A sheet fastener includes a first fastening member having a long size and a second fastening member having a long size. The first fastening member includes: a first main body portion including a secured surface; a first engagement portion; a plurality of first slit portions formed along an intersecting direction; and a first continuous portion continuous along a longitudinal direction. The second fastening member includes: a second main body portion including a secured surface; a second engagement portion; a plurality of second slit portions formed along an intersecting direction; and a second continuous portion continuous along a longitudinal direction. By using the sheet fastener according to the present invention, the sheet edge portion, which is curved, of the second sheet member can be easily and smoothly fastened with the sheet edge portion, which is curved, of the first sheet member.

A strap tightener assembly has a base, a tightening device mounted on the base and movable relative thereto, and a strap assembly coupled to the tightening device. The tightening device provides incremental movement of the strap assembly relative to the base at a plurality of predefined settings. A cover extends over the strap assembly and connects to the base so that the base and the cover form a channel permitting movement of the strap assembly therethrough. The cover defines an elongate slot extending along a portion of a length of the cover, and the strap assembly has an indicator identifying the relative location of the strap assembly to the cover. A strap is securable to the strap assembly.

A vest-type maternity belt according to the present invention includes: a maternity belt body provided in the shape of a vest; size adjusting VELCRO members configured such that female VELCRO members and a male VELCRO member are fixedly disposed on both sides of the front part of the maternity belt body and a fastening function is provided; hook fastener members configured such that hooks and loops are fixedly and oppositely disposed on both sides of the lower end portion of the front part of the maternity belt body and the abdominal load of the pregnant woman can be borne; and spine correction elastic bands formed as elastic members contained in the back part of the maternity belt body, and configured to support and correct the spine of the pregnant woman.

A slidably moveable connector device is disclosed. The slidably moveable connector device includes an elongate member and at least a first snap. The elongate member has a first end and a second end disposed distal thereto both first end and a second end being fixably attached to a surface. The at least a first snap has a first end connectively and slidably disposed about the elongate member.

A strap tightener assembly has a base, a tightening device mounted on the base and movable relative thereto, and a strap assembly coupled to the tightening device. The tightening device provides incremental movement of the strap assembly relative to the base at a plurality of predefined settings. A cover extends over the strap assembly and connects to the base so that the base and the cover form a channel permitting movement of the strap assembly therethrough. The cover defines an elongate slot extending along a portion of a length of the cover, and the strap assembly has an indicator identifying the relative location of the strap assembly to the cover. A strap is securable to the strap assembly.

An example easy change mattress sheet attachment system includes a bed sheet having four sewn-on fabric casings in an arch shape and a cord inserted through the casings forming a set of accessible sections of drawstring at exposed between-casing cord regions at four corners, and a bottom mat having means for trapping drawstrings at four corners. After having installed the bottom mat under the mattress, one can install and remove the top sheet onto and from the mattress without having to lift up the mattress. To install the top sheet, first put the top sheet on the mattress, then execute drawstring-trapping maneuvers at four bed corners. To remove the top sheet, detach the engaged drawstrings at four bed corners.

Disclosed is a fastening system for garments such as brassieres, and methods of manufacturing thereof, that places a female engaging device, such as an eye, in a cavity, thereby allowing a male engaging device, such as a hook, to engage with the female engaging device without adding bulk or depth to the fastening system. This provides a slim, comfortable and stylish fastener.

A seamless back buckle with concealed fittings, including a substrate and a plurality of rows of fittings disposed on the substrate; wherein the substrate includes a surface layer and a bottom layer, an interlayer is disposed between the surface layer and the bottom layer, and the plurality of rows of fittings are disposed in the interlayer; and a through hole is formed at a position corresponding to each fitting on the surface layer, and each through hole is communicated with an interior of the interlayer. A new concealed structure is adopted for the fittings of the back buckle, which provides a new idea for the underwear market, and can effectively simplify production procedures and reduce production costs.

A molded surface fastener has engagement regions in which engaging elements are disposed in an erect manner and space regions with no engaging elements, the engagement regions and the space regions alternating in the longitudinal direction. Each space region has a pair of left and right vertical wall portions that are disposed on a substrate portion in an erect manner and a convex rib portion that protrudes from the center of the substrate portion in the width direction, and the convex rib portion is integrally connected to a main lateral wall portion disposed in the width direction of the engagement region. By implementing a simple cutting process, this molded surface fastener can be easily adapted to usages in which the fastener has to be in a curved shape bending in the width direction.

A connecting part (3) is formed by injection moulding. A closure part (11) forms a component of an adhesive closure having adhesive or hooking elements and is introducible as an insert part into an injection mould. In a back-injection process, the connecting part (3) forms a structural part containing the closure part (11) as an integral component.
