A double open end zipper for both end positioning-based luggage includes first and second housing members respectively equipped with an N-shaped plastic strip at the rim thereof, and a double open end zipper including first and second zipper tapes respectively stitched to the N-shaped plastic strips at the first and second housing members in reversed directions with the box and pin of the first zipper tape respectively disposed adjacent to the pin and box of the second zipper tape subject to the guidance of a mark line at each N-shaped plastic strip, a seam allowance constraint block located at an outer rear side of the box of each of the first and second zipper tapes, two zipper sliders respectively coupled to first and second zipper tapes, allowing adjustment of the combined storage capacity defined in between the first and second housing members.

A slider for slide fastener includes: a body including a pull tab attachment post; and a pull tab. The pull tab includes: a coupling member including an exposed portion and an embedded portion; and a pinching member including a first pinching portion including an annular end portion having an opening through which the embedded portion is to be inserted, and a second pinching portion provided to the first pinching portion with the embedded portion interposed therebetween. At least one of a front end surface and a rear end surface of the pull tab attachment post has a protrusion. And when the pull tab is tilted toward at least one of a front side and a rear side of the body, the protrusion locks the pull tab to restrict rotation of the pull tab.

A slide fastener-attached product has a first element member in which an insert pin portion is attached to a fixing member, a second element member in which a box portion is attached to a fixing member and fastener attached members having a pair of element attaching edge portions in a position facing to each other. The first element member and the second element member have an element holding portion and a component holding portion in which the insert pin portion or the box portion is attached with respect to the length direction of the fixing member, and at least the component holding portion is fixed to the element attaching edge portion of the fastener attached member with a component sewn portion which is formed of sewing threads and pierces the fastener attached member. The product provides weight saving, improved softness, and an easily separable rear end stop.

A first stop member includes a first base and a first insert that is positioned between the first base and a first fastener element and is inserted into the slider via a rear mouth of a slider. A second stop member includes a second base and a second insert that is positioned between the second base and a second fastener element and is inserted into the slider via a second slit of the slider. The second insert moves toward the second slit of the slider in accordance with at least one or respective rotations of the first and second bases. A rotational axis with respect to the at least one or respective rotations of the first and second bases is positioned between the first tape region and the second tape region.

Slide fastener (1) includes a pair of fastener stringers (2), at least one slider (5) for opening and closing the pair of fastener stringers (2), and a stop member (6,7) attached to a side-edge (32) of a fastener tape (3) at a position adjacent to the series of fastener elements. The stop member (6,7) has at least one thinned portion (61,71) having a thickness lesser than a thickness of the fastener element (4) and/or at least one through-hole (68) extending through the stop member (6,7) in an up-down direction. The thinned portion (61,71) and/or the through-hole (68) is configured to allow the stop member (6,7) to be produced by remolding one or more fastener elements (4). Alternative conditions are also disclosed.
