Abstract
A slide fastener which permits easy attachment of electric conductors and ensures supply of electric current to all metallic coupling elements even if a part of the electric conductors is cut off. And it has a neat appearance because the electric conductors exposed in spaces among the coupling elements do not look unsightly. In the slide fastener having a fastener tape, a core cord and metallic coupling elements disposed along a longitudinal edge of one side of the fastener tape, a plurality of electric conductors are used as a part of warps of the fastener tape, and the exposed portions of the electric conductors are shifted one another in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the electric conductors are substantially continuously exposed on the front surface of the fastener tape along the outer edge of the core cord and weaved in the fastener tape body.
