A fabric having a restraining function is fabricated through at least one yarn having thermoplastic fibers, at least one surface of the fabric has hairiness formed with a plurality of thermoplastic hairs, wherein a first restraining hair having a distal end formed with a spherical member and/or a columnar member is formed through at least a part of the thermoplastic hairs, second restraining hair having a distal end formed with an irregular deformed member is formed through at least a part of the first restraining hairs, so that the at least one surface of the fabric is able to provide a restraining function in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction to a plurality of fibriform loops.

There is provided a touch fastener that has high followability to the relative movement of portions to be engaged and does not easily separate from a mating member, and thus is usable in a wider range of applications. In the touch fastener, all the elements, that is, first strands, second strands, and engagement elements are formed of a thermoplastic elastomer. Further, the plurality of first strands and the plurality of second strands are disposed to intersect with each other, and consequently, hole portions each surrounded by the two adjacent first strands and the two adjacent second strands are provided. Accordingly, it has a high elastic function, easily stretches, and has high followability to the relative movement of portions to be engaged.

A mold in fastener product includes a flexible substrate, such as a resin film or textile sheet, and a resin layer covering only part of one side of the flexible substrate and leaving a region of the one side of the flexible substrate exposed, the resin layer carrying multiple touch fastener elements each having a resin stem extending integrally from the layer away from the flexible substrate to an engageable head. A flexible ferromagnetic strip is bonded to the flexible substrate and at least partially bounds a bounded portion of the flexible substrate containing at least some of the touch fastener elements and at least a part of the exposed region. The product is preferably wide, such as to cover a wide concave region of a foam seat cushion.

A clasp includes a base member with a first magnetic element and a detachable member with a second magnetic element. The first magnetic element is positioned within a lateral groove in the base member and the second magnetic element is position on a tongue of the detachable member. A first cleat in the base member engages second cleat on the tongue when the tongue is secured in a seated position within the lateral groove. The magnetic elements bias the tongue into the seated position within the lateral groove in response to positioning the second cleat over the first cleat and then moving the second magnetic element into proximity with the first magnetic element. The detachable member may be detached from the base member by applying a lateral force that overcomes friction between the members and magnetic forces between the magnetic elements to slide the tongue laterally through the lateral groove.

A touch fastener system has two interconnectable and detachable touch fastener parts (4), each of which has a plurality of fastening elements (6) projecting from a carrier. The fastening elements (6) can be brought into detachable engagement with each other opposite from each other in a predeterminable connection area. The fastening elements (6) of the one type of a touch fastener part (4) within the connection area receive the fastening elements (20) of the other type between them forming strips (22, 24). One of the touch fastener parts (4) has fastening elements (6) of only one type, which, when engaged within the connection area, are connected to fastening elements (6) of this type and to fastening elements (20) of a further type of the respective other touch fastener part (4).

A resin sheet contains: a sheet-like substrate of a resin; and wall-like projections (W) of the same resin having a certain height and standing upright on one surface of the substrate. The wall-like projections (W) are arranged on the surface of the substrate in at least 10 parallel rows with a certain spacing, and a large number of the wall-like projections (W), which satisfy the conditions (1) to (5) described in the specification, are present in parallel on the one surface of the substrate. The resin sheet is useful as a directional male hook-and-loop fastener whose male engaging elements are unlikely to break when a force is applied thereto and which does not provide a stimulus to the skin when it touches the surface of the fastener, as a filter for separating fine particles from a fluid, and as a display resin sheet.

A method for assembling an assembly comprising a tape (100) of retaining elements and a substrate (200), said method comprising the following steps: a step of forming a tape of retaining elements by dispensing a molding material into a molding device (1), so as to form a tape (100) of retaining elements comprising a base (51) presenting a bottom face (511) and a top face (512), the top face (511) of the base (51) being provided with retaining elements; and a step of applying a substrate (200) against the bottom face (511) of the base (51) prior to said bottom face (512) of the base (51) solidifying in such a manner as to cause the substrate (200) to penetrate at least in part beyond a plane defined by the bottom face (511) of the base (51) of the tape (100).
