<p>A separable slide fastener has a pair of warp-knit stringer tapes each with a series of openings for easy attachment to a knit fabric. Each of the stringer tapes includes a reinforcement film bonded to a lower end portion thereof and having a recess which allows some of the tape openings to be exposed for use in attachment to the knit fabric. The recess may be covered with a thin layer penetratable by knitting needles. A separable bottom end stop is injection-molded on the reinforcement films bonded to the stringer tapes. The advance in the art is that the separable slide fastener of the present invention is less susceptible to becoming puckered or wavy. When attached to a knit fabric, the fastener is relatively free from being adversely effected by the stretching of the knit fabric. method of attaching a slide fastener stringer to a knit fabric, comprising the steps of: providing a slide fastener stringer having two tape webs spaced from each other and interconnected by a plurality of longitudinally spaced transverse thread portions; looping said transverse thread portions with a row of loops which constitute a course of a knit fabric; and thereafter, knitting said knit fabric so as to form successive courses. The present invention also provides, in general terms, a method of attaching a slide fastener stringer to a knit fabric on a knitting machine, comprising the steps of: providing a slide fastener stringer having a series of longitudinally arranged openings therein; inserting a series of knitting needles of a knitting machine into said openings in the stringer; and thereafter, knitting a fabric on said knitting needles so as to form successive courses. The present invention can generally be defined also as relating to a method of attaching a slide fastener stringer to a knit fabric comprising the steps of: providing a slide fastener stringer having a series of longitudinally arranged openings therein, a separable bottom end stop member, and a reinforced end portion adjacent to said separable bottom end stop member; inserting a series of knitting needles of a knitting machine successively into said openings in said stringer while the stringer is being tensioned with one of the knitting needles being held against said reinforced end portion; and thereafter, knitting a fabric or said knitting needles so as to form successive course.</p> |
