The present invention discloses a sewing needle structure for stitching a hidden nylon zipper, more particularly relates to a sewing needle structure applicable for the hidden nylon zippers of size No. 5 or above, characterized in that the sewing needle structure has at least three needles, which are parallel to each other. Those parallel needles are arranged with a gap having the smallest length within the maximum range and being evenly distributed along the interlocking teeth. The sewing needle structure having at least three needles fixes each seam between the interdigitating teeth, and the distance between the interlocking can be set to a minimum, such that the positioning of each tooth onto the tape by splicing could be more secure and reliable. Furthermore, the turnover folded edges of the two zipper tapes can be directly interlocked and securely coupled, and thereby the nylon zipper attains the hidden effect with high artistic quality.
A sewing needle apparatus for stitching to a tape material in hidden manner a nylon zipper having a plurality of teeth each defining a stitching space of a standard predetermined tooth body width, said sewing needle apparatus comprising at least three needle portions disposed in substantially parallel and equidistantly spaced manner, said needle portions being configured to concurrently insert into the stitching space of one zipper tooth.
A sewing needle apparatus for stitching to a tape material in hidden manner a nylon zipper having a plurality of teeth each defining a stitching space of a standard tooth body width greater than approximately 1.55 mm, said sewing needle apparatus comprising a pair of outer needle portions and at least one intermediate needle portion disposed therebetween, said intermediate needle portion being substantially parallel to said outer needle portions, said outer and intermediate needle portions being disposed in equidistantly spaced manner, said outer and intermediate needle portions being configured to concurrently insert into the stitching space of one zipper tooth.
