    Abstract: An assembly includes an overmould intended to be fixed to a foam object, the overmould having a base with a central section. Hooks project from the first side and form male parts of a self-gripping member. Two sections forming selvages are on either side of the central section. the assembly can include a mould destined to form through moulding the moulded object to which the overmould is intended to be fixed, the mould having a cavity delimited by walls. The overmould is arranged on the cavity, having at least a section of its selvages in contact with the upper surfaces of the walls of the cavity and the hooks inside the cavity. A material which can be attracted by a magnet is fixed to the overmould, and a magnet is in the bottom of the cavity to attract the overmould. The selvages each include a first contact section located above the walls of the hook protection cavity of the mould, and a second end section which projects beyond the walls, on the outer lateral side of the cavity.
