<p>The present invention provides a slide fastener in which a broken part of a coupling element is not separated easily at the time of a forced cleavage when an airbag is expanded and having an excellent appearance. In the slide fastener (110) in which coupling elements (12, 113) each having a first leg portion and a second leg portion (72; 73) which are forked and extended from a coupling head (70) are sewed to a fastener tape (16, 17) thereof, a V-shaped cutout portion is formed at a single position in the range from a sewing line (84) on a first sewing portion (74) of the first leg portion (72) up to a sewing line (85) on a second sewing portion (75) via a coupling head (70) so as to form a vulnerable portion (80) whose breaking resistance is weakened. Consequently, even if an excessive lateral pulling force is applied to the slide fastener (110), so that the coupling element (12) is broken at the vulnerable portion (80), a broken part of the coupling element (12) is held on the fastener tape (16, 17).</p> |
