MECHANICAL FASTENER DEVICE

摘要

The present invention is directed to a mechanical fastener device. The mechanical fastener device comprises a base having a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface. The first and second surfaces have a first region and a second region. The mechanical fastener comprises a plurality of engaging elements extending from the first surface of the base in the first and second regions. The engaging elements are mechanically engageable with a loop fastening material or other fibrous material. The base is folded such that the first region and the second region face one another. The engaging elements in the first region mechanically engage with the engaging elements in the second region to maintain the mechanical fastener in a folded state until manually unfolded to expose the engaging elements in the first and second regions. The second surface of the first region is joined to an article. The present invention is also directed to a disposable article having the mechanical fastener device. The present invention isalso directed to a method for making the mechanical fastener device.
