Described is a fastening tape that includes a plurality of attachment portions extending upwardly from a bottom portion of the fastening tape. The fastening tape also includes at least one inner wall disposed adjacent to at least some of the plurality of attachment portions and at least one outer wall offset from the at least one inner wall such that a cavity is disposed between the at least one inner wall and the at least one outer wall. Finally, the fastening tape includes an injected foam member disposed in the cavity.

The molded surface fastener includes: a fastener member that has a plurality of engagement elements disposed upright on the first surface of a base portion, and a back member that is secured to the second surface of the fastener member and that is provided with a structure enabling passage of a synthetic resin. The base portion has a first base region of a predetermined thickness and a second base region formed to be thicker than the first base region, and the back member is secured to at least the second base region of the base portion. The adhesion strength of the back member to the fastener member is thus increased, enabling the back member to be held more firmly by the base portion.

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 fastening tape having flexibility in a longitudinal direction of the fastening tape. The fastening tape includes a plurality of fasteners, a support, and magnetic material positioned on the support. The support defines a plurality of plateaus and a plurality of valleys. The magnetic material is positioned on at least a portion of one of the plurality of plateaus or the plurality of valleys of the support such that a height of the magnetic material varies in the longitudinal direction. Because the height of the magnetic material varies, the fastening tape is more flexible in the longitudinal direction. In some cases, the fastening tape is also flexible in the lateral direction.

The surface fastener includes a base portion, a fastener member that includes a plurality of engagement elements, and a masking member that is detachably held by the fastener member. The masking member covers an engaging area of the fastener member, at least a part of the engaging element is embedded in the masking member. A space portion is provided between the base portion and the masking member in the engaging area. Thus, a foam resin can be prevented from intruding the engaging area of the fastener member in foam-molding of the cushion body. The masking member is also easily peeled off from the fastener member after foam-molding.

Provided is a surface fastener in which a decrease in engagement strength can be suppressed when a masking member is peeled off. This surface fastener includes a fastener member and a masking member. The fastener member includes a base portion and a plurality of engaging elements. The masking member covers at least a part of the engaging elements. At least one recess portion is provided on a masking outer surface of the masking member.

The present invention provides a resin molded body with a hook-and-loop fastener excellent in engaging force, and a method for producing the same. In addition, the present invention provides a method for fixing a ceiling material for automobiles to a vehicle body, which has an adhesive force for a long period of time even under high temperature or low temperature conditions, is excellent in productivity, and does not cause a problem such as falling of a male-type engaging element even when a hot melt adhesive is used. A resin molded body with a hook-and-loop fastener, which is formed by integrating a non-foamed resin molded body and a male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener, wherein the male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener has at least a base plate, a plurality of male-type engaging elements rising from a front surface of the base plate, and a plurality of embedded elements rising from a back surface of the base plate, wherein a resin constituting the male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener is at least one selected from polyester elastomer and polyamide, and the resin molded body and the male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener are integrated by embedding at least a part of the embedded elements in the resin molded body.

Provided is a molding hook and loop fastener, in which a barrier erected near left and right side edges of a substrate includes at least two rows of vertical wall arrays, and the vertical wall array positioned on the outermost side includes a plurality of gaps provided at a predetermined pitch in a length direction. At least two of the gaps are provided on the vertical wall array positioned on the outermost side with respect to a region between the engaging elements adjacent in the length direction of the substrate. Due to this, in the molding hook and loop fastener, an outer side and an inner side of the barrier can be divided by the vertical wall array, and flexibility of the molding hook and loop fastener can be improved.

A fastening tape includes a base, at least one hook, and at least one rib. The at least one hook includes a stem and an engagement portion extending from an upper end of the stem in a longitudinal direction. The stem includes a leading edge and a trailing edge in the longitudinal direction, and a center of the at least one hook is between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The at least one rib is laterally adjacent to the at least one hook, and a center of the at least one rib is offset from the center of the at least one hook in the longitudinal direction towards the leading edge of the stem.

There is provided a fastening tape. A plurality of fastening cells on a surface of an elongated substrate. Each of at least some of the fastening cells includes: a fastening element array; one or more barriers at least partially surrounding the fastening element array; at least one slit provided in an upper portion of at least one of the one or more barriers; and a fastening element at least partially filling the slit. At least some of the fastening cells which are adjacent to each other in a longitudinal direction are separated from each other by an open space extending across the substrate in a lateral direction. The fastening element extends inward of the respective fastening cells in a direction away from a respective one of the open spaces.
