A fastener element for slide fasteners where the color and pattern change diversely with viewing angle. A coiled fastener element for slide fasteners that is to be furnished on a fastener tape, wherein the fastener element is provided with an engagement head, an upper leg, a lower leg, and inverting part for connecting the upper leg with the lower leg; a coating comprising at least one light-transmissive layer is formed on at least the upper leg; and the thickness of the light-permeable layer is formed so as to decrease gradually from the approximate top of the upper leg to the fastener tape side and so that the layer thickness near the top is at most about 50-1500 nm.

An air/water-tight slide fastener has an end stop. The end stop has a flange portion extending therearoud. At least part of the flange is extensive enough to be integrally fixed to the opening edges of an opening formed in an article. Since the flange portion is firmly clamped by and between the air/water-tight fastener tape and the opening edges of the opening of the article; when the air/water-tight slide fastener is folded on itself; the excessive bending stresses exerted directly on the air/water-tight fastener tape is relaxed or mitigated. The air/water-tight fastener tape is thus prevented from being peeled off at that position.

A flexible container for liquid transport made of a flexible material includes a top face portion, a bottom face portion, and a peripheral face portion connecting the top face portion and the bottom face portion. An air tight, water resistant slide fastener is openably/closably mounted to the peripheral face portion of the container. A liquid stirring port is provided at the top face portion, and a liquid injecting and ejecting port are provided at a lower end of a rear face portion of the peripheral face portion. Container suspending pieces and bottom face portion fixing pieces are mounted at the top face portion of the container and at four corners of the bottom face portion. During washing, the container can be washed reliably and efficiently while the inside of the spread out container can be visually checked by efficiently utilizing the air tight, water resistant slide fastener, liquid stirring port, liquid injecting and ejecting port, and container suspending pieces, and bottom face port fixing pieces. Thus, according to the present invention, washing, sterilizing and disinfecting treatments and thereafter drying treatment by heating can be performed efficiently, with the container having higher strength, higher air tightness and water resistance.

The separable bottom end stop assembly has male and female members engageable with and releasable from each other in a front-to-back direction thereof. A slide plate of the male member has an engagement leg portion projected therefrom, while a sliding plate of the female member has an engagement hole. Sliding surfaces are respectively formed at peripheries of the engagement leg portion and the engagement hole of the slide plates. Each of the slide surfaces is formed with steep incline surfaces and a gentle incline surface. With the cam mechanism, when the male member and the female member are pressed from both surfaces thereof, an insert plate disposed at one of the male member and the female member is automatically guided to an inside of the slider held by a holding portion disposed at the other of the male member and the female member, which simultaneously causes the slider to start moving.

Slider for slide fastener

An airtight waterproof slide fastener having a pair of fastener stringers in which a side edge of an airtight waterproof tape is bent so as to wrap and hold plurality of coupling elements having a coupling heads from a flange side thereof so as to form an engagement tooth holding portion having a substantially &OHgr;-shaped cross section and a peripheral face of that engagement tooth holding portion is nipped and fixed by means of a substantially U-shaped clamp element having of a pair of sheet-like nipping pieces. The clamp element is provided with stress-releasing portions between clamp elements for releasing tensile stress generated in a tape portion existing between side faces of the adjacent nipping pieces when the airtight waterproof tape is bent between the adjacent clamp elements, so as to secure air-tightness and not to be broken easily even if it is bent strongly in its longitudinal direction.

In an automatic lock slider for a concealed slide fastener, a fastener-element guide post of a slider body has an upper groove receiving a locking lever and a lower groove slidably receiving a sliding end of a pivoting release member. A spring mounted in the guide post acts on an actuating arm of the locking lever to urge a locking pawl of the locking lever to normally project into a fastener-element guide channel of the slider body. An ornamental knob attached to the pivoting release member covers exposed part of the slider body. As the knob is pulled to pivotally move the release member, the locking pawl is retracted from the guide channel.
