According to the fastener chain, method and apparatus for forming ends thereof, coil-shaped fastener elements (11) as linear fastener elements (1) are attached and sewed to side edge portions (5) of a pair of fastener tapes (2) with sewing yarns (15) as fixing yarns (4) while a core thread (3) is inserted through the fastener elements (1). The coil-shaped fastener elements (1) are cut off at leg portions (22), each of which is in contact with the fastener tape (2), at ends of the fastener elements (1), so that cut end portions (7) are formed. These cut end portions (7) are pushed inward of the side edge portions (5), and then, the leg portions (22) and inverted portions (23) thereof are fused to the fastener tapes (2) by heating. As a result, a form of each end of the fastener elements (1) is stabilized, so that the resultant slide fastener is good in safety. <IMAGE> |
