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.

An adaptable nursing garment designed to improve comfort and support during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The adaptable nursing garment is designed for one-handed operation to enable breastfeeding without removal of the strapless nursing garment. The adaptable nursing garment includes a nursing bra including a plurality of supports, a plurality of fasteners, and an elastic component.

The slide fastener has a separable bottom end stop, and the separable bottom end stop has at least an insert pin and a box pin. The insert pin has an escape portion provided with an inclined surface or a curved surface along which the thickness dimension of the insert pin decreases in the direction of the tape width toward the side edge that faces the box pin, the escape portion being positioned in the front-end corner portion of a first-surface of the insert pin, the corner portion being positioned along the edge that faces the box pin. This allows the escape portion of the insert pin to function as an interference prevention means, efficiently prevent chain failure in an element row when the slide fastener is bent into a U-shape, and maintain stable engaging.

A fastener stringer for a concealed slide fastener in which a knitted fastener tape has a tape main body portion and a doubled-tape portion that is formed by extending in a width direction from the tape main body portion and being folded back, wherein at least a chain stitch yarn is included in each wale forming the tape main body portion, and wales forming the doubled-tape portion have at least one wide wale having a second wale width that is greater than the first wale width of the wale forming the tape main body portion. The doubled-tape portion of the fastener tape can thereby be provided with superior flexibility.
