ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a separable bottom stop assembly which can be easily operated by children or people who are handicapped with one of their hands. A coupling member and a locking member respectively provided at lower ends of left and right fastener stringers are rotatably coupled together by fitting resilient leg portions of a coupling base portion of the coupling member into a hole portion of a coupling base portion of the locking member. Then, by pulling down a slider, a lower end portion of the slider urges a pivotal abutting portion of the coupling member to pivotally move a lateral-inserting fitting portion of the coupling member to a position where the slider can be pulled up. A locking projecting portion of the coupling member climbs over a projecting portion of the locking member to be locked so as to prevent separation of the coupling member in a horizontal direction. Therefore, it is possible to easily pull up the slider by a single hand to couple and close a slide fastener.
