Hook and loop fastener components and methods of their manufacture

摘要

A molded plastic hook fastener component for hook and loop fastening has individual raised bases (2) distributed over a common area, each carrying an individual hook element (5) while a laterally contiguous portion of each raised base raises the lower bound for the loop region (7) beneath the fastener head (4). During molding, fastener elements (5) are pulled from their mold cavities through cavity portions of the raised bases (2).
