Abstract
A closing mechanism (1; 101; 201; 301) includes a plurality of closing elements (2; 102; 202; 302; 302a) such as hooks, mushroom heads or loops, and a flat carrier (3; 103; 203; 303). The closing elements (2; 102; 202; 302; 302a) protrude from at least one surface (4) of the carrier (3; 103; 203; 303). The closing mechanism (1; 101; 201; 301) has a heater (5; 105; 205; 305), at least in certain sections, which converts supplied energy into heat. The invention also relates to an associated production method.
Claims20
An adhesive fastener component, comprising:
- a flat carrier having opposite first and second surfaces;
- a plurality of fastener elements protruding from at least said first surface of said flat carrier and being one of hooks, mushroom heads and loops;
- and
- a printed heater on at least certain sections of said flat carrier, said heater printed directly on one of said flat carrier and another carrier laminated to said flat carrier by one of thick and thin film technology, and said heater capable of converting supplied energy into heat.
A method for producing an adhesive fastener component comprising the steps of:
- forming a flat carrier with opposite first and second surfaces, and a plurality of fastener elements protruding from the first surface of the flat carrier and being one of hooks, mushroom heads and loops;
- and
- subsequently applying a heater directly onto one of the flat carrier and another carrier laminated to the flat carrier at least in certain sections of the flat carrier, for converting supplied energy into heat, by printing in one of thick and thin film technology.
