In both the process of linearly transporting the fastener stringer (2) based on direct contact between the two or more fastener elements (4) and the sewing machine foot (200), and the process of linearly transporting the fastener stringer (2) based on direct contact between the plastic member (10) and the sewing machine foot (200), the sewing machine foot (200) is in a state where it is placed on the fastener tape (3) of the fastener stringer (2). The plastic member (10) is a detachable fastener box, The box body includes a box bar (30) positioned adjacent to the fastener element (4) located at the end and inserted into the slider, and a box portion (20) having one or more restraining surfaces (16, 17) to which the box bar (30) is connected and which restrains the slider. The guide surface (11) includes one or more first guide regions formed on the box rod (30) and at least one second guide region formed on the box portion (20), wherein the at least one second guide region is formed to form a coplanar plane with the one or more first guide regions. The method wherein the guide surface (11) is the outer side surface in the width direction of the box body.
2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the box bar (30) has two flat surfaces (31a, 31c) arranged in the same straight line as the guide line (L1), and a concave surface (31b) formed between these flat surfaces (31a, 31c).
3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the length of the concave surface (31b) along the guide line (L1) is longer than the total length of the two flat surfaces (31a, 31c) along the guide line (L1).
4. The method according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the opposing surfaces of the butterfly rod (50) inserted into the receiving space of the box portion (20) and the box rod (30) are shaped at least partially complementary to each other.
5. The side edge of the fastener tape (3) includes at least one core cord (3c) to which the individual fastener elements (4) of the plurality of fastener elements (4) are fixed, and to which the box rod (30) and the box portion (20) are fixed. The box portion (20) has a first side surface (21) and a first inner surface (23) in which the core string (3c) is positioned, and the first inner surface (23) partially defines the receiving space for the butterfly rod (50). The method according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein, in the width direction of the fastener tape (3), the minimum distance between the center of the core cord (3c) and the first side surface (21) is smaller than the minimum distance between the center of the core cord (3c) and the first inner surface (23).
6. The method according to claim 5, satisfying 1.2 < (T / S) < 1.6, where S is the minimum distance between the center of the core cord (3c) and the first side surface (21), and T is the minimum distance between the center of the core cord (3c) and the first inner surface (23).
7. The box portion (20) has a first side surface (21) and a second side surface (22) provided on the opposite side from the first side surface (21), and the width (W20) of the box portion (20) is defined by the first side surface (21) and the second side surface (22). (i) The center line (C1) located at the center of the width (W20) of the box portion (20) defined by the first side (21) and the second side (22) is located away from the fastener tape (3) to a position where it does not intersect the box bar (30), and / or is located further away from the fastener tape (3) than the center line (CL) of the slide fastener (1) which includes the fastener stringer (2) as the first fastener stringer (2); and / or (ii) The method according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the first side surface (21) is located at a first distance from the center line (CL) of the slide fastener (1) which includes the fastener stringer (2) as the first fastener stringer (2), and the second side surface (22) is located at a second distance from the center line (CL) of the slide fastener (1), and the first distance is smaller than the second distance.
