Abstract
An article with a slide fastener in which when a tearing force is applied to an article provided with a slide fastener and a slider makes contact with an end stop, a connecting member having flexibility and connecting between rear faces of right and left fastener stringers is disposed at a position on a side of a fastener element near the end stop, at which the force is not transmitted directly to the slider, a covering tape for covering at least the end stop and the connecting member is disposed on a rear face of the article, so that fastener elements and end stop are blocked from being damaged or the fastener elements are prevented from being dropped out of a fastener tape by a tearing force, and the connecting member is prevented from being hooked or caught by the slider so as to always realize a smooth slider operation.
