Disclosed is a slider (1, 2, 3) wherein a catch fixing rod (20, 50, 80) is formed in a cantilevered state integrally with the upper blade (11, 41, 71) of the slider body (10, 40, 70), and a blocking member (30, 60, 90) for blocking an
insertion gap (25, 55, 85) formed between the upper blade (11, 41, 71) and the free end (23, 53, 83) of the catch fixing rod (20, 50, 80) is mounted on the mounting portion of the slider body (10, 40, 70) and fixed in place immovably. The slider (1, 2, 3) is provided with a block holding structure which can prevent other member from entering the
insertion gap (25, 55, 85) by holding the block state thereof at the time of fixing the blocking member (30, 60, 90). The slider (1, 2, 3) can thereby fix a catch (5) later to the catch fixing rod (20, 50, 80) arranged on the slider body (10, 40, 70) easily. Furthermore, block state of the
insertion gap (25, 55, 85) is held by the block holding structure after the catch (5) is fixed and the blocking member (30, 60, 90) is fixed to the slider body (10, 40, 70). Consequently, other member such as a piece of thin cloth can be prevented reliably from entering and being caught between the upper blade (11, 41, 71) and the free end (23, 53, 83) of the catch fixing rod (20, 50, 80).
