A closure-arrangement for loose-covers used on furniture takes the form of an overlapping joint between abutting edges 3 and 4 of adjacent first and second panels 1 and 2, which between them form a slit-aperture 5 in the loose-cover. The panel edges 6 and 9 are attached to first and second extension flaps 7 and 10, which run along edges 6 and 9, and extending toward and beyond the other, abutting panel-edge. The first extension-flap 7 is adapted to underlie the panel edge 4 and is provided with one part 8 of a hook-and-loop fastener material. The second extension flap 10 is partially formed of stiffener material 11 and is further provided with the other part 14 of the hook-and-loop fastener. When stiffened second flap 10 overlies the first panel edge 3 it also faces outwards, thus away from the underlying first panel. During closure the panel 10 is folded back under the second panel-edge 4, to which it is attached, thereby bringing the two parts of the hook-and-loop fastener into conjunction, and thus enabling the two parts of the fastener to be united. |
