Abstract
Hook part of a self-gripping hook and loop closure, in particular for a nappy, comprising a hook element comprising a sheet from which hooks protrude and a laminated element fixed to the hook element, the laminate extending in a transverse direction between two respective left and right lateral edges, comprising a layer fixed to at least one layer (2, 3) of non-woven fabric by a layer of adhesive, in particular interposed between two layers of non-woven fabric by being fixed by one respective layer of adhesive to each layer of non-woven fabric, the layer being in one piece or an integral layer and comprising a resilient zone (6; 16) in the form of film, in particular made of an elastomeric material.

Hook part of a self-gripping hook and loop closure, in particular for a nappy, comprising a hook element comprising a sheet from which hooks protrude and a laminated element fixed to the hook element, the laminate extending in a transverse direction between two respective left and right lateral edges, comprising a layer fixed to at least one layer of non-woven fabric by a layer of adhesive, in particular interposed between two layers of non-woven fabric by being fixed by one respective layer of adhesive to each layer of non-woven fabric, the layer being a single layer comprising a resilient zone in the form of film, in particular made of an elastomeric material, characterized in that:
- the single layer comprises at least one terminal reinforcing zone in the form of film which extends from the resilient zone in the form of film towards one of the lateral edges;
- no resilient zone being located between said one of the lateral edges and the reinforcing zone in the form of film;
- and
- the at least one reinforcing zone in the form of film being less stretchable than said resilient zone in the form of film, in particular being less resilient, and preferably being non-resilient, for example being made of a thermoplastic material.
