摘要

[Problem] To provide a slide fastener chain and a slide fastener, which have a small curvature radius and which have flexibility enabling the slide fastener chain and the slide fastener to be smoothly bent. [Solution] A slide fastener chain (1) comprises: a pair of fastener tapes (2); and elements (3) affixed to the facing edges (21) of the fastener tapes (2) at a predetermined pitch. The slide fastener chain (1) is characterized in that: the elements (3) each have bases (31a, 32a) affixed to a fastener tape (2) and each have heads (31c, 32c) protruding from the bases (31a, 32a) and engaging with facing elements (3); and the thickness (t) and pitch (p) of the elements (3) satisfy the following expressions (1) and (2). 0
