PCT No. PCT/EP95/04098 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 22, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 22, 1997 PCT Filed Oct. 18, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/12898 PCT Pub. Date May 2, 1996A method of forming flexible disks containing annular loop packets for the purpose of transmitting traction forces between fastening elements is disclosed. The loop packets and the fastening elements are combined into a ring and subsequently embedded in rubber-elastic material. In a preparatory operation, the loop packets are injection-coated either individually or in groups by a coating of elastomer material, which defines and stabilizes their outer contour. The elastomer material is only partially vulcanized before the ring is completely embedded in the rubber-elastic material. Injection coating renders the loop packets or groups of loop packets into components which are true to shape and size with defined wall thicknesses. Consequently, the characteristics and the life of the flexible disks are standardized for mass production and material consumption is reduced.
