A zipper-type circuit fabric and smart clothes composed thereof include a clothes body. The clothes body is made of waterproof conductive fabric body. The waterproof conductive fabric body includes a plurality of conductive wires and conductive contacts. Rectangular elongated conductive media and folded conductive media are arranged inside the conductive wires so that the conductive media are stable and ductile. The clothes body is further provided with a waterproof zipper body. The zipper teeth on the waterproof zipper body are all electrically connected to the conductive wires. When the zipper body is closed, a metal probe on a zipper tooth is placed into a connecting slot so that the left and right sides of the clothes body form a closed circuit. The clothes body can be connected to glove bodies and includes a plurality of flexible sensors internally.

In the sector of the production of customized zipper tapes for application on items of apparel and accessories, disclosed is a process for the production of a woven tape with weft effect using a jacquard loom which permits control of each thread of the weft, warp and cord so that the design is not subject to limitations of repetition and length.

A knitted fastener stringer has a chain stich yarn disposed on the innermost edge wale furthest from the tape body portion of an element attaching portion is the thickest of all the chain stich yarns used in a fastener tape. This enables a distance of a gap formed between left and right fastener tapes to be smaller when a slide fastener is formed by two knitted fastener stringers.

A slide fastener tape is provided. The slide fastener tape extends in a longitudinal direction. The slide fastener includes a weave structure formed with warp threads arranged in the longitudinal direction, and weft threads arranged along a transversal direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The slide fastener tape includes a cord arranged along one side edge portion of the fastener tape. The weft threads are made from filament yarns and the warp threads comprise a plurality of threads made from spun yarn.

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 fastener stringer has a fastener tape provided with a tape main body portion and an element attaching portion and a plurality of fastener elements fixed by weaving to the element attaching portion of the fastener tape at the same time of weaving of the fastener tape, and is provided with a weaving structure with one pitch per one-rotation. A weft yarn of the fastener tape has a fineness larger than that of at least a part of a warp yarns disposed in the tape main body portion. Thereby, the productivity of the fastener stringer can be increased to reduce the cost. Further, the density of the weft yarn in the fastener tape can be increased, and the fastener tape can be less likely to be misaligned.

Fastener tape is woven from a weft thread and warp threads both of which are threads with a main attribute. The fastener tape includes: first and second side-edges extending along an elongation direction of the fastener tape to define a fastener tape width; and a tape main portion interposed between the first and second side-edges. The tape main portion includes an identification region woven by plural warp threads and the weft thread interlaced with one another, the identification region having an identification region width which is a partial width of an entire width of the fastener tape width and is a width in accordance with a number of the plural warp threads. Structure of the identification region is configured to allow identification that the weft thread and the warp threads are with the main attribute and/or to allow identification of a sub-attribute subdivided from the main attribute.
