Abstract

In an adhering closure element with a carrier strip (10) with meshing parts (12) arranged on it, and with a cover strip (20) covering the carrier strip (10) on the side turned away from the meshing parts (12), which is wider than the carrier strip (10), the two free side edge areas (21) of the cover strip (20) are folded over themselves, in the direction of the carrier strip (10) along a fold line (29), which runs in the longitudinal direction, so that the end edges (31) of the free side edge areas (21) of the cover strip (20) face the longitudinal edges (33) of the carrier strip (10).

Claims

1. Adhering closure element comprising a carrier strip with a plurality of meshing parts arranged on it and with a cover strip, covering the carrier strip on a side turned away from the meshing parts, which is wider than the carrier strip, so that free side edge areas of the cover strip extend, on both sides, beyond correlated longitudinal edges of the carrier strip, wherein both free side edge areas of the cover strip are folded over themselves, in the direction of the carrier strip along a fold line, which runs in the longitudinal direction, so that end edges of the free side edge areas of the cover strip face longitudinal edges of the carrier strip;

wherein the cover strip has ferromagnetic properties, at least in its free side edge areas;

wherein the cover strip has a fleece with embedded ferromagnetic particles.

2. Adhering closure element according to claim 1, wherein the fleece is connected, via a connecting device, with the carrier strip on one of its sides, which is turned away from another of its sides, which has the meshing parts.

3. Adhering closure element according to claim 2, wherein the connecting device is formed from an adhesive layer.

4. Adhering closure element according to claim 3, wherein a stiffening profile is embedded in the adhesive layer.

5. Adhering closure element according to claim 3, wherein an iron wire is embedded in the adhesive layer.

6. Adhering closure element according to claim 3, wherein the fleece of the cover strip is formed from plastic material.

7. Adhering closure element according to claim 2, wherein the fleece of the cover strip is formed from plastic material.

8. Adhering closure element according to claim 1, wherein the fleece of the cover strip is formed from plastic material.

9. Adhering closure element according to one of claims 6-8, wherein said plastic material is polyester.

10. Adhering closure element according to claim 1, wherein the meshing parts are formed from hook-, tube-, tuft- or mushroom-like closure heads.

11. Adhering closure element comprising a carrier strip with a plurality of meshing parts arranged on it and with a cover strip, covering the carrier strip on a side turned away from the meshing parts, which is wider than the carrier strip, so that free side edge areas of the cover strip extend, on both sides, beyond correlated longitudinal edges of the carrier strip, wherein both free side edge areas of the cover strip are folded over themselves, in the direction of the carrier strip along a fold line, which runs in the longitudinal direction, so that end edges of the free side edge areas of the cover strip face longitudinal edges of the carrier strip;

wherein the fold lines subdivide the free side edge areas of the cover strip in equal halves so that the end edges of the same are essentially flush with the longitudinal edges of the carrier strip;

wherein the cover strip has ferromagnetic properties, at least in its free side edge areas;

wherein the cover strip has a fleece with embedded ferromagnetic particles.

12. Adhering closure element according to claim 11, wherein the fleece is connected, via a connecting device, with the carrier strip on one of its sides, which is turned away from another of its sides, which has the meshing parts.

13. Adhering closure element according to claim 12, wherein the connecting device is formed from an adhesive layer.

14. Adhering closure element according to claim 13, wherein a stiffening profile is embedded in the adhesive layer.

15. Adhering closure element according to claim 13, wherein an iron wire is embedded in the adhesive layer.

16. Adhering closure element according to claim 11, wherein the fleece of the cover strip is formed from plastic material.

17. Adhering closure element according to claim 11, wherein the meshing parts are formed from hook-, tube-, tuft- or mushroom-like closure heads.
