There is provided a manufacturing method of a cover material fastening member including a clip locking member. The clip locking member is integrally provided at an end edge portion of a strip shaped member. The manufacturing method of the cover material fastening member includes: a molding step of filling a resin for forming the clip locking member in a cavity formed on a surface of each of a pair of rolls in rotation; and a press-bonding step of passing the strip shaped member between the pair of rolls in accordance with rotation of the pair of rolls, pressing the resin by the pair of rolls, and continuously press-bonding the clip locking member to two surfaces of the strip shaped member.

Methods of producing polymer-metal hybrid components that are bonded by C—O-M bonds at the interface using at least one of the hot pressing, rolling, and injection molding methods to create chemical bond formation conditions at the polymer and metal interface. When the thermal cycle and compressive pressure specified herein is combinationally created at the polymer and metal interfaced, strong C—O-M bonds forms at the interface and strongly bonds the metal and polymer together through the reaction carbonyl groups (C═O) in polymer and the metal surface. For polymers lacking enough carbonyl groups, new functional groups can be in-situ generation through introducing distributed air pockets at the polymer-metal interface for forming 3-dimensional distributed C—O-M bonds at the interface.

The invention relates to a roller casting method for producing a spiral structure, in particular a spiral structure for use in electric machines. Molten metal is supplied between a first roller and a second roller miming opposite thereto, wherein the first roller has first teeth, and the second roller has second teeth, said first and/or second teeth having tooth flanks with cavities for receiving the supplied molten metal. The teeth are designed and aligned such that the cavity of at least one tooth is at least temporarily delimited by the surface of a tooth of the other roller when the rollers are rotating such that the supplied molten metal is molded between the teeth while cooling and is molded into a section of the spiral structure.

This manufacturing method of a molded surface fastener involves a primary molding step for forming a primary molded body and a secondary molding step for compressing a provisional element of the primary molded body while heating the same. A molding apparatus is provided with a mold member comprising multiple penetration holes and multiple concave portions, whereof each penetration hole communicates to at least one concave portion; in the primary molding step, the molding apparatus is used to form a primary molded body comprising a provisional element having a primary stem portion and a pawl portion is formed from the protruded portion by compressing the provisional element. By this means, it is possible to stably manufacture a molded surface fastener that has an engaging element comprising a pawl portion that projects from the outer peripheral edge of an engaging head portion.

A fastener part consisting of at least one planar substrate part (10), on one side of which a plurality of mushroom-head-like fastener elements are arranged, each of which, as an integral part of the substrate part (10), has a solid stem part (17) formed in the manner of a rotational hyperboloid and extending along a longitudinal axis, wherein to the free end of said stem part (17) a head part (16) adjoins, the edge regions of which form hooking possibilities and project at least partially beyond the stem part (17), and wherein said head part (16) has a crater-like depression (20) on its upper side, characterized in that a plurality of further crater-like depressions (23) is incorporated into the further side (22) of the substrate part (10), opposite to the fastener elements, in that both crater-like depressions (20, 23) of at least some of the fastener elements extend concentrically or mainly concentrically to the longitudinal axis of the respective assigned stem part (17), and in that the respective further crater-like depression (23) has a maximum crater depth ranging between 30 to 60%, preferably 50%, of the thickness of the substrate part (10).

A touch fastener product having a base sheet with a resin side surface and a male touch fastener element having a head disposed at a distal end of a resin stem and overhanging the base sheet. The head has an overall shape, as projected in a plane parallel to the base sheet, with a perimeter that defines spaced apart extremities corresponding to head sections of different engagement characteristics and disposed at different distances from a centroid of the overall shape. In one example, the head projection has a polygonal perimeter consisting of straight edges of differing lengths connected at radiused corners. In another, the perimeter comprises an unbroken series of at least three arc segments of different curvatures, with centers of the arc segments disposed at different distances from the centroid.
