Touch fastener part

A touch fastener, comprising:

• a first substrate tape having hooking elements arranged on a first side of the first substrate tape and having a second side opposite the first side;
• a first side of a second substrate tape being connected on the second side of the first substrate tape, the second substrate tape having a second side opposite the first side of the second substrate tape, the second substrate tape being wider than the first substrate tape with a first free lateral edge area of the second substrate tape projecting beyond an adjacent longitudinal edge of the first substrate tape;
• connectors on the second side of the second substrate tape;
• and
• a weakening of resistance in the first free lateral edge area of the second substrate tape facilitating bending of the first and second substrate tapes transversely and laterally relative to a longitudinal axis of the first and second substrate tapes, the first and second substrate tapes being divided into individual insular touch fastener segments interconnected adjacent to one another at points of the weakening of resistance along the longitudinal axis via articulation points such that the hooking elements and the connectors extend from one of the touch fastener segments to an adjacent one of the touch fastener segments beyond the respective articulation point.

A touch fastener, comprising:

• a first substrate tape having hooking elements arranged on a first side of the first substrate tape and having a second side opposite the first side;
• a first side of a second substrate tape being connected on the second side of the first substrate tape, the second substrate tape having a second side opposite the first side of the second substrate tape, the second substrate tape being wider than the first substrate tape with a first free lateral edge area of the second substrate tape projecting beyond an adjacent longitudinal edge of the first substrate tape;
• connectors on the second side of the second substrate tape;
• and
• a weakening of resistance in the first free lateral edge area of the second substrate tape facilitating bending of the first and second substrate tapes transversely and laterally relative to a longitudinal axis of the first and second substrate tapes;
• a removable cover sheeting extending over sides of the hooking elements remote from the first side of the first substrate tape;
• and
• a foam barrier between the cover sheeting and the hooking elements of the first substrate tape and at least partially engages spaces between the hooking elements.

A foaming mold for a seat cushion, the foaming mold comprising:

• a seating pipe;
• a touch fastener being inserted in the seating pipe and including
• a first substrate tape having hooking elements arranged on a first side of the first substrate tape and having a second side opposite the first side,
• a first side of a second substrate tape connected on the second side of the first substrate tape, the second substrate tape having a second side opposite the first side of the second substrate tape, the second substrate tape being wider than the first substrate tape with a first free lateral edge area of the second substrate tape projecting beyond an adjacent longitudinal edge of the first substrate tape,
• connectors on the second side of the second substrate tape,
• a weakening of resistance in the first free lateral edge area of the second substrate tape facilitating bending of the first and second substrate tapes transversely and laterally relative to a longitudinal axis of the first and second substrate tapes,
• a removable cover sheeting covering the hooking elements, and
• a foam barrier between the cover sheeting and the hooking elements of the first substrate tape and at least partially engages spaces between the hooking elements;
• whereby after connecting molded foam to the connectors while forming at least a part of the seat cushion and then removing the part of the seat cushion from the seating pipe and the cover sheeting from the hooking elements, the hooking elements are exposed on the part of the seat cushion.
