A slider garage includes an overmolded body, the overmolded body oriented on a zipper, the overmolded body including an overmolded male portion and an overmolded female portion, the overmolded male and female portions positioned on an end of the zipper, such that each is on one side of the zipper, the overmolded male portion being shaped such that it fits in the overmolded female portion in a watertight fashion. Optionally, the zipper includes a male side and a female side, and the overmolded male portion is positioned on the male side of the zipper and the overmolded female portion is positioned on the female side of the zipper.

The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a watertight zipper for solving the problem of production difficulties. A method for manufacturing a watertight zipper according to the present disclosure includes: forming a waterproof tape by extruding a polymeric material in melted state wrapping around an outer surface of a cloth tape, cutting a side of the waterproof tape that is covered by the thick waterproof layer by laser to form a side surface of the thick waterproof layer in a plane form as an abutting surface, forming a plurality of apertures at the waterproof tape, wherein each of the plurality of apertures extends through the cloth tape and the thick waterproof layer, and forming a plurality of scoops corresponding to the plurality of apertures by injection molding. The waterproof tape includes a thick waterproof layer and a thin waterproof layer both formed by the polymeric material in solidified state. The thick waterproof layer covers a side surface, an upper surface and a lower surface of the cloth tape. The thin waterproof layer connects with the thick waterproof layer. Each of the plurality of scoops spaces from the thin waterproof layer. An end of each of the plurality of scoops extends beyond the abutting surface of the thick waterproof layer.

The present device provides a slide assembly for a zipper, and a method for manufacturing a zipper slide assembly. The slider assembly is formed in a single die cast operation to include the slider and the pull member being formed simultaneously. Whereby the bridge and pull loop are formed with their full geometric shape and without converging flat surfaces caused by tooling limitations found in the prior art.

A molded-teeth slide fastener tape for use in a slide fastener assembly includes a woven portion and a plurality of resin-based teeth. The woven portion includes a cord arranged along an edge thereof and a plurality of spaced-apart perforations, disposed adjacent to the cord, which pass completely through the woven portion. Each of the plurality of resin-based teeth is integrally molded to the woven portion along the cord. Each molded tooth encompasses at least a portion of at least one of the spaced-apart perforations so that each molded tooth extends through the at least one of the spaced-apart perforations and fully around a cross-sectional shape of the cord.

A fastener stringer includes a row of elements on which cured coating film is formed at sites where it is difficult to be coated by a roll coating method, preferably over the entire exposed surface, without incorporating any conductive wire in a fastener tape. A fastener stringer includes a row of elements and a fastener tape, at least one side edge of the fastener tape having insulation properties, the row of the elements being attached to the one side edge of the fastener tape, wherein each element includes a pair of leg portions and a head portion, the head portion having an engaging region for engaging with an opposing element when constructing a fastener chain, and wherein cured coating film is formed at least at a center portion in a front and back direction of the fastener tape on an end surface of the head portions.

A marking device performs a marking process onto a long object. The marking device includes a driving source and a marking unit that performs a circular motion in accordance with a driving force supplied from the driving source. While the long object is being transferred, marks are applied onto the long object in accordance with the circular motion of the marking unit. An extent of interference by the marking unit to the transfer of the long object is reduced, thus facilitating higher speed transfer of the long object.

A method for manufacturing a fastener stringer according to the present invention, include a dyeing step for dyeing a fastener stringer including an element row fixed to a side edge portion of a tape made of fiber, a dye cleaning step for removing excess dye from the fastener stringer, a water repellent treatment step for adhering a non-fluorine-based water repellent agent to the fastener stringer, and a pre-dyeing degreasing step for degreasing oil and fat adhered to the fastener stringer by a wet process.
