Abstract: Object, particularly moulded, having at least one surface from which at least one field of hooks projects, particularly through moulding, each hook being constituted by a stem section and a head section projecting laterally from the stem section, the hooks being arranged in rows, characterised in that in at least one row the hooks are arranged according to a cycle constituted by m successive right/left hooks, of which the heads project from the stems in a first direction, and n successive hooks in a second left/right direction, following the m hooks, of which the heads project in a second left/right direction opposing the first direction, whereby m and n are integers such that 1 £ m<n.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a male element of mushroom shape for a self-fastening closure, particularly of the hook and loop type, comprising a cylindrical rod (2) having a longitudinal axis and a cross-section, a flange (5) projecting laterally from the rod (2) and extending substantially all around the rod, characterised in that the rod has a constant cross-section or one that decreases strictly from the bottom of the rod to its apex, and there is formed in the rod an auxiliary cavity (6) of which the largest section transversely of the rod axis is of a smaller dimension than that of the cross-section of the rod (2).

Abstract: Layered assembly or composite comprising a film and a knitted or non-woven fabric fixed on the film, the knitted fabric, or non-woven fabric, being formed from a base formed from threads, or from filaments, and from loops issuing from the base, characterised in that at least part of the threads, or filaments, of the base are anchored in the material of the film, and the film has a weight less than 20 g/m2,in particular between 5 and 15 g/m2.

Abstract: A knitted loop fabric comprising: a ground of warp yarns or wales (8,11) of stitches forming a network of wales parallel to one another and of weft connecting yarns or weft yarns (6), the latter being connected to the warp yarns to form the ground, and loops (14) knitted into the ground and each consisting of two legs (12, 13)) knitted into the ground and of two strands starting from the legs and of an apex connecting the two strands, the connection between the weft yarns (6) and the wales (8, 11) being such that each weft yarn (6) is first knitted into a first stitch of a first wale (11) in a weft connection, then into a second stitch (7) of a second wale (8) in a stitch connection, then into a third stitch (15) of a third wale in a second weft connection, then into a fourth stitch (9) of a fourth wale (8) in a stitch connection and then into a fifth stitch (10), which corresponds to the first stitch of a subsequent cycle, in a further weft connection, the second wale and fourth wale being disposed in the wa
