  • Patent number: 6561581
    Abstract: A system comprising a cover comprising two adjacent parts joined by a seam and forming a seam flap. The seam comprises first and second threads joined to the two respective faces of the seam flap and forming alternating loops which interlock at the free edge of the seam flap. The loops of the two threads form a mesh in which the seam flap is held tightly and without slack, the loops of the first thread being shorter than the loops of the second thread and forcing the seam flap to fold over towards its first face. The loops of the second thread hook onto hook devices belonging to a self-gripping element.
