  • Patent number: 9700105
    Abstract: A surface fastener which includes a hook surface fastener (A) and a loop surface fastener (B), or a mixed surface fastener (C). The hook surface fastener (A) has hook fastener elements made of monofilaments on a surface of a base fabric. The loop surface fastener (B) has loop fastener elements made of multifilaments and capable of engaging with the hook fastener elements on a surface of a base fabric. The mixed surface fastener (C) has hook fastener elements made of monofilaments and loop fastener elements made of multifilaments on the same surface of a base fabric. The monofilaments are made from a polyethylene terephthalate-based polyester resin, and the multifilaments are made of a polybutylene terephthalate-based polyester resin.

  • Patent number: 9532628
    Abstract: A fabric surface fastener including a hook surface fastener (A) including hook-like engagement elements made of a monofilament yarn on a surface of a base fabric, and a loop surface fastener (B) including loop-like engagement elements made of a multifilament yarn on a surface of a base fabric, the loop-like engagement elements being engageable with the hook-like engagement elements. The monofilament yarn is a monofilament yarn made of polybutylene terephthalate polyester resin and having certain diameter. The multifilament yarn is a multifilament yarn made of polybutylene terephthalate polyester resin. A density of the hook-like engagement elements and a density of the loop-like engagement elements are in a certain range. The density of the hook-like engagement elements is higher than the density of the loop-like engagement elements. A ground warp yarn composing the base fabrics is a multifilament yarn made of polyethylene terephthalate polyester.
