Abstract

A method for sewing a slide fastener includes forming end edge portion needle drop points in at least two positions, within an overlapped portion in which the work piece is folded, within a range more toward a tip side of an end edge portion of the work piece than half of an overlapped width, and within a range on an inner side of a width of a leg portion of an interlocking element. Sewing is performed with sewing thread passing from a head portion needle drop point to the end edge portion needle drop point of one end portion and sewing thread passing from the end edge portion needle drop point of another end portion to the head portion needle drop point of an adjacent interlocking element each passing either side of the leg portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for sewing a slide fastener to sew an interlocking element linked member of the slide fastener to an end edge portion of a work piece, the slide fastener including the interlocking element linked member in which a plurality of interlocking elements are linked with a string portion, the interlocking element including a leg portion supported by the string portion and a head portion which interlocks with an interlocking element of another interlocking element linked member as a pair and which projects from the leg portion, and the sewing method comprising:
by sewing, forming a head portion needle drop point on a head portion side of the interlocking element with relation to the string portion and end edge portion needle drop points on an end edge portion side of the work piece with relation to the string portion, the end edge portion needle drop points being provided in at least two positions, the at least two positions comprising a first end portion and a second end portion, and the first end portion and the second end portion being provided within an overlapped portion at which the work piece is folded, within a range toward a tip side of the end edge portion relative to a position that is half of an overlapped width in the overlapped portion along a projecting direction of the head portion of the interlocking element, and within a range on an inner side of a width of the leg portion of the interlocking element in a longitudinal direction of the string portion; and
sewing in which sewing thread passing from the head portion needle drop point to the end edge portion needle drop point of the first end portion and sewing thread passing from the end edge portion needle drop point of the second end portion to the head portion needle drop point of an adjacent interlocking element each pass a respective one of sides of the leg portion of the interlocking element in the longitudinal direction of the string portion.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:
the slide fastener includes a pair of interlocking element linked members and a slider which links and separates the pair of interlocking element linked members, and
the end edge portion needle drop point provided in the first end portion and the end edge portion needle drop point provided in the second end portion are provided within a range in which the slider passes over the work piece.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein a stitch of the sewing is formed by a stitch of lock stitching.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a stitch of the sewing is formed by a stitch of lock stitching.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the stitch of the lock stitching is formed by zigzag sewing.

6. A method for sewing a slide fastener to sew an interlocking element linked member of the slide fastener to an end edge portion of a work piece, the slide fastener including the interlocking element linked member in which a plurality of interlocking elements are linked with a string portion, the interlocking element including a leg portion supported by the string portion and a head portion which interlocks with an interlocking element of another interlocking element linked member as a pair and which projects from the leg portion, and the sewing method comprising:
by sewing, forming a head portion needle drop point on a head portion side of the interlocking element with relation to the string portion and end edge portion needle drop points on an end edge portion side of the work piece with relation to the string portion, the end edge portion needle drop points being provided in positions comprising (i) two positions comprising a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion and the second end portion being provided in a range on an inner side of a width of the leg portion of the interlocking element in the longitudinal direction of the string portion, and (ii) a position which is in a range farther from the interlocking element than the first and second end portions and which is in the range on the inner side of the width of the leg portion of the interlocking element; and
sewing in which sewing thread from the head portion needle drop point to the end edge portion needle drop point provided in the first end portion and sewing thread from the end edge portion needle drop point provided in the second end portion to the head portion needle drop point of an adjacent interlocking element each pass a respective one of sides of the leg portion of the interlocking element in a longitudinal direction of the string portion.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the end edge needle drop point is within an overlapped portion at which the work piece is folded.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein:
the slide fastener includes a pair of interlocking element linked members and a slider which links and separates the pair of interlocking element linked members, and
the end edge portion needle drop point provided in the first end portion and the end edge portion needle drop point provided in the second end portion are provided within a range in which the slider passes over the work piece.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein a stitch of the sewing is formed by a stitch of lock stitching.

10. The method according to claim 6 , wherein:
the slide fastener includes a pair of interlocking element linked members and a slider which links and separates the pair of interlocking element linked members, and
the end edge portion needle drop point provided in the first end portion and the end edge portion needle drop point provided in the second end portion are provided within a range in which the slider passes over the work piece.

11. The method according to claim 6 , wherein a stitch of the sewing is formed by a stitch of lock stitching.

12. A slide fastener product comprising:
a slide fastener including:
a pair of interlocking element linked members in which a plurality of interlocking elements are linked with a string portion; and
a slider in which the pair of interlocking element linked members are linked and separated, and

a work piece including an end edge portion,
wherein:
each interlocking element linked member in the pair of interlocking element linked members is sewn separately in one of two positions of the end edge portion,
the interlocking element includes a leg portion supported by the string portion and a head portion which interlocks with an interlocking element of another interlocking element linked member as a pair and which projects from the leg portion,
a head portion needle drop point is formed by sewing on a head portion side of the interlocking element with relation to the string portion and end edge portion needle drop points are formed by sewing on an end edge portion side of the work piece with relation to the string portion,
the end edge portion needle drop points are provided in at least two positions, the at least two positions comprising a first end portion and a second end portion, and the first end portion and the second end portion being provided within an overlapped portion at which the work piece is folded, within a range toward a tip side of the end edge portion relative to a position that is half of an overlapped width in the overlapped portion along a projecting direction of the head portion of the interlocking element, and within a range on an inner side of a width of the leg portion of the interlocking element in a longitudinal direction of the string portion, and
sewing thread passing from the head portion needle drop point to the end edge portion needle drop point of the first end portion and sewing thread passing from the
