SEPARABLE FASTENER AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME

... 1,253,437. Separable fastener. AMERICAN VELCRO Inc. 11 Aug., 1969 [12 Aug., 1968], No. 40081/69. Heading E2S. A hook member for a separable fastener of the type in which two complementary surfaces have hook and loop engaging elements, is made from non-woven material. The material consist of either a bilaminate or uniaxial or biaxial material e.g. polyethylene terephthalate. The material is characterised in that it shrinks when treated in some way e.g. by heat. If the surface only is treated the material distorts. Triangular cuts 16 (or rectangular), are stamped in the sheet 11. These are bent out of the plane of the sheet, as at 22A, subsequent heat treatment forms them into hooks 12. The hooks are formed in rows with adjacent rows of hooks pointed towards each other. The hooks are aligned parallel to an axis of assymetry 20. A backing sheet 13 may be applied by adhesive 14 to the hook sheet 11. The hooks are made by first stamping the triangular cuts in the sheet as at 22 in Fig. 5. The ...

Coextruded profiled webs

Coextrusion of multiple polymeric components into a single layer cast film is relatively common in the art. Often, multiple polymeric flow streams are combined in a die or feedblock in a layered fashion to provide a top to bottom multilayer film. The diverse polymer flowsteams are typically combined in a feedblock section or the like and then flow in a layered configuration into a conventional coat hanger die arrangement, where the flowstreams flatten out into a film-like flowstream and are extruded onto a casting roll or the like. This arrangement creates films where the polymers form into layers in the thickness dimension.

Forming fastener components of multiple streams of resin

A fastening component of a separable fastener has some portion that is necessary for its fastening function, such as the hooks, the base to which the hooks are attached or a substrate that is used for another purpose, comprised of a magnetically attractive constituent. Another portion of the fastening component is comprised of a magnetically inert constituent. The fastening element may be the hook portion or the loop portion of a typical fastener. The fastening elements and the base may be unitary, or of different precursors, such as in a woven fastener component. The magnetically inert constituent may comprise a polymeric plastic or a thermoplastic elastomer. The magnetic attractant may impregnate the magnetically inert constituent, or it may coat or be coated by the magnetically inert constituent. The magnetic attractant may comprise a metal powder. The metal may be selected from the group consisting of iron powder. The magnetic attractant may be an organo-iron or a rare earth metal. In a woven fastener, either the base structure or the hooks may include the magnetic attractant, or both may do so. The material that forms the hooks may be entirely of a magnetically attractive material, with the material that forms the woven base being magnetically inert. Rather than the magnetically attractive material being incorporated into the fastening elements or the base, it may be incorporated into the substrate that is formed from a precursor element that is separate from the base, and that is joined to the base.

Forming fastener components of multiple streams of resin

A fastening component of a separable fastener is molded out of two separate flows of resin joined under pressure in a nip as the fastening elements are molded in cavities of a cavity roller. The joined flows of resin travel about the cavity roller while being cooled, and are then passed about a stripping roller to pull the formed fastener strip from the cavity roller.

Stretched fasteners

A running length of fastener product is formed of longitudinally pre-oriented synthetic resin. The product is characterized by a base web and an array of discrete fastener elements protruding from at least one side of the web, the web being in a laterally stretched molecular oriented condition. After forming a preform having discrete fastener elements integral with a base web in a stretchable state, the preform is stretched in a manner that substantially increases the fastener element spacing and reduces the thickness of the base web. A machine is shown that is capable of lengthwise orienting before forming and widthwise stretching after forming, which employs controlled heating to render the product widthwise stretchable while preserving or achieving a desired shape of the fastener elements. There are shown fastener products that include products that are laterally stretched to between two and ten times the width of the original preform fastener products, having lateral rip resistance due to molecular orientation of film form webs produced by stretching, applied to complex or extensive surfaces. Also shown are laminated products formed by joining an added material to the stretched web, and methods for laminating.

The second layer of material can be formed of thermoplastic material or melt processable polymeric material. The first and second layers of material are melt formed. They are joined by coextrusion or lamination to form a multiple layer sheet on which a multiplicity of stems are formed on at least the second layer by a process such as embossing the stems into the heated web using a patterned roll or mold.
