<p>In a slide fastener (1) according to the invention, each fastener element (10, 10', 30, 40) includes an upper half element portion (11, 31, 41) disposed at a first surface side of a fastener tape (2) and a lower half element portion (21) disposed at a second surface side of the fastener tape (2). The upper half element portion (11, 31, 41) includes a first tape-sandwiching portion (12, 32, 42) and a first head portion (13, 13', 33, 43) of a tapered form that extends from the first tape-sandwiching portion (12, 32, 42). The upper half element portion (11, 31, 41) has a tapered portion (14, 34, 44) that gradually decreases in a dimension between front and rear side surfaces, in the tape length direction, of at least the first tape-sandwiching portion (12, 32, 42) as it goes upward. According to the slide fastener (1) of the invention, each fastener element (10, 10', 30, 40) can be formed lightweight, and the fastener element (10, 10', 30, 40) can be given an appearance looking like a metal fastener element.</p> |
