SHEET MATERIAL FOR FORMING THE LOOP PORTION FOR HOOK AND LOOP FASTENERS

摘要

A sheet material adapted to be cut into pieces to form the loop portions for fasteners of the type comprising releasably engageable hook and loop portions. The sheet material comprises a multiplicity of fibers having portions bonded to a backing along its front surface at spaced bonding locations to form arcuate portions of the fibers projecting from the front surface of the backing. The arcuate portions have a height from the backing of less than about 0.64 centimeters, and the fibers have a basis weight in the range of 5 to 100 grams per square meter measured along the front surface to provide sufficient open area between the fibers to afford ready engagement of those fibers by the hook portions of a fastener.
