Abstract

There is provided a hook type separable fastener component which can be integrally attached to various synthetic resin moldings for cushions etc. by a simple operation.

Claims

1. A separable fastener component suitable for attachment to plastic moldings, said separable fastener component comprising:

(a) an elongated fastener strip having hook-shaped coupling elements on the front side of a base;

(b) an anchor member provided on the rear side of said elongated fastener strip;

(c) longitudinal edge portions void of said hook-shaped coupling elements provided along the opposite longitudinal side edges of said elongated fastener strip;

(d) a barrier member formed on and along each longitudinal edge portion by applying a bunch of fiber in a height not greater than twice the height of said hook-shaped coupling elements, said bunch of fiber being in the form of non-woven cloth.

2. The separable fastener component of claim 1, wherein said barrier members are sheet-shaped structures.

3. The separable fastener component of claim 2, wherein said sheet-shaped barrier members protrude beyond said longitudinal edge portions.

4. The separable fastener component of claim 1, wherein said barrier members are ridge-shaped structures having a smaller width than said longitudinal edge portions.

5. The separable fastener component of claim 1, wherein said anchor member comprises fixed elements of mushroom, hook, or umbrella shape, monofilament loops, multifilament loops, or non-woven cloth.

6. The separable fastener component of claim 1, wherein a metal sheet is interposed between said elongated fastener strip and said anchor member.

7. The separable fastener component of claim 6, wherein said metal sheet is provided on the rear side of said elongated fastener strip in a part where said anchor member is present.

8. The separable fastener component of claim 1, wherein said anchor member is formed integrally with said elongated fastener strip.

9. The separable fastener component of claim 8, wherein said anchor member comprises fixed elements of mushroom, hook, or umbrella shape, or a multitude of uprising monofilaments or multifilament loops.

10. A separable fastener component suitable for attachment to plastic moldings, said separable fastener component comprising:

(a) an elongated fastener strip having hook-shaped coupling elements on the front side of a base;

(b) an anchor member provided on the rear side of said elongated fastener strip;

(c) longitudinal edge portions void of said hook-shaped coupling elements provided along the opposite longitudinal side edges of said elongated fastener strip;

(d) a barrier member formed on and along each longitudinal edge portion by applying a bunch of fiber in a height not greater than twice the height of said hook-shaped coupling elements, said bunch of fiber being formed of multifilament loops.

11. The separable fastener component of claim 10, wherein said barrier members are sheet-shaped structures.

12. The separable fastener component of claim 11, wherein said sheet-shaped barrier members protrude beyond said longitudinal edge portions.

13. The separable fastener component of claim 10, wherein said barrier members are ridge-shaped structures having a smaller width than said longitudinal edge portions.

14. The separable fastener component of claim 10, wherein said anchor member comprises fixed elements of mushroom, hook, or umbrella shape, monofilament loops, multifilament loops, or non-woven cloth.

15. The separable fastener component of claim 10, wherein a metal sheet is interposed between said elongated fastener strip and said anchor member.

16. The separable fastener component of claim 15, wherein said metal sheet is provided on the rear side of said elongated fastener strip in a part where said anchor member is present.

17. The separable fastener component of claim 10, wherein said anchor member is formed integrally with said elongated fastener strip.

18. The separable fastener component of claim 17, wherein said anchor member comprises fixed elements of mushroom, hook, or umbrella shape, or a multitude of uprising monofilament or a multifilament loops.

19. A separable fastener component suitable for attachment to plastic moldings, said separable fastener component comprising:

(a) an elongated fastener strip having hook-shaped coupling elements on the front side of a base;

(b) an anchor member provided on the rear side of said elongated fastener strip;

(c) longitudinal edge portions void of said hook-shaped coupling elements provided along the opposite longitudinal side edges of said elongated fastener strip;

(d) a barrier member formed on and along each longitudinal edge portion by applying a synthetic resin material in a height not greater than twice the height of said hook-shaped coupling elements, said synthetic resin material being a foamed material.

20. The separable fastener component of claim 19, wherein said synthetic resin material is a hot melt resin.

21. The separable fastener component of claim 19, wherein said barrier members are sheet-shaped structures.

22. The separable fastener component of claim 21, wherein said sheet-shaped barrier members protrude beyond said longitudinal edge portions.

23. The separable fastener component of claim 19, wherein said barrier members are ridge-shaped structures having a smaller width than said longitudinal edge portions.

24. The separable fastener component of claim 19, wherein said anchor member comprises fixed elements of mushroom, hook, or umbrella shape, monofilament loops, multifilament loops, or non-woven cloth.

25. The separable fastener component of claim 19, wherein a metal sheet is interposed between said elongated fastener strip and said anchor member.

26. The separable fastener component of claim 25, wherein said metal sheet is provided on the rear side of said elongated fastener strip in a part where said anchor member is present.

27. The separable fastener component of claim 19, wherein said anchor member is formed integrally with said elongated fastener strip.

28. The separable fastener component of claim 27, wherein said anchor member comprises fixed elements of mushroom, hook, or umbrella shape, or a multitude of uprising monofilament or multifilament loops.
