There is provided an article with a slide fastener affixed thereto. Each of a pair of element members has a plurality of single elements made of a synthetic resin and fixedly integrated and connected to at least one flexible connecting string-shaped member at an equal interval. A slider is formed with an element guide path between upper and lower blades. A fastener-attached member forms an opening and closing part of the article. The pair of element members are directly sewn to a first surface of the fastener-attached member by sewing threads. The element members and the fastener-attached member are inserted into the element guide path of the slider.

This invention allows loops to be readily replaced and costumes to be less damaged even when replacement is repeated. A loop attachment device for attaching a loop as a catch for a hook to a material subjected to attachment is provided, the device including: a penetration mechanism configured to cause a loop material to penetrate the material subjected to attachment from a plurality of points, the loop material being configured to be the loop; a bending mechanism configured to bend penetrating portions of the loop material penetrating from the plurality of penetration points in directions to meet each other; and a melting mechanism configured to melt meeting portions of the loop material bent by the bending mechanism to form the loop.

A method of securing a shirt collar to a shirt and shirt collar kit structured and arranged to instantly transform a button-less dress-shirt collar into a button-down collar. Useful in situations where a quick dress up is required for work or social occasions, thereby eliminating the fly-away collar phenomenon that diminishes one's appearance, and make any dress shirt immediately presentable, with or without a necktie. The Button Tags can also be used to eliminate gaps in the chest area.

According to the present disclosure, a method for securing a threaded fastener in a threaded hole includes directly applying a locking compound to at least a portion of threads to be mated on either the threaded fastener or the threaded hole. The locking compound includes a substantially pure, non-chromated aluminum pigmented compound suspended in a water-based inorganic binder with temperature resistance in excess of 900 degrees Fahrenheit (about 482 degrees Celsius). The threaded fastener is threaded into the threaded hole after applying the locking compound on the threads to be mated.

This invention relates to a fastener assembly and garment comprising same having a first fastener tape and a second fastener tape, and a first edge and a second edge, the first edge having a row of cooperating fastener elements mounted thereon; wherein the second edge of each of the first and second fastener tapes is folded parallel to its row of cooperating fastener elements such that when the fastener is closed, and a meshed area of fastener elements from the first and second fastener tapes is formed, i) the second edges of each of the first and second fastener tapes overlap, ii) the second edge of the first fastener tape fully covers the meshed area of fastening elements, and iii) the overlap of the second edge of the first fastener tape by the second edge of the second fastener tape extends past the meshed area of fastening elements.

A button mounting device includes: a button mounting unit that comprises a first die holding the button main body and a second die holding the button mounting tool; an intermediate material formation unit that forms an intermediate material, which is to be interposed between the button main body and the cloth or between the button mounting tool and the cloth, by cutting a strip-shaped sheet material; and an intermediate material transfer unit that transfers the intermediate material formed by the intermediate material formation unit to the button mounting unit to supply the first die or the second die.

This invention relates to a fastener assembly and a garment comprising same, comprising a first fastener tape and a second fastener tapes having a row of cooperating fastener elements mounted thereon attached to first and second closing tapes, the first and second closing tapes folded parallel to the row of cooperating fastener elements such that when the fastener is closed, and a meshed area of fastener elements from the first and second fastener tapes is formed, i) the external edges of each of the first and second closing tapes overlap, ii) the external edge of the first closing tape fully covers the meshed area of fastening elements, and iii) the overlap of the external edge of the first closing tape by the external edge of the second closing tape extends past the meshed area of fastening elements.

A button-fastening upper die includes a die body, a button-holding member and a cylindrical elastic member arranged between the die body and the button-holding member. By providing the elastic member with an annular recess recessed radially outward from the inner surface e.g. at the middle of the surface, the elastic member is sectioned into a thin-walled section located radially outward from the recess and two or more thick-walled sections remaining above and below the recess and the thin-walled section.
