Further, according to the zipper assembly device 10 of the present embodiment, the slider holder 51A of the first slider mounting device 50A and the slider holder 51B of the second slider mounting device 50B are respectively provided to be vertically movable and rotatably driven. Therefore, it can correspond to the assembly of a plurality of zippers SF. For example, the slider SF shown in FIG. 18 can be assembled by rotating the slider holder 51A and the slider holder 51B forward and backward, and by sliding the second slider mounting device 50B. The fastener 51B is in a stopped state without being driven up and down, whereby the slide fastener SF shown in Fig. 19 can be assembled. Further, in the case of the slide fastener SF shown in Fig. 18, since the second stopper portion is of the left-right separation type, it is necessary to change the stopper attachment device 60 to the left-right separation type.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be appropriately modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

For example, the discharge gripper 70 that discharges the zipper SF may be removed, and the second gripper 40 may be used to discharge the zipper SF.

Further, instead of discharging the discharge gripper 70 of the zipper SF, the zipper SF may be discharged by a roller device including a drive roller and a guide roller.

Further, the first roller device 80, the first chain storage portion 90, the second chain storage portion 110, and the second roller device 100 may be removed.

Further, in the case where the fastener chain C2 is short, the driving roller 81 of the first roller device 80 and the driving roller 101 of the second roller device 100 may not be driven, but only the first one may be used. The holder 20 and the second holder 40 transfer the fastener chain C2.

Further, in the present embodiment, the second gripper 40 that transports the fastener chain C2 can be removed, and the fastener stringer C2 can be transferred by the first gripper 20. In this case, the first gripper 20 transfers the continuous fastener chain C1 to a predetermined position on the downstream side of the first roller device 80, and cuts the continuous fastener chain C1 into a fastener chain C2 of a predetermined length by the cutting device 30. . Further, the cut fastener chain C2 is directly transferred to the downstream side by the first holder 20, and the first slider S1 and the second slider are slid by the first slider mounting device 50A and the second slider mounting device 50B. The piece S2 is mounted on the zipper chain C2. Then, the fastener chain C2 to which the first slider S1 and the second slider S2 are attached is directly transferred to the stopper mounting device 60 on the downstream side by the first holder 20, and is replaced by the stopper mounting device 60. The second stopper P2 is attached to the fastener chain C2. Further, in this case, the discharge gripper 70 may be removed, and on the downstream side of the stopper mounting device 60, a roller device that discharges the slide fastener SF including the drive roller 101 and the guide roller 102 may be provided. The second roller device 100 has the same configuration.

Further, in the present embodiment, a metal stopper is attached to the fastener chain. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a resin stopper may be attached. Further, in the case of the stopper portion made of a resin, the molding resin is attached to the side edge portion of the fastener tape of the right and left fastener tapes. More specifically, a fixed mold is disposed on one side of the fastener tape, and a movable mold is disposed on the other surface side of the fastener tape, and after the fastener tape is sandwiched between the two molds, the molten resin flows into the cavity of the two molds. Thereby, the stopper is injection molded.
