Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a method for manufacturing a slide fastener. At least one of a pair of right and left fastener tapes and a pair of right and left fastener element rows is colored in a plurality of colors at a predetermined interval in a longitudinal direction by inkjet while the pair of right and left fastener element rows are engaged with each other to provide a fastener chain. The pair of right and left fastener element rows are disengaged. One of the pair of right and left fastener tapes is moved in the longitudinal direction. And then, the right and left fastener element rows are reengaged.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a slide fastener, the slide fastener comprising: a pair of right and left fastener tapes; a pair of right and left fastener element rows respectively provided on opposing tape side edge portions of the pair of right and left fastener tapes, each of the fastener element rows having a plurality of fastener elements; and a slider configured to engage and disengage the pair of right and left fastener element rows; the method comprising: coloring at least one of the pair of right and left fastener tapes and the pair of right and left fastener element rows in a plurality of colors at a predetermined interval in a longitudinal direction by inkjet while the pair of right and left fastener element rows are engaged with each other to provide a fastener chain; disengaging the pair of right and left fastener element rows; moving one of the pair of right and left fastener tapes in the longitudinal direction; and reengaging the right and left fastener element rows. 2. A method for manufacturing a slide fastener, the slide fastener comprising: a pair of right and left fastener tapes; a pair of right and left fastener element rows respectively provided on opposing tape side edge portions of the pair of right and left fastener tapes, each of the fastener element rows having a plurality of fastener elements; and a slider configured to engage and disengage the pair of right and left fastener element rows; the method comprising: coloring at least one of the pair of right and left fastener tapes and the pair of right and left fastener element rows in a plurality of colors at a predetermined interval in a longitudinal direction by transferring while the pair of right and left fastener element rows are engaged with each other to provide a fastener chain; disengaging the pair of right and left fastener element rows; moving one of the pair of right and left fastener tapes in the longitudinal direction; and reengaging the right and left fastener element rows.
