Abstract
A touch fastener has a plurality of interspaced bonding elements arranged on a backing. Each element has a head (12) connected to the backing by a stem (14). To allow the head (12) to always remain fastened to a body in the immediate vicinity, even if the backing is axially displaced over a predeterminable distance on a plane extending parallel to the body, the head (12) has a disc with a diameter greater than the diameter at any point on the stem (14). The stem is conical and connected to the disk in an articulated manner by an articulated part (16).
Claims16
A touch fastener and an adjacent body, comprising:
- a backing;
- a plurality of bonding elements spaced relative to one another and located on said backing, each said bonding element having a head connected to a stem in turn connected to said backing, each said head having a head plate with a diameter greater than diameters of the respective stem at any point along the respective stem, each said stem being conical and being linked to the respective head plate by an articulation part;
- and
- a contact surface on each said head plate being detachably adherable to the adjacent body by an adhesion force.
A touch fastener element for a touch fastener and an adjacent body, comprising a conically tapered stem;
- a head connected by an articulation part to a smaller end of said stem, said head being a flat head plate and having a greater diameter than diameters of said stem along at any point along said stem;
- and
- a contact surface on said head plate being detachably adherable to the adjacent body by an adhesion force.
