摘要:
A fastening component of a separable fastener has some portion that is necessary for its fastening function, such as the hooks, the base to which the hooks are attached or a substrate that is used for another purpose, comprised of a magnetically attractive constituent. Another portion of the fastening component is comprised of a magnetically inert constituent. The fastening element may be the hook portion or the loop portion of a typical fastener. The fastening elements and the base may be unitary, or of different precursors, such as in a woven fastener component. The magnetically inert constituent may comprise a polymeric plastic or a thermoplastic elastomer. The magnetic attractant may impregnate the magnetically inert constituent, or it may coat or be coated by the magnetically inert constituent. The magnetic attractant may comprise a metal powder. The metal may be selected from the group consisting of iron powder. The magnetic attractant may be an organo-iron or a rare earth metal. In a woven fastener, either the base structure or the hooks may include the magnetic attractant, or both may do so. The material that forms the hooks may be entirely of a magnetically attractive material, with the material that forms the woven base being magnetically inert. Rather than the magnetically attractive material being incorporated into the fastening elements or the base, it may be incorporated into the substrate that is formed from a precursor element that is separate from the base, and that is joined to the base.

A laminate is provided that includes a sheet of loop material laminated to a sheet of metallized flexible material. The laminated sheets are coextensive in size and are permanently joined together so that one does not slide with respect to the other. A strip of hook material can also be provided for securement purposes whereby the laminate is secured to itself along an edge portion or whereby the loop surface of the laminate is secured to a portion of a device to be protected.

A process for making a refastenable mechanical fastening system, made of free formed prongs joined to a substrate. The prongs taper and are nonperpendicularly oriented relative to the plane of the substrate. Each prong has an engaging means projecting laterally from the periphery of the prong. The free formed prongs are manufactured by the process of depositing liquid material onto a moving substrate, stretching the liquid material in a direction parallel to the plane of the substrate and severing the stretched material to form the distal end and engaging means of the prong. The advantageous usage of the fastening system in an article of manufacture, such as a disposable absorbent garment, specifically a diaper.

A self-adhering fastening device for releasably adhering an opposing article utilizes an elongated filament having a plurality of integral, generally lateral projections defining fastening elements. The filament is initially formed as an elongated body, which may be in the form of a ribbon, having plurality of slits cut along the longitudinal sides of the body, which slits are subsequently opened up to form spaced fastening elements along the length of the body. The slits may be opened by stretching or twisting the body or by applying heat or chemical treatment to the slitted body.

A fastening member has inboard and outboard ends, a panel region, an end region, and a stiffening element. The panel region is disposed adjacent to the inboard end and has first and second layers. The first and second layers are joined in a face-to-face orientation. The end region is disposed adjacent to the outboard end and has a fastening element zone and an intermediate zone. The intermediate zone is disposed between the fastening element zone and the panel region adjacent an interface between the panel and end regions. The stiffening element is disposed in the end region and has a stiffness of greater than about 200 N/m. A portion of the stiffening element is disposed between the first layer and the second layer and is joined to the first layer and the second layer. The portion is disposed adjacent to the interface between the panel region and the end region.

Methods for using a reusable quick release fastener system include engaging and disengaging fastening devices composed of elastomers or shape memory polymers and their composites wherein the fastening devices may be of any number of geometrical shapes such that the mating geometries of each device are compatible with one another. The fastening devices provide an easy and near silent closure mechanism for a container, for example. Thus, the methods for using reusable quick release fastener systems including the fastening devices made of elastomers or shape memory polymers can be used to attach one part to another or to quietly close a pocket, box, or other container, for example.

A closure component has a plurality of closure components (12) with each disposed on a carrier part (10) by a footer (18). Each has a header (14) connected to the footer (18) by a shaft part (16). The header (14) is jointedly connected to the shaft part (16) by a hinge part (20). Because the footer (18) forms a further hinge part (22), by which the shaft part (16) is jointedly connected to the carrier part (10), improved adhesion to third components can be produced.
