    Patent number: 9316416
    Abstract: A device for fastening panel-shaped mats, in particular flexible photovoltaic solar panels, to a supporting structure, has at least one clamping clip (10) in the shape of a section of a plastic profiled body. The clip has opposing profiled limbs (12, 14) forming a clamping space (18) for a holding region (8) of the mat received in it. In the clamping space, the profiled limbs (12, 14) rest with a resilient clamping force against the upper face and the lower face of the holding region (8). The profiled limb (14), which in the clamped state rests against the lower face of the holding region (8) facing the supporting structure, forms a fixing surface (26) on its outer face provided with a connecting element (30) for attaching to the supporting structure.

  • Method for dying and/or printing adhesive closure parts
    Patent number: 8945685
    Abstract: A method for dying and/or printing adhesive closure parts (10) having a plurality of hooks (12) predominately made of a plastic material connected to a carrier (14), applies a dye medium to the surface (16) of the adhesive closure part (10) or its parts by an application unit (18).

  • Method and device for functionalizing the surfaces of adhesive closure parts
    Patent number: 8895114
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for functionalizing the surfaces of adhesive closing parts which form, with correspondingly formed adhesive closing parts, an adhesive closure that can be repeatedly opened and closed. The surface energy of the adhesive closing part is modified by means of a proton and/or electron exchanging medium, especially in the form of donors or collectors, using high energy in such a way that the physicochemical properties of the material of the adhesive closing part can be adjusted without a coating and with ageing resistance, by the attachment of functional groups of the exchanging medium to the adhesive closing part material. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out one such method.

  • Closure component
    Patent number: 8839495
    Abstract: A closure component has a plurality of closure components (12) with each disposed on a carrier part (10) by a footer (18). Each has a header (14) connected to the footer (18) by a shaft part (16). The header (14) is jointedly connected to the shaft part (16) by a hinge part (20). Because the footer (18) forms a further hinge part (22), by which the shaft part (16) is jointedly connected to the carrier part (10), improved adhesion to third components can be produced.

  • Method for producing closure elements for metal touch-and-close fasteners according to the method
    Patent number: 8683840
    Abstract: To produce closure elements for metal touch-and-close fasteners in a metal carrier (3), notches (13) corresponding to the outlines of hook elements (1) are made, while leaving a connecting line for each notch. Bending operations are carried out to raise the regions delimited by the notches (13) out of the plane of the carrier (3) as hooking elements (1) around the connecting lines serving as bending lines. The carrier (3) is guided through the region (5) of the tooth engagement between rotational bodies (7, 9) having peripheral teeth. The tooth shapes of the rotational bodies (7, 9) and the type of the tooth engagement are selected such that the tooth engagement cuts the notches (13) and stamps the metal carrier the bending operations.
