pin members each secured at one end portion of one stringer, and a retainer for separably closing said pin members to each other is disclosed. The retainer may be a slidable one wherein the retainer can slide over both stringers and receive both pin members therein or a fixed one which includes a box having an opening for receiving the other pin member therein fixed to one of the pin members. The pin members are modified fastener elements formed by cutting the coupling heads off from some of the fastener elements positioned at one end portion of each stringer.

A separable slide fastener comprising a pair of stringers, a pair of pin members each secured at one end portion of one stringer, and a retainer for separably closing said pin members to each other, said retainer being a slidable one wherein the retainer can slide over both stringers and receive both pin members therein, said pin members being modified fastener elements formed by cutting the coupling heads off from some normal fastener elements positioned at one end portion of each stringer, wherein the end surface of at least the modified fastener element adjacent the normal fastener elements of one pin member is tapered.
A separable slide fastener comprising a pair of stringers, a pair of pin members each secured at one end portion of one stringer, and a retainer for separably closing said pin members to each other, said retainer being a slidable one wherein the retainer can slide over both stringers and receive both pin members therein, said pin members being modified fastener elements formed by cutting the coupling heads off from some normal fastener elements positioned at one end portion of each stringer, wherein the height of the modified fastener element adjacent to the normal fastener element of one pin member is made greater than that of the following modified fastener element of the one pin member, the height of each modified fastener element of the other pin member being selected so that the other pin member can be received within said retainer without engaging said normal fastener element of said one pin member, and a stopper for engaging the slidable retainer is attached to the bottom end of said one pin member.
A separable slide fastener comprising a pair of stringers, a pair of pin members each secured at one end portion of one stringer, and a retainer for separably closing said pin members to each other, said retainer being a fixed one which includes a box having an opening for receiving the other pin member therein fixed to one of the pin members, said pin members being modified fastener elements formed by cutting the coupling heads off from some of normal fastener elements positioned at one end portion of each stringer, wherein the end surface of at least the modified fastener element adjacent the normal fastener elements of said one pin member is tapered.
A separable slide fastener comprising a pair of stringers, a pair of pin members each secured at one end portion of one stringer, and a retainer for separably closing said pin members to each other, said retainer being a fixed one which includes a box having an opening for receiving the other pin member therein fixed to one of the pin members, said pin members being modified fastener elements formed by cutting the coupling heads off from some of normal fastener elements positioned at one end portion of each stringer, wherein the height of the modified fastener element adjacent to the normal fastener element of said one pin member is made greater than that of the following modified fastener element of the one pin member, the height of each modified fastener element of said other pin member being selected so that the other pin member can be received within said retainer without engaging said normal fastener element of said one pin member.
