Title: Slide fastener stringer

Abstract: A stringer for a slide fastener has a coupling element formed from a continuous filament with superimposed leg portions and an attaching member. An elongated flexible member extending parallel the attaching member and between the superimposed leg portions is gripped by a groove, a tooth, or the like formed on one leg portion of each pair of leg portions to restrain longitudinal and transverse movement of the leg portions relative to the elongated member. Thread means secures the coupling element and elongated member to one side of the tape by extending over the elongated member or over the one leg portion only between the superimposed leg portions. The elongated member provides dimensional stability to the coupling element.
