Separable bottom stop assembly for slide fastener

摘要

A separable bottom stop assembly of thermoplastic resin comprising a box molded on a lower end of one of opposite slide fastener stringers and an insert pin molded on a lower end of the other fastener stringer. The box has a straight insert-pin receiving hole off to one side. An outer wall of the insert-pin hole has a side slit having at its lower end a stopper. The insert pin is taper toward its lower end and has a straight tape-side edge. A guide ridge is integrally formed with the insert pin with a thin portion between them. When the insert pin is inserted into the insert-pin hole of the box, a lower end of the guide ridge slides along edges of the side slit, guiding insertion of the insert pin to facilitate smooth insertion without exerting load on the insert pin./!
