<p>A fastener chain to which a method of the invention is applicable includes space portions where no element is present which are provided at regular intervals along continuous interlocking element trains, and sliders each of which has a pull and is inserted in each length of the element trains lying between two adjacent space portions. The fastener chain is fed in the horizontal direction in the state wherein the bottom stop of each slide fastener section is disposed forwardly of the upper stop of the same fastener section in terms of the feeding direction, and is cut into individual slide fasteners at each of the space portions. The method comprises the steps of feeding the fastener chain to a cutting device in the state wherein the side of the fastener chain on which the pull of the slider inserted in the fastener chain is located faces downwardly and the slider is in contact with or in close proximity to the upper stop, and hanging the pull in such a manner as to be parallel to the working direction of the cutting device when the space portion reaches the cutting device.</p> |
