Abstract
A woven slide fastener stringer comprising a woven stringer tape and a coupling element assembly woven into the tape along its one longitudinal edge. The assembly includes a row of coupling elements spaced along and molded around a connector. Each coupling element has a pair of grooves extending transversely through a pair of first and second leg portions, respectively, on their respective outer sides. A pair of anchor threads extend through the grooves of the first leg portions and through the grooves of the second leg portions, respectively, along the full length of the coupling element row. A weft thread of the tape has a plurality of loops each encircling the connector and the anchor threads between adjacent coupling elements. Each loop of the weft thread is open widely, perpendicularly of the general plane of the tape, urging the anchor threads toward one another between adjacent coupling elements to hold the individual coupling elements firmly in position.
