(57) A slide fastener stringer (1) having a continuous zigzag-shaped thermoplastic molded
coupling element strip (3). The strip (3) includes a succession of spaced coupling
elements (5), each having a pair of first and second legs (9,10) extending from a
head (8) in a common direction. A plurality of first and second solid connecting portions
(6,7) is disposed alternately at opposite sides of the strip (3) and extends one between
each adjacent pair of the coupling elements (5). The individual connecting portions
(6,7) are moresiender than the coupling element legs (9,10). The two adjacent legs
(9,9), (10, 10) interconnected by each connecting portion (6), (7) terminate in a
combined broad foot with opposite corners or ends (9b, 9b), (10b, 10b) thereof substantially
squared and thus not chamfered.
