  • Publication number: 20120096690
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fastening fabric structure, which comprises a micro-fibriform loop fabric structure and a fibriform pile fabric structure. The micro-fibriform loop fabric structure has micro-fibriform loops erected and protruded from the surface of the fabric processed with a fiber splitting treatment to form erected and loosen micro-fibriform loops on the surface of the fabric; the fibriform pile fabric structure has erected and dispersed restrain fiber bundles on the surface of the fabric to form fibriform loops processed with a shearing treatment. Because the micro-fibriform loops are loosen and protruded from the surface of the fabric, the capability of restrain the fibriform pile fabric structure can be greatly enhanced, and the restrain fiber bundles of the fibriform pile fabric structure are prevented from tangling together, thereby greatly increasing the amount of effective fastening fibers and strengthening the fastening and adhering capability of the fastening fabric structure.

  • Publication number: 20100313388
    Abstract: A self-sticking fabric structure includes loop-like fabric structure, which is fabricated by complex yarns and split thereafter to recover smaller fibers, substantially all of the fibers forming loop-like fastening elements between each two adjacent inter-weaving or inter-knitting nodes, and a hook fabric structure, which is fabricated by staple fibers for enabling the ends of the staple fibers to protrude over the surface of the fabric and to form a layer of fiber flock type hook-like fastening elements. The fabrication of the self-sticking fabric does not require any further brushing or pile-raising processing process, saving the manufacturing cost, reducing the fabric thickness, and widening the application of the fabric.

  • Publication number: 20100162536
    Abstract: A fastening fabric structure is disclosed to have a micro-fibriform loop fabric, fabricated by complex, textured micro-fiber yarn and split thereafter to recover more and smaller fibers, all of the fibers forming the micro-fibriform loops or pile loops between the inter-weaving or inter-knitting nodes, and a fibriform pile fabric, fabricated by spun yarn or synthetic filament yarn and sheared to form erected, dispersed non-hook fiber bundles of micro-fibriform pile for fastening the micro-fibriform loops of said micro-fibriform loop fabric. The erected, dispersed non-hook fiber bundles of micro-fibriform pile will not be tangled together, enhancing the fastening ability of the fastening fabric.
