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.

A mounting system includes a first and second mounting part having a first and second base part with a first and second plurality of first and second locking means respectively, for mounting two components to each other. Each of the locking means is attached to the respective base part and is provided with an attachment part extending from the base part, and a distal part provided as a head portion with at least one engaging section protruding sidewards over the attachment part. The locking means are laterally displaceable in relation to the base part to allow sidewards displacement of the engaging sections for engagement and disengagement of the locking means and thus the first and the second base. In the engaged state, latching means are provided blocking the sidewards displacement of the engaging sections to an extent that a disengagement of the locking means is prevented.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a self-mating fastener that includes a backing having a first side, and a rail element protruding perpendicularly from the first side of the backing. The rail element extends in a longitudinal direction along the backing. The rail element has a base portion attached to the first side of the backing and a cap portion distal from the backing. The cap portion has a cap width that is greater than a width of the base portion and the cap portion overhangs the base portion on opposing sides. The self-mating fastener includes an electrically conductive contact element proximate to the rail element.

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).

The invention concerns an improved means of joining two surfaces with flexible elements on them that, when the two surfaces are placed against each other, grip each other clampingly.

Flexible displays that include an interlocking device.

A touch fastener system, consisting of two interconnectable and detachable touch fastener parts (4), each of which has a plurality of fastening elements (6) projecting from a carrier, which fastening elements (6) can be brought into detachable engagement with each other opposite from each other in a predeterminable connection area, wherein 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), is characterized in that 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).

Exemplary securement straps comprise an elongated strap having a plurality of fastener surfaces disposed at discrete intervals along the length thereof. Each fastener surface can have a plurality of vertical posts that extend upwardly from the strap and a sphere disposed on each post, such that opposing fastener surfaces frictionally engage and secure to one another via interlocking of the spheres. Fastener surface spacing can create gaps along the strap around which a ratchet mechanism or other strap accessory can be secured. Additionally, the fastener surfaces can be disposed on both sides of the strap such that multiple storage and usage configurations can be achieved. Exemplary securement straps can also have one or more embedded magnets and reflectors for visibility.

The self-sealing closure system includes a flexible, overlapping, interlocking closure with a continuous backing membrane to provide a secure, durable, and redundantly impermeable barrier operated by finger pressure or by an optional easy-to-operate, zipper-like cursor, with an optional locking end cap.

A reclosable fastener strip includes first and second strip halves each having a strip body and two hook units. Each hook unit has at least one pair of elongated hooks formed on a major surface of the strip body and cooperatively defining a recess therebetween. Each elongated hook is configured and dimensioned to permit being fitted securely in the recess of a corresponding pair of the elongated hooks so as to provide a suitable watertight seal.
