<p>An apparatus for sewing a slide fastener (1) to a pair of fabric pieces (7, 7) is provided with a slider-moving unit (21) for coupling a pair of opposed stringers (4, 4) of the slide fastener (1) immediately after the opposed stringers (4, 4) have been sewn to the respective fabric pieces (7, 7). The slider-moving unit (21) includes a slider-holding mechanism disposed downstream of a sewing station (14) and reciprocable for pulling a slider (5) on the slide fastener (1) away from the sewing station (14), and a brake (75) disposed adjacent to an upstream end of the reciprocating movement of the slider-holding mechanism for retaining a bottom end of the slide fastener (1) while the slider (5) is being pulled by the slider-holding mechanism.</p> |
