Abstract: The invention features a textile fastener tape characterized by having, in the weft direction across the tape, one or more sections which exhibit elasticity and one or more sections which do not exhibit elasticity. The fastener tape can be a woven or a knitted fabric.

Abstract: In a manufactured article for contact fastener constituted by a textile support, from one side of which hooking elements protrude, for the purpose of anchoring such elements to the textile support, without having to resort to a sizing, the same support is formed by warp chains tied by at least one weft, and the effect yarn lengths constituting the hooking elements, which are interlaced with the warp chains, are blocked by heat-shrunk stitches of said chains. In order to obtain such result, the yarns forming the warp chains are constituted by a raw material having a coefficient of heat shrinking which is considerably larger that that of the weft yarn tying the warp chains.Also a method and an equipment for accomplishing such a textile manufactured article are provided.
