Abstract
A slide fastener includes rows of elements arranged so as to face one another along edges of opening-closing ends of opposing fastener tapes; and a slider. The slide fastener can be interposed between a powered device on an output side and a power supply unit and a signal unit on an input side so as to form an input-output line that activates the powered device with a closing operation of the slide fastener. The elements form a top holding section by bringing ends of element-upper-leg portions arranged so as to face one another closer to or away from one another; and a bottom holding section by bringing ends of element-lower-leg portions arranged to face one another closer to or away from one another in cooperation with interlock or separation of the interlock portions of the elements arranged to face one another, which form part of the input-output line.
