Abstract: The invention is a deep-groove fastener which securely retains a seat cover within the groove of a deeply contoured seat bun. The fastener comprises an elongated body generally concave in cross section and having an interior cavity. A plurality of notched ridges are located on the surface of the interior cavity. The notched ridges serve as fastening elements for engaging loop or other material attached to the underside of a seat cover. Anchor elements are located on the exterior, non-cavity surface of the main body, to aid in anchoring the invention within a foam seat bun. The main body additionally comprises two flange-like sealing legs having a relatively flat bottom surface, to seal the sides of the invention against fouling during the seat bun molding process. Magnetically attractable particles are incorporated into the sealing legs, to hold the invention securely to a magnetized seat bun forming mold.

Abstract: The invention is a wire loom constructed from a strip of plastic hook fastener material, which holds a single wire or cable in position, or a bundle of wires or cables together. The wire loom is formed by stretching the hook fastener material along its lengthwise dimension, and has a curled center portion forming a tubular channel in which wires or cable are inserted and retained, and two uncurled end portions. The hook layer side of the loom can be secured to a strip or patch of mating loop material located on a panel, frame member, or other object, to hold the wires or cable in a desired position. An additional strip of loop material may be wrapped around the center of the loom or placed longitudinally on the loom for extra wire-retaining strength.
