A warp-knit elongate structure is provided which has a pair of spaced warp-knit elongate webs and a plurality of transverse thread portions spaced longitudinally of and interconnecting the warp-knit elongate webs. The shape of the warp-knit structure is corrected into a ladder-like structure and then is introduced into an elongate mold cavity, in which synthetic resin is molded around the portion of the warp-knit webs and the transverse thread portion which are disposed in the mold cavity. A molded product that constitutes a portion of a coupling element assembly is separated from the mold cavity, and is bent about its transverse central axis into the shape of a U. A guide drum is disposed adjacent to a molding wheel for guiding the warp-knit structure onto the molding wheel and for rectifying the shape of the warp-knit structure into a ladder-like structure. |
