A cap for capping an upper surface of a shoe a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The first layer has an outer surface that has a coefficient of friction that is greater than that of the upper surface of the shoe that the cap caps. The second layer is an adhesive layer. The third layer is a release layer that can be peeled off the adhesive layer to expose it, thereby enabling the adhesive layer to stick to the shoe.

A touch fastener part has a first substrate tape (10) with hooking elements (12) arranged on one side and has a second substrate tape (16) connected to the first substrate tape (10). The second substrate tape (10) has a connectors (20) on its side facing away from the hooking elements (12) and is wider than the first substrate tape (10). At least one free lateral edge area (22) of the second substrate tape (16) projects beyond the adjacent longitudinal edge of the first substrate tape (10). The two substrate tapes (10, 16) can be bent along and transversely to their longitudinal orientation by at least one free side edge area (22) of the second substrate tape (16) being provided with a weakening of resistance (27) in such a way that bending the two substrate tapes (10, 16) transversely to their longitudinal orientation is facilitated.

Systems and methods are disclosed for fasteners bonded to substrate materials without puncturing the materials. An example fastening system includes a male fastener component and a female fastener. The example male fastener component includes a base plate bonded to a first substrate material without puncturing the first substrate material, and a post integrally formed with the base plate, the base plate and the post formed of a polyurethane material. The example female fastener component includes a housing defining a cavity configured to engage with the post of the male fastener component. The housing is made of the polyurethane material and bonded to a second substrate material without puncturing the second substrate material.

A method for producing a connecting part (28) uses an injection foam molding process. In a first step, a fastening part with adhesive and/or hooking elements (18), forming a component of a contact fastener, is produced and introduced into an injection mold (2) as an insert part (16). A support part (26) is formed in the mold in a second step using a foamed synthetic material (22). The support part is connected to the insert part to form the connecting part (28).

A male touch fastener strip includes an elongated base and a field of male fastener elements each having a stem extending from a broad face of the base and a head for engaging fibers. The fastener element stems and broad face of the base together form a unitary mass of resin, such as a resin containing a magnetically attractable substance. Wings extend from respective longitudinal edges of the base and define discrete corrugations extending in a series along the fastener strip and forming corresponding undulations in the rear face of the strip along its longitudinal edges. The corrugated wings can also support a foam gasket.

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.

One aspect of the present invention provides a fastening strap for fixing a seat covering to a seat cushion of a car. The fastening strap includes a plurality of fastening sections connected in series and each of the fastening section comprises: a substrate having a plurality of hooks formed on a surface thereof; at least one magnetic member disposed on the surface of the substrate; a protective member disposed along a periphery of the substrate to encircle the plurality of hooks; and a flexible connecting portion integrally extending from one end of the substrate in a longitudinal direction of the fastening section to connect to an adjacent fastening section in a spaced apart manner.

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.

A fabric having a restraining function is fabricated through at least one yarn having thermoplastic fibers, at least one surface of the fabric has hairiness formed with a plurality of thermoplastic hairs, wherein a first restraining hair having a distal end formed with a spherical member and/or a columnar member is formed through at least a part of the thermoplastic hairs, second restraining hair having a distal end formed with an irregular deformed member is formed through at least a part of the first restraining hairs, so that the at least one surface of the fabric is able to provide a restraining function in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction to a plurality of fibriform loops.

The present invention relates to a heat-fusible woven fabric hook-and-loop fastener including a woven fabric hook-and-loop fastener obtained by using a weft yarn in which a sheath component is a polyester-based hot melt resin (B) and a heat-fusible resin layer formed of a polyester-based hot melt resin (A) formed on the back surface of the woven fabric hook-and-loop fastener, wherein the heat-fusible resin layer is fused to a warp yarn only, and the melting point of the polyester-based hot melt resin (B) is higher than the melting point of the polyester-based hot melt resin (A) by 50 to 110° C. The heat-fusible woven fabric hook-and-loop fastener has excellent flexibility before being fused to an adherend, can be firmly fused and fixed to an adherend such as a fabric or a soft vinyl chloride sheet, and has excellent flexibility and high engagement force even after being fused and fixed.
