<p>A slide fastener according to the invention includes a left-and-right pair of first and second fastener stringers (2a, 2b) having rows (3) of elements, a box pin (4, 82, 92) provided on the first fastener stringer (2a), an insert pin (5) provided on the second fastener stringer (2b), and a pair of first and second sliders (6a, 6b) arranged such that rear openings face each other. The first slider (6a) is arranged closer to the box pin (4, 82, 92) than the second slider (6b). The box pin (4, 82, 92) has a box pin body (41), a stopper portion (42) arranged at a front end side of the box pin body (41), and a ridge portion (43, 83) formed on at least one of upper and lower surfaces of the box pin body (41). Further, a chamfered portion (69b) gradually reducing a plate thickness of an upper wing plate (63) or a lower wing plate (64) toward the rear openings is formed on an inner surface of at least one of the upper and lower wing plates (63, 64) of the first slider (6a). The ridge portion (43, 83) is arranged at a position in close contact with the chamfered portion (69b) of the first slider (6a) when the first slider (6a) is stopped at the stopper portion (42). With this arrangement, when a user slides the first slider (6a) to a normal insert-pin inserting position, a contact feeling of "click" can be given to the user, and the user is made aware that the first slider (6a) moved to a predetermined position. As a result, it becomes possible to cause the user to be accustomed to securely slide the first slider (6a) to the normal insert-pin inserting position, and the user can smoothly perform a subsequent insert or extract operation of the insert pin (5).</p> |
