Abstract
A female loop portion for a hook and loop self-adhesive, comprising a film (1) made of at least one thermoplastic and a plurality of filaments (2) which are separate from one another and attached to one of the surfaces of the film, each filament comprising a series of fastening sections (15) and a series of loop sections (4) alternating with the fastening sections, the filaments being attached to the film along the fastening sections while the loop sections are at a distance from the film so as to form loops, and characterized in that a cross-sectional area of one loop section of a filament is less than a cross-sectional area of one fastening section of said one filament.
Claims11
A female loop portion for a hook and loop fastener, comprising a film made of at least one thermoplastic material and a plurality of filaments, independent from one another and fixed to one of the surfaces of the film, each filament comprising a succession of fixing sections and a succession of loop sections alternating with the fixing sections, the filaments being fixed to the film along the fixing sections so that said filaments in said fixing sections are in direct contact with said film, while the loop sections are at a distance from the film in order to form loops, so that said filaments in said fixing sections are at least in part outside said film and so that a cross-sectional area of a loop section of one filament is less than a cross-sectional area of a fixing section of said one filament.
