## Abstract

A surface bonding fastener includes first and second members that can be fastened with each other. Each of the first and second members includes a base sheet and a plurality of fastening units on and integrally molded with the base sheet. Each of the fastening units has first and second hooks. The first hook has a first body and a first hook portion. The second hook has a second body and a second hook portion. The first and second bodies are adjacent to each other in a transverse direction and integrally formed on the base sheet. The first and second hook portions are respectively extend from the first and second bodies and bended toward opposite directions. An overlapping degree between the first and second bodies in a longitudinal direction is configured to be determined by a desired fastening strength between the first and second members.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A surface bonding fastener, comprising:
first and second members capable of being fastened with each other, each of the first and second members comprising:
a base sheet; and
a plurality of fastening units on and integrally molded with the base sheet, the plurality of fastening units arranged at intervals in a longitudinal direction and staggered in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction,
each of the plurality of fastening units comprising:
a first hook having a first body extending from the base sheet and a first hook portion extending from the first body and bended toward a first direction; and
a second hook having a second body extending from the base sheet and a second hook portion extending from the second body and bended toward a second direction opposite to the first direction,
wherein the second body is directly adjacent to and in contact with the first body in the transverse direction and integrally formed with the first body,
wherein the first body and the second body only partly overlap with each other in the longitudinal direction at a position where the first body and the second body are connected with the base sheet, and an overlapping degree between the first body and the second body in the longitudinal direction is configured to be determined based on a desired fastening strength between the first member and the second member, and
wherein when the first member and the second member are fastened with each other, the first hook portions of the first member are configured to be engaged with the first hook portions of the second member, and the second hook portions of the first member are configured to be engaged with the second hook portions of the second member.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The surface bonding fastener of claim 1, wherein a transverse spacing between the two adjacent fastening units in the transverse direction is smaller than or equal to a transverse length of the fastening unit in the transverse direction.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The surface bonding fastener of claim 1, wherein a longitudinal spacing between the two adjacent fastening units in the longitudinal direction is smaller than a longitudinal length of the fastening unit in the longitudinal direction.
