Abstract:
[Object] [Solving Means] An attachable and detachable structure includes a superficial part and a base. The superficial part has an attachment part and a non-attachment part. The base supports the superficial part and moves one of the attachment part and the non-attachment part forward or backward to the other.
Abstract:
A fastener member (10) for mechanical affixation to a structure (24) includes a base (14) having first and second sides, a plurality of fastening elements (12) integrally formed and extending from a first side of the base (14), and at least one affixation element (16) extending from the second side of the base (14) and arranged to mechanically affix to an attachment opening (28) of a structure (24). A system includes a structure (24) and a fastener member (10) for mechanical affixation to the structure (24). A method includes affixing the fastener member (10) to a structure (24).
Abstract:
The present invention thus relates to a mounting device (1) having a metallic base plate (2), on which multiple fastening elements (31) are provided, from each of which at least a partial area projects above the base plate (2). The mounting device is obtainable by incising fastening element blanks (4) into the surface of the metallic base plate (2) while leaving one connection edge (5) per blank (4) in such a way that they each have a web-shaped base area (6), which comprises the connection edge (5) on one end, and a head area (7) adjoining the base area, which projects laterally beyond the neighboring base area on at least one side. At least one partial area of the blanks (4) is bent out of the base plate around at least one bending edge located in the base area. The projecting edge of the head area adjoining the base area runs at an angle between 0° and 70° in relation to the plane of the base plate after the fastening elements are bent out of the base plate. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for producing this mounting device.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fastening mechanism (1, 101, 201) for mounting objects (4) to a basic structure (8) of a surface, in which said fastening mechanism (1, 101, 201) has hook-shaped protrudings (11, 107, 204) which engage into a, preferably, loop- or network structure of the said basic structure (8) and can thus be fixed to all kinds of objects against walls, ceilings and floors.
Abstract:
A male component of a mechanical fastening system, such as a hook and loop fastener, that can remain fastened to a female component under high levels of shear force. The male component has a backing material with protrusions extending from the backing material at an angle toward the direction of fastener force. The combination of the male component with a female loop component results in a secure fastening system.
Abstract:
An electrically releasable form of hook and loop fastener (10) allows one half of the fastener to release from the other half without applying direct physical force to either half. The hook elements (21) of the fastener are formed of a shape-memory alloy material (27) such as commercially available Ninitol. Release of the hook half (14) of the fastener from the loop half (12) is accomplished by passing an electrical current through the shape-memory alloy material to straighten the hooks (21) so that they release their engagement with the loops (18). The flow of electricity through the hook half energizes the Ninitol material (27) to change its shape, either expanding or contracting in length; the change in shape is made to act against another length of material (28) that remains fixed in length or changes shape in an opposite direction so as to cause the hook shape to straighten toward a rod shape. Upon termination of the flow of electrical energy, the hooks return (21) to their hook shape, ready for re-engagement with the loops (18) upon conventional mating of the two halves of the fastener. Release and re-engagement can be repeated, substantially indefinitely.
Abstract:
Web constructions with severed elongate strands (242) located on at least one surface are described. The severed elongate strands are attached to one or both major surfaces of a web (110) and may be arranged in rows and columns. The elongate strands may be formed by extruding continuous strands onto a web construction, followed by selective attachment of the strands to the web at intervals. After attachment, the elongate strands may be severed at locations (218) between the points of attachment (212). The severed elongate strands may be used as fastening elements on a web backing. When used as fastening elements, the webs may be used in, e.g., garments (gowns diapers, training pants, etc.), bedding, etc. Other uses may also be envisioned for the webs with severed elongate strands, e.g., personal care products (skin debridement articles, etc.), abrasive articles, polishing articles, filters constructions (where, e.g., the severed elongate strands serve as filtering elements and/or spacers), etc.
Abstract:
L'élément de fixation est constitué par un support plan, par exemple en forme de réseau, et par des crochets (1) (2) faisant saillie des différentes parties du support plan, reliés par des brides élastiques (10), et ayant une structure fine ou ultrafine. L'élément de fixation adhère à toute matière plate dans laquelle les crochets peuvent prendre, telle que la peau, le cuir, le caoutchouc, la matière synthétique tendre, le tissu. Il conserve ses qualités de fixation même si la surface est grasse, sale, humide, couverte de poussière ou de poils ou même placée dans l'eau. Une application importante de l'élément de fixation est le toupet. En médecine, par exemple lors de la fixation des électrodes pour un ECG, l'aptitude des crochets à conduire le courant électrique est une caractéristique additionnelle possible.
