Owing to the fact that the further fastening element (20) can be connected to the support (30), at least part of which has an adhesive layer and/or which is composed of an embedding compound, said adhesive layer or embedding compound producing the direct connection of the respective E component to the further fastening element (20) assignable to it, a solution is provided which requires only a very little amount of installation space.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for functionalising the surfaces of adhesive closing parts which form, with correspondingly formed adhesive closing parts, an adhesive closure that can be repeatedly opened and closed. The surface energy of the adhesive closing part is modified by means of a proton and/or electron exchanging medium, especially in the form of donors or collectors, using high energy in such a way that the physicochemical properties of the material of the adhesive closing part can be adjusted without a coating and with ageing resistance, by the attachment of functional groups of the exchanging medium to the adhesive closing part material. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out one such method.

Abstract: A process produces foamed articles, especially foamed articles for upholstering car seats. The foamed articles include an adhesive closing part having adhesive elements incorporated into the foaming mold generating the foamed article and covered by a foam-protecting cover. The adhesive closing part itself constitutes the cover. A lateral cover of the adhesive closing part whose width overlaps the surface area on which the adhesive elements are arranged and is releasably attached to the foaming mold by a fixing device. This design simplifies the foaming process and keeps production costs low.

Abstract: A process produces cling-fastener parts with a large number of interlocking members (24) from a formulation encompassing radiation-crosslinkable prepolymers. The prepolymer is molded, cast, and/or compression molded into the shape of a large number of interlocking members (24) together with a cling-fastener base (21), and is then radiation-cured. The apparatus producing the cling fasteners encompasses a feed (32, 10) for the formulation (14) of radiation-crosslinkable, in particular acrylic, prepolymers, at least one shaping roll (11) and one backing roll (12). The shaping roll (11) has a large number of radial cutouts (17). A source of UV radiation (19), or an electron-beam source, provides radiation curing of the molded radiation-curable formulation.

Abstract: In a method for producing a foam element, especially a foam padding element for a plane or vehicle seat, a layer is applied to at least one shaping wall section of a foaming mold. The layer is of a material that forms a barrier layer between the foam material and the respective wall section during the foaming process. A fleece with a ferromagnetic coating is used as the layer forming the barrier layer. The fleece is releasably held in its position at the wall section by a device that produces a ferromagnetic field and interacts with the ferromagnetic coating.
