A closure device for releasably connecting two parts with each other includes a first closure member having a rigid first locking protrusion and a second closure member which is attachable to the first closure member and in a closed position is held on the first closure member. The second closure member has a rigid second locking protrusion. The second locking protrusion can be brought into engagement with the first locking protrusion in an engagement direction and in the closed position engages the first locking protrusion in a positive locking manner. The first closure member includes a first magnetic member and the second closure member includes a second magnetic member, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member being constituted to magnetically attract each other when the second closure member is attached to the first closure member for closing the closure device.

In a slide fastener, a fastener tape is woven with a single-woven structure, and in the fastener tape, a double-woven region woven with a double-woven structure is formed along a tape longitudinal direction. An inner single-woven region and an outer single-woven region of the single-woven structure are formed at a tape inner edge side and a tape outer edge side of the double-woven region. Thus, even if the fastener tape makes contact with ridge line portions on a lower blade side of the slider when the slider is slid, weft yarns arranged in the double-woven region are less likely to be cut.

A fastener element for a slide fastener includes: a coupling portion; and one single root portion either including, or being plastically bendable to include, a bent portion and a distal end portion which extends from the bent portion towards a side of the coupling portion which is closer to the fastener tape. Each face of the coupling portion includes an engaging protrusion protruding in a lengthwise direction, and an engaging recess recessed in a lengthwise direction with respect to the face, and is configured for receiving an engaging protrusion of a fastener element on the opposite stringer in a closed condition of the slide fastener.

A slide fastener includes: a pair of stringers; and a slider. The pair of stringers include: a pair of tapes, a pair of element rows each including a plurality of elements, and an opener. At least one element row includes the elements of a plurality of types, and is classified into a neighboring class, and a remote class. Regarding an impact to be applied to the elements and the stop claw which collide inside the slider when a force for pulling out one of the element rows from the slider is applied to the one element row, the elements forming the remote class include strong elements of a type configured to strengthen the impact more than the elements forming the neighboring class. All of the elements forming the neighboring class are weak elements of a type configured to weaken the impact more than the strong elements.

A retractable enclosure zipper and a double-layer retractable enclosure zipper. The retractable enclosure zipper includes: a first zipper cloth, a second zipper cloth, a retractable cloth, and a support structure. The first zipper cloth is arranged with first zipper teeth, and the second zipper cloth is arranged with second zipper teeth; the retractable cloth is connected to the first zipper cloth and the second zipper cloth; the support structure is disposed close to the first zipper teeth and is disposed on an inner side of the retractable cloth; the support structure includes a supporting cloth and a support member; the supporting cloth and the retractable cloth enclose to define a receiving space, and the support member is disposed in the receiving space; a width of the support member is greater than or equal to a width of the first zipper teeth and the second zipper teeth when engaged.

A slide fastener-attached product includes a fastener stringer and a fastener-receiving member. The fastener stringer is attached to a stringer attachment edge of the fastener-receiving member with a sewn portion. The stringer attachment edge includes a double-layer portion including a first strip portion, a bent portion, and a second strip portion. The sewn portion is disposed away from a plurality of fastener elements, and the bent portion is disposed in contact with or closer to the fastener elements. A waterproof region is formed between the sewn portion and the fastener elements. In the slide fastener-attached product, exposure of the fastener tape in the region between the fastener-receiving member and the fastener elements can be prevented or reduced.
