METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SLIDE FASTENER

摘要

A method of manufacturing a slide fastener, which can efficiently accomodate various demands for slide fasteners, reduces an amount of scrapped fastener chain required for slide fasteners of the same kind as much as possible, and facilitates production control. The method comprises feeding a lengthy continuous fastener chain (Ch) from a supply section (10) irrespective of the number of slide fasteners which are planned to be manufactured, measuring the fastener chain (Ch) for each length of individual slide fasteners (SF) being manufactured by means of a measuring roll (31) to form space portions (SP), and after formation of as many space portions (SP) as the number of slide fasteners, automatically changing over to a fastener chain (Ch) of another kind in the supply section (10) to sequentially and continuously manufacture slide fasteners (SF) of many kinds in desired numbers. <IMAGE>
