Method for maintaining a fastener in a folded configuration |
摘要 |
A method for folding a fastener during a high speed manufacturing process and maintaining the fastener in a folded configuration throughout the high speed manufacturing process. The method includes obtaining an article that has a foldable fastener and moving the article in the machine direction during the high speed manufacturing process. The foldable fastener has first and second opposing surfaces, a web and at least one engaging member joined to the web. The method includes applying a frangible bonding agent to a first portion of the first surface of the fastening system; folding the fastening system such that the frangible bonding agent contacts a second portion of the first surface of the fastening system; and allowing the frangible bonding agent to cool at a temperature of less than 60° C. |

1. A method for folding a fastener during a high speed manufacturing process and maintaining the folded fastener in a folded configuration throughout the high speed manufacturing process, the method comprising:
obtaining an article comprising a foldable fastener and moving said article in a machine direction during the high speed manufacturing process, said high speed manufacturing process having a cross direction orthogonal to said machine direction, said foldable fastener comprising a web with first and second opposing surfaces, and at least one engaging member joined to the web; applying a frangible bonding agent that comprises a fugitive adhesive to a first portion of the first surface of the fastener; and folding the fastener such that the frangible bonding agent contacts a second portion of the first surface of the fastener; and wherein the fastener is a hook/loop type mechanical fastener; wherein the engaging member includes a plurality of hooks and the web includes a plurality of receiving elements that are engageable with the hooks; and wherein the frangible bonding agent is applied to one or more of the receiving elements; and wherein the frangible bonding agent is applied to at least some of the hooks such that a first group of hooks has the frangible bonding agent disposed thereon and a second group of hooks is substantially free of the frangible bonding agent.
