  • Publication number: 20240115013
    Abstract: A method for producing a touch-and-close fastener part includes producing a base structure from a thread system having individual loops which are at least partially of a polyamide or polyester plastics material. At least a portion of the loops are cut to form two stem-like loop ends. The loop ends are heated at a predeterminable temperature and for a predeterminable heating time until a head shape is produced as a thickening at the respective loop end under the surface tension of the plastics material. The head shape is formed with a convex upper side which, at the point of a linear transition, merges into a concave interlocking surface which is seamlessly transferred into the adjoining stem-like loop end for an interlocking element.

  • Publication number: 20240042911
    Abstract: A foot mat arrangement with a floor unit and a foot mat can be fastened to the floor unit. The foot mat can be fastened to the floor unit by means of a hook-and-loop connection. The hook-and-loop connection has a first hook-and-loop element, which is fastened to the floor unit by material bonding, in particular, by a welded connection. The first hook-and-loop element can have a loop pile fabric. The first hook-and-loop element is preferably fastened to an attachment. The attachment and/or a carpet can be fastened to a floor element of the floor unit, in particular, by a material bond. A vehicle may have such a foot mat arrangement and a method for producing the floor unit of such a foot mat arrangement is disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240016260
    Abstract: A fastening device has a plurality of individual spaced-apart interlocking elements made of a plastics material, each of which projects towards one side from a carrier part by being provided with a stem part and a head part. The number of interlocking elements is 100 to 200 pieces per cm2, preferably 120 pieces per cm2. The diameter of the stem part of an interlocking element is 150 to 250 ?m, preferably 213 ?m. The height of the interlocking element, calculated from the root-side base on the carrier part to the head-part end, is 1200 to 2200 ?m, preferably 1500 to 1980 ?m. The dimension of the largest head-part diameter of an interlocking element is 200 to 400 ?m, preferably 220 to 290 ?m.

  • Publication number: 20230320464
    Abstract: A fastener part consisting of at least one planar substrate part (10), on one side of which a plurality of mushroom-head-like fastener elements are arranged, each of which, as an integral part of the substrate part (10), has a solid stem part (17) formed in the manner of a rotational hyperboloid and extending along a longitudinal axis, wherein to the free end of said stem part (17) a head part (16) adjoins, the edge regions of which form hooking possibilities and project at least partially beyond the stem part (17), and wherein said head part (16) has a crater-like depression (20) on its upper side, characterized in that a plurality of further crater-like depressions (23) is incorporated into the further side (22) of the substrate part (10), opposite to the fastener elements, in that both crater-like depressions (20, 23) of at least some of the fastener elements extend concentrically or mainly concentrically to the longitudinal axis of the respective assigned stem part (17), and in that the respective further
