Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0259587A1] 1. Method of removing coupling members (7) from a slide fastener having a pair of coupling member supporting bands (6), a spirally or meander shaped coupling members (7), each member includes a head section (13), a middle section (12) and a foot section (11), wherein the coupling members (7) are located at opposite longitudinal edges and coupled to each other, wherein one disengages said coupling members (7) and arranges said supporting band (6) vertical and symmetrically relative to a center plane (8), arranges one section of said supporting bands (6) such that their coupling members (7) are aligned with the path of a cutting member (5), positions the coupling members (7) which are to be removed relative to said cutting members (5), clamps the section of said supporting bands (6), clamps the head section (13) of said coupling members to be removed, cuts said coupling members (7) and pulls off the coupling members (7) clamped at their head section (13) in a direction away from said supporting members (6) in order to produce a coupling memberless section, characterized in that one positions the supporting bands (6) inclined relative to said center plane (8) and cuts the middle section (12) spaced from said supporting bands (6) in a lateral direction relative to the center plane (8) in the region of the weaving-in board in order to produce a coupling memberless section after pulling off said cut coupling members (7).
