FIG. 7 is a back side view of the tape of FIG. 1.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of fastener tape, with two spaced-apart, reflective yarns woven into the base on either side of an array of fibrous loops, and having a different ratio of selvedge width to fastener element array width. The example of FIG. 8 is included to illustrate that my design is embodied in examples of different width ratios.

FIG. 9 is a top view of the tape of FIG. 8.

FIG. 10 is a bottom view of the tape of FIG. 8.

FIG. 11 is a left end view of the tape of FIG. 8.

FIG. 13 is a front side view of the tape of FIG. 8.

FIG. 14 is a back side view of the tape of FIG. 8.

FIG. 15 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of fastener tape, identical to that of FIG. 1 but having two spaced-apart, reflective yarns woven into the base on only one side of an array of fibrous loops. The example of FIG. 15 is included to illustrate that my design is embodied in examples having such reflective yarns running along at least one side of the array of touch fastening elements.

FIG. 16 is a top view of the tape of FIG. 15.

FIG. 17 is a bottom view of the tape of FIG. 15.

FIG. 18 is a left end view of the tape of FIG. 15.

FIG. 19 is a right end view of the tape of FIG. 15.

FIG. 20 is a front side view of the tape of FIG. 15.

FIG. 21 is a back side view of the tape of FIG. 15.

FIG. 22 is a perspective view of a fourth embodiment of fastener tape, identical to that of FIG. 1 but having only one reflective yarn woven into the base on either side of an array of fibrous loops. The example of FIG. 22 is included to illustrate that the relatively reflective feature running along the field of fastening elements can be comprised of but a single, relatively reflective yarn woven into the base.

FIG. 23 is a top view of the tape of FIG. 22.

FIG. 24 is a bottom view of the tape of FIG. 22.

FIG. 25 is a left end view of the tape of FIG. 22.

FIG. 26 is a right end view of the tape of FIG. 22.

FIG. 27 is a front side view of the tape of FIG. 22.

FIG. 28 is a back side view of the tape of FIG. 22.

FIG. 29 is a perspective view of a fifth embodiment of fastener tape, identical to that of FIG. 8 but having only one reflective yarn woven into the base on either side of an array of fibrous loops.

FIG. 30 is a top view of the tape of FIG. 29.

FIG. 31 is a bottom view of the tape of FIG. 29.

FIG. 32 is a left end view of the tape of FIG. 29.

FIG. 33 is a right end view of the tape of FIG. 29.

FIG. 34 is a front side view of the tape of FIG. 29.

FIG. 35 is a back side view of the tape of FIG. 29.

FIG. 36 is a perspective view of a sixth embodiment of fastener tape, identical to that of FIG. 15 but having only one reflective yarn woven into the base on either side of an array of fibrous loops.

FIG. 37 is a top view of the tape of FIG. 36.

FIG. 38 is a bottom view of the tape of FIG. 36.

FIG. 39 is a left end view of the tape of FIG. 36.

FIG. 40 is a right end view of the tape of FIG. 36.

FIG. 41 is a front side view of the tape of FIG. 36; and,

FIG. 42 is a back side view of the tape of FIG. 36.

The dashed lines in the views represent the position of reflective yarn in the base, which is part of the claimed design.
