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.

Abstract: A touch-and-close fastener part includes a two-dimensional carrier (1) and a main tang (7) extending from the carrier. The main tang has at least one secondary tang (9) located on it and supporting the main tang (7) on the carrier (1). The fastener part can be obtained as hooking elements (5), in particular by punching or cutting. The main tang (7) can be raised up about a bending line (13) forming a first connecting region with carrier (1), into a functional position over the carrier (1). The secondary tang (9) forms a connecting area lying against the carrier (1) and representing a second connecting region.
