The invention relates to a touch fastener with a plurality of interspaced bonding elements that are arranged on the backing, each element having a head (12) that is connected to the backing by means of a stem (14). To allow the head (12) to always remain fastened to a body in the immediate vicinity, even if the backing is axially displaced over a predeterminable distance on a plane running parallel to said body, the head (12) consists of a disc with a diameter that is greater than the diameter at any point on the stem (14), the latter being conical and connected to the disc in an articulated manner by means of an articulated part (16).
