Abstract
A manually operative tool for attaching a coupling element to a concealed slide fastener lacking of one or more coupling elements and hence to be repaired. The tool includes a pair of relatively pivotable first and second members, each having at one end a handle. A lower jaw is secured to the other end of the first member and has at least two first recesses laterally spaced apart from one another by a predetermined distance equal to the element-to-element pitch of a concealed slide fastener to be repaired, each first recess being receptive of a prospective coupling element. An upper jaw is pivotally connected to the other end of the second member and has at its free end a second recess. The upper jaw is movable, in response to relative pivotal movement of the first and second members by manipulating their handles, between a retracted position in which both the prospective coupling element and the fastener stringer are allowed to be placed on the lower jaw, and an advanced position in which the second recess is engageable with a leg portion of the prospective coupling element to deform the leg portion so as to clench the coupling element about a longitudinal tape edge of the fastener stringer.
