Abstract From the Canadian patent

A stretchable slide fastener includes a pair of stretchable stringer tapes each having a longitudinal edge and a row of coupling elements mounted on the longitudinal edge at a pitch. The pitch of the row of coupling elements is variable as the longitudinal edge is stretched. Each of the coupling elements includes a coupling head having a height, and at least the longitudinal edge being longitudinally stretchable by at least 10 % such that the pitch of the coupling elements remains smaller than an interval which is twice the height of the coupling head.
