Abstract
Object, particularly molded, having at least one surface from which at least one field of hooks projects, particularly through molding, each hook being constituted by a stem section and a head section projecting laterally from the stem section, the hooks being arranged in rows, characterized in that in at least one row the hooks are arranged according to a cycle constituted by m successive right/left hooks, of which the heads project from the stems in a first direction, and n successive hooks in a second left/right direction, following the m hooks, of which the heads project in a second left/right direction opposing the first direction, whereby m and n are integers such that 1 £ m<n.
Claims17
An assembly comprising a first object having at least one surface from which at least one field of hooks projects, said hooks being arranged in rows and columns, each hook including a stem section and a single head section projecting laterally from the stem section, wherein at least one row includes at least one hook having a head projecting in a first direction and n successive hooks, following said at least one hook in said at least one row, each of said n hooks having a head projecting in a second direction opposed to said first direction, n being an integer that is equal to or greater than two, and wherein at least one column includes a succession of hooks having heads projecting in a common direction, and at least a second column includes a succession of hooks having heads that project alternately in said first direction and said second direction;
- and a second object having at least one surface from which at least one field of hooks projects, said hooks being arranged in rows and columns, each hook including a stem section and a head section projecting laterally from the stem section, wherein at least one row includes at least one hook having a head projecting in a first direction and n successive hooks, following said at least one hook in said at least one row, each of said n hooks having a head projecting in a second direction opposed to said first direction, n being an integer that is equal to or greater than two, and wherein at least one column includes a succession of hooks having heads projecting in a common direction, and at least a second column includes a succession of hooks having heads that project alternately in said first direction and said second direction, said hooks of said field of hooks of said first object engaging said hooks of said field of hooks of said second object to fix the first and second objects together.
