METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING WOVEN SLIDE FASTENER STRINGERS

摘要

A method and apparatus for manufacturing a woven slide fastener stringer having a row of coupling elements woven integrally into a woven stringer tape as the latter is woven. An element-forming filamentary material is displaced away from warp threads of the stringer tape and is coiled by and around a hook which moves remotely from the warp threads without interference therewith. A woven slide fastener stringer produced by the method and apparatus has a row of coupling elements stably fixed in position to a stringer tape by a binding warp thread system having a pattern similar to a row of sewing stitches.
