The present invention relates to rolls of an elongated material and to methods of manufacturing fastening tabs.

A male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener-equipped sheet includes a male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener and a non-foam resin sheet integrated on the back surface of the male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener. The male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener includes a resin-made base plate and a plurality of male-type engaging elements made of the same resin, rising from the surface of the base plate and arranged in a row. The male-type engaging elements are bent in the direction of the row direction of the male-type engaging elements from the middle thereof, where the tip end portion approaches the base plate. The non-foam resin sheet is directly laminated and integrated on the back surface of the male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener. The resin constituting the non-foam resin sheet is a resin mainly composed of an elastomer resin of the same type as the resin constituting the male-type molded hook-and-loop fastener, though with a lower hardness.

Mold-in fastener products are made by forming a longitudinally continuous hook tape having a flexible base and an array of discrete male touch fastener elements extending from an upper surface of the base, forming a layer of flexible barrier material on the upper surface of the base, such that the male touch fastener elements are embedded in the layer of flexible barrier material, severing the flexible barrier material to form a pattern of patches of flexible barrier material spaced apart and surrounded by a continuous lattice of barrier material, stripping the lattice from the upper surface of the base to expose regions of the base between patches, and severing the hook tape along the exposed regions of the base to form individual mold-in fastener products, each having a patch of flexible barrier material surrounded by an exposed base edge region carrying male touch fastener elements.

A vehicle cover assembly comprising; a flexible cover; one or more side rails; and a fastener assembly that is secured to a vehicle bed comprising; a cover fastener that is on one or more edge regions of the flexible cover; and a side rail fastener with one or more rows of fasteners comprising; a plurality of dual hooks on the base that releasably connect with the cover fastener of the flexible cover; and a plurality of spacers between the plurality of dual hooks.

In this molded surface fastener, plural engaging elements having a stem portion and an engaging head portion formed integrally on the stem portion are standing on the base portion, at least one pawl portion having a pawl width dimension narrower than a width dimension at a boundary between the stem portion and the engaging head portion is protruded on an outer peripheral edge part of the engaging head portion, and a back surface of pawl of the pawl portion is formed at different angles with respect to a back surface of head portion of the engaging head portion. Such a molded surface fastener of the present invention has a substantial engaging force with respect to a female surface fastener and can make a texture of its surface comfortable.

Device for closing the opening of a sack, in particular a sack made of flexible material, comprising a first element with hooks and a second element with hooks, the hooks (9) of the two elements engaging into one another to achieve the closure of the opening, each element with hooks comprising a base strip (7, 8) and hooks coming from the strip.

The present invention provides electrothermal mattress cover, electrothermal sleeping bag/mattress cover, and temperature control sleeping bag. The electrothermal mattress cover comprises a cloth cover and a heating sheet; the cloth cover at least covers or wraps the upper surface of the heating sheet; the cloth cover is provided with corner connecting pieces at its corners, for connecting the heating sheet; the heating sheet comprises a heating wire fixed within an interlayer between two adhesive tapes, and an outer cover wrapping the two adhesive tapes; the outgoing end of the heating wire goes through the tapes and the outer cover; the heating wire is bound to the outer cover by waterproof binding materials; and the outgoing end of the heating sheet is used for power connection.

A connection system has a first adhesion segment, on which a first connection region is formed, a second adhesion segment, on which a second connection region is formed, and a solidifiable liquid connection substance for connecting the two adhesion segments in a material fit, wherein at least one of the two connection regions is formed flexibly, such that, when the liquid connection substance is introduced between the two connection regions which are opposite one another in an assembly arrangement of the two adhesion segments, a material connection is formed between the two connection regions automatically as a result of the elastocapillary effect via the liquid connection substance.

Provided are a fastening member and a fastening piece for which an unpleasant texture and an incongruous appearance are significantly reduced, and that bring about an integrated feeling with the main body of a disposable article for wearing. A fastening segment includes a hook fastener and a base sheet. A hook height H1 of a hook is set to 45 μm to 150 μm, and a hook sheet thickness T2 is set to 45 μm to 75 μm. When in an L*a*b* color coordinate system, a color difference of L* is ΔL*, a color difference of a* is Δa*, and a color difference of b* is Δb*, a color difference ΔE between the hook fastener and the base sheet calculated using the ΔL*, the Δa* and the Δb*, is less than 5.5.

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.
