Abstract
In a separable bottom end stop assembly for a concealed slide fastener, a socket member has first- and second-plug-member insertion holes on opposite sides of a central catch plate, and an engaging tongue projecting inwardly from one side wall. When a first plug member is inserted into the socket member, a locking portion on one side of a lower end of the first plug member comes into locking engagement with the catch plate and an engaging portion on the other side of the lower end of the first plug member comes into engagement with the engaing tongue. With continued inserting of the first plug member, an inwardly directed hook-shape end of an engaging projection extending from an upper end of the socket member comes into engagement with an engaging recess in a rear wall of a slider. In this state, a second plug member is inserted into the second-plug-member insertion hole, and a slider is then pulled so as to move the socket member in a predetermined range, whereupon only the slider is pulled to join the opposed stringers together. To separate the closed stringers, the slider is pulled to push the socket member down, and then the second plug member is removed from the socket member and the slider.
