Abstract
An apparatus for automatically manufacturing a bidirectionally openable slide fastener includes a pin attachment unit for attaching a pin to an end of one of a pair of slide fastener stringers, a pair of first and second slider attachment units for attaching first and second sliders, respectively, to the stringers, and a box pin attachment unit for attaching a box pin to an end of the other slide fastener stringer. The slide fastener stringers are fed by a gripper mechanism along a feed path as the pin, the sliders, and the box pin are successively attached to the slide fastener stringers. Finally, the slide fastener stringers are cut off by a cutter unit into a bidirectionally openable slide fastener of a desired length.
