Abstract
A method for forming a double-sided loop strap includes: receiving a continuous longitudinal strip of loop material including a strip-form base bearing a field of upstanding loops on a fastening side of the strip bounded by opposite longitudinal edges, folding each of the longitudinal edges away from the fastening side, such that the base overlaps itself, and securing the folded edges in place by permanently bonding together overlapped areas of the base to form the double-sided loop strap.
Claims11
A double-sided loop strap, comprising:
- a first side comprising a first loop-bearing surface;
- and
- a second side opposite the first side, the second side comprising a second loop-bearing surface and an adjacent grip area covered by a grip material forming an exposed grip surface,
- wherein the exposed grip surface is recessed below the second loop-bearing surface, and
- wherein the first loop-bearing surface is of a loop material forming one broad side of the strap opposite the grip surface, and the second loop-bearing surface is of a loop material having a longitudinal edge adjacent to the grip surface and secured by the grip material.
