发明名称 TOUCH FASTENER STRUCTURES
摘要 Touch fastener products, as well as apparatus and methods for manufacturing such products, are described. The methods and apparatus feature certain mold cavity shapes that are designed to facilitate demolding of hammer hook touch fastener elements exhibiting desirable fastening properties. Such mold cavity shapes can be combined with particularly soft molding resins to produce useful fastening products.

主权项 1. A method of making a touch fastener, the method comprising filling an array of discrete cavities with moldable resin, the cavities each opening onto an outer surface of a mold and otherwise closed, each cavity having a stem portion extending from the outer mold surface to a head portion undercut on two opposite sides of the stem portion; forming a layer of moldable resin on the outer mold surface, such that the layer of resin interconnects the discrete cavities; at least partially solidifying the resin in the filled cavities to form resin projections extending from the resin layer; and with the cavities remaining closed, withdrawing the projections from their cavities, such that the projections, as withdrawn from their cavities, each comprise a stem and a distal head extending to tips overhanging the resin layer on two opposite ends of the head, wherein the head portion of each cavity is distally bounded by a surface with two opposing inner edges that, as the farthest edges from the outer mold surface, are curved inwardly at least along a central region of the head portion.
