Abstract

Slide-fastener stringers are made by extruding continuous strands of synthetic resin in a form having a plurality of cavities open on one side and defining the coupling head, shank and connecting portion of a multiplicity of coupling members which together form a coupling element adapted to be mounted along the edge of a support tape. An embossing tool is thrust into the connecting members and/or the shanks of the coupling members so as to plastically deform the thermoplastic material and produce humps along the surfaces of the coupling element which are thermally bonded to the support tape.
