Abstract
Disclosed is a woven slide fastener including a row of fastener elements composed of a flat coil formed of a continuous monofilament, and a slide fastener tape having the row of fastener elements woven into a longitudinal side edge thereof. Each fastener element includes a coupling head and upper and lower leg portions joined thereto. Binding warp threads extend along the upper and lower sides of the fastener element row and are woven into the tape along with other warp threads and a weft thread to form a portion where the tape and fastener element row are mutually interwoven, thereby maintaining the perpendicularity of the leg portions with respect to the tape, the stability of the spacing between mutually adjacent ones of the fastener elements, and the smoothness with which the row of fastener elements is coupled with an opposing row of fastener elements.
