A slider body of a slider includes a slider main member and a slider sub-member. The slider main member includes at least a portion of a first blade and at least a portion of a second blade which are connected to each other through a guide column. The slider sub-member includes a pair of first flange sections and is assembled with and fixed to the slider main member. The slider can easily be attached to a fastener chain. Since the slider stably has a predetermined distance between the first and second blades, it is possible to secure satisfactory sliding properties and operability of the slider.

The slide fastener attachment method includes: integrating, by welding or bonding, a fastener chain to which a segmented slider has not been attached and a fastener receiving member, and attaching the slider to the fastener chain after the integration. Thus, welding work operation efficiency is improved, and reduction of production cost can be expected.

A zipper assembly for a reclosable enclosure includes a first profile having a first elongated supporting element and first protruding intermeshing elements. The zipper assembly also may include a second profile having a second elongated supporting element and one or more second intermeshing elements protruding from the second elongated supporting element. The one or more first intermeshing elements may releasably interlock with the one or more second intermeshing elements to close the enclosure. Each of the first elongated supporting element and the second elongated supporting element may include a thicker portion and a thinner portion. The thicker portions of the first elongated supporting element and the second elongated supporting element may be coupled with one or more panels of the enclosure. The thicker portions of the first elongated supporting element and the second elongated supporting element may be disposed on a consumer side of the enclosure.

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.
