Provided is a coupling element (1) for use in a slide fastener (SF). A connecting end portion (2), an anchoring end portion (3) and an intermediate portion (4) are arranged along a longitudinal axis (L-L), such that when the coupling element (1) is attached to a tape (T), the connecting end portion (2) faces away from the tape (T), the anchoring end portion (3) grasps the tape (T). In the connecting end portion (2), a front portion (2f) is adapted to be juxtaposed to that of opposing coupling elements (1), so as to form therewith a closely packed arrangement, and a rear portion (2t) is engageable with that of the opposing coupling elements (1). In the anchoring end portion (3), front and rear portions (3f, 3r) form leg members (3g) which extend away from the intermediate portion (4) while defining a groove (5) therebetween, and which are adapted to be clamped onto the tape (T). In the groove (5), a pair of recesses (5b) opposing in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis (L-L) are provided at inner proximal portions of the leg members (3g), adjacent the intermediate portion (4). |
