(54) Slider for slide fastener


(57) A slide fastener with a pull rotated type slider, which allows starting operation of the slider to be executed smoothly and easily. A U-shaped guide lever (10), which allows the pull (7) to move around, is disposed along a top face, a front face and a bottom face of a body (9) of the slider. The U-shaped guide lever (10) includes a pull guide portion (11) with T-shaped section provided on a part thereof and a guide face (12) for an upper stopper (4) is formed in an inner edge of the pull guide portion (11) disposed on the front face of the body (9) by forming a portion which the upper stopper (4) mounted on a fastener chain (1) comes into sliding contact with, in an arc face or an inclined face. Consequently, even if the U-shaped guide lever (10) and the upper stopper (4) come into contact with each other, the upper stopper (4) can be guided smoothly by the guide face (12), thereby the slider being started easily.
