A slide fastener slider includes: a lower member; an upper member; a cover; and a pull tab. The lower member includes a lower blade, a guide column, an upper plate portion, and an attachment column. The upper member includes a flat plate portion, an opening portion, and a placement portion. The cover includes, at an end portion thereof in the front and rear direction, an engaging portion engaged with an engaged portion provided on the attachment column. A shaft portion provided at one end of the pull tab is disposed in a space formed between the upper plate portion and the cover. The placement portion is sandwiched between the engaging portion of the cover and the upper plate portion by attaching the cover to the attachment column by engaging the engaging portion of the cover with the engaged portion of the attachment column.

First claim

1 . A slide fastener slider comprising: a lower member; an upper member provided above the lower member so as to face the lower member;
a cover attached above the upper member; and a pull tab held between the upper member and the cover, wherein the lower member includes a lower blade, a guide column provided at a front end portion of the lower blade, an upper plate portion connected to the guide column and extending in a front and rear direction so as to face the lower blade, and an attachment column provided on the upper plate portion, the upper member includes a flat plate portion facing the lower blade and forming an upper blade together with the upper plate portion, an opening portion that is formed on the flat plate portion and that allows the attachment column to be inserted therethrough, and a placement portion that is formed in the flat plate portion and that is placed on the upper plate portion, the cover includes, at an end portion thereof in the front and rear direction, an engaging portion engaged with an engaged portion provided on the attachment column inserted through the opening portion so as to protrude upward from the flat plate portion, a shaft portion provided at one end of the pull tab is disposed in a space formed between the upper plate portion and the cover, and the placement portion is sandwiched between the engaging portion of the cover and the upper plate portion by attaching the cover to the attachment column by engaging the engaging portion of the cover with the engaged portion of the attachment column.

2 . The slide fastener slider according to claim 1 , wherein the upper member is formed with the one opening portion extending in the front and rear direction of the flat plate portion.

3 . The slide fastener slider according to claim 1 , wherein
