ABSTRACT:
An air/water-tight slide fastener has an end stop. The end stop has a flange portion extending therearoud. At least part of the flange is extensive enough to be integrally fixed to the opening edges of an opening formed in an article. Since the flange portion is firmly clamped by and between the air/water-tight fastener tape and the opening edges of the opening of the article; when the air/water-tight slide fastener is folded on itself; the excessive bending stresses exerted directly on the air/water-tight fastener tape is relaxed or mitigated. The air/water-tight fastener tape is thus prevented from being peeled off at that position.
