Abstract
A coupling element for slide fastener is formed from a monofilamentary material such as polyester, nylon and like thermoplastic resins into a continuous meandering or zig-zag structure having a substantially semi-circular transverse cross-section, the coupling element having a coupling head, an upper leg and a lower leg extending oppositely from said head in parallel spaced apart relation and a heel interconnecting each of the upper and lower legs. The heel is oriented by rotation through 90.degree. or 180.degree. and protrudes at least in part beyond the outer surface of the leg thereby providing increased surface area of the heel for sliding contact with a slider.
