In the fastener-chain-finishing apparatus (1), only a knockout (205) among plural members arranged below a fastener-chain-transfer path of a space-forming unit (200) can move up and down but all the other members are not movable. Consequently, the units below the chain-transfer path can be compact. Further, main bodies (203b,206b) of movable grippers (203) and a punch (206) of the space-forming unit (200), which have a length equal to a space-forming length of the fastener chain (C) and are arranged above the chain-transfer path, have end surfaces that are exposed outside and are flush with each other at least on a side of a stopper-attaching unit (100) arranged adjacent to them. As a result, all the operating members of the space-forming unit (200) can be arranged so as to contact with the stopper-attaching members of the stopper-attaching unit (100). Therefore, it is possible to form a space on the slide fastener chain (C) to which particularly coil-shaped continuous coupling elements are attached by sewing thread, simultaneously with attachment of the stopper (S), which was conventionally impossible to achieve. <IMAGE> |
