Abstract: There are provided arc a fastener chain with a separable bottom end stop capable of increasing the reinforcement force of a portion to which the separable bottom end stop is attached—without using a reinforcing tape and keeping aesthetic appearance, and a method for producing the fastener chain. The fastener chain includes reinforced portions into which a curing adhesive has penetrated and cured, and has a misalignment-free strength of 100 N or more at the reinforced portion. The method for producing a fastener chain includes preparing a fastener chain including a plurality of element intermittent portions, attaching separable bottom end stop to each of the element intermittent portions, impregnating each of the element intermittent portions with a curable curing adhesive having a viscosity of 100 to 2,000 mPa S and a curing the curing adhesive which has penetrated into the element intermittent portions.

Abstract: This invention relates to a fiber-made surface fastener comprising joining faces each in which a plurality of fiber-made engaging elements are provided on one surface of each flat base fabric. By specifying a structure and composition yarns of the base fabric of the same surface fastener, the ratio (A/B) of an area A of a range in which sound spectrum of a peeling-off sound Fourier-transformed in a range of 100 Hz to 15000 Hz is 100 Hz to 3000 Hz to an area B of a range in which sound spectrum of a peeling-off sound Fourier-transformed in a range of 100 Hz to 15000 Hz is 3000 Hz to 15000 Hz is 0.4 or more. Consequently, tone of a sound generated when the surface fastener is peeled off and when the surface fastener attached on a product is peeled off is shifted to a low tone side so as to reduce an uncomfortable sound to a lower tone thereby reducing a feeling of discomfort.

Abstract: A silent surface fastener comprises a base part (2), a plurality of engaging elements (3a, 3b) raised from the base part, and a vibration-damping material layer (10) disposed on the back surface of the base part. According to one preferred embodiment, the vibration-damping material layer is disposed on the back surface of the base part through the medium of a bonding layer. The vibration-damping material layer is desired to have a loss tangent (tan?) at ?40 to 40° C. of 0.05-2.5 and a thickness of 0.3-10 mm. According to the other preferred embodiment, the base part is made from a woven or knitted base fabric, the plurality of engaging elements are made of a monofilament, and the fineness of the monofilament is 100-500 T (deciTex).

Abstract: An integral molded surface fastener having minute and peculiar engaging elements, which engage with minute, thickly wooded fiber piles securely while each engaging element secures appropriate engagement strength, shearing strength and separation strength is provided. Further, texture of a surface of the surface fastener is improved and a height of the engaging elements protruded from a surface of a substrate is lower than a conventional type, thereby preventing the engaging elements from being fallen down by a pressing strength. At the same time, a high engaging ratio with a mating pile piece is secured and a durability required for this kind of fastener is satisfied. Preferably, a desired plasticity and tearing strength of the flat substrate are secured.
