Abstract
A slider for a fluid tight slide fastener that has upper and lower plates joined together by a guide post. A guide plate is formed on the guide post to cooperate with the upper and lower plates, to guide the coupling elements and sealing lips of the slide fastener into engagement in conjunction with side flanges on the upper and lower plates. The slider is integrally formed, such as by die casting or moulding. To facilitate moulding the guide plate may be thickened at its leading end and provided with a tapered edge, and connected to the upper plate by a web at its trailing end.
