Abstract:
The invention relates to a closure component having a plurality of closure components (12) each disposed on a carrier part (10) by means of a footer (18) and each comprising a header (14) connected to the footer (18) by means of a shaft part (16), wherein the header (14) is jointedly connected to the shaft part (16) by means of a hinge part (20). Because the footer (18) forms a further hinge part (22), by meats of which the shaft part (16) is jointedly connected to the carrier part (10), improved adhesion to third components can be produced relative to the known solutions.

Abstract:
A touch-and-close fastener part, comprising a two-dimensional carrier (1), from which a main tang (7) with at least one secondary tang (9) located on it, and supporting the main tang (7) on the carrier (1), can be respectively obtained as hooking elements (5), in particular by punching or cutting, wherein the main tang (7) can be raised up about a bending line (13), which forms a first connecting region with respect to the carrier (1), into a functional position over the carrier (1), is characterized in that the at least one secondary tang (9) forms a connecting area lying against the carrier (1) and representing a further, second connecting region.
Abstract:
A method produces a supporting web made of a predeterminable amount of plastic material having a multitude of molded elements molded inside mold cavities (12) of a forming tool (5). While applying a negative pressure at least in one portion of the cavities (12), enough plastic material is always applied to the mold wall (13) of the respective mold cavity to form a cavity (22) inside the molded element. A supporting web has a multitude of molded elements produced by using this method.
Abstract:
Method for the production of an adhesive closure device together with an apparatus and adhesive closure device produced accordingly. The invention relates to a method for the production of an adhesive closure device (10), preferably consisting of at least one plastic material, during which a backing (12) with a plurality of protruding stems (14) is connected to individual heads (16) in such a way that for at least a part of the above-mentioned stems (14), the free ends (18) thereof come into contiguous or embedded contact with a contact face (20) of each assignable head (16). The invention relates additionally to an apparatus for carrying out the method and to an adhesive closure device produced according to the method.
Abstract:
A closing mechanism (1; 101; 201; 301) includes a plurality of closing elements (2; 102; 202; 302; 302a) such as hooks, mushroom heads or loops, and a flat carrier (3; 103; 203; 303). The closing elements (2; 102; 202; 302; 302a) protrude from at least one surface (4) of the carrier (3; 103; 203; 303). The closing mechanism (1; 101; 201; 301) has a heater (5; 105; 205; 305), at least in certain sections, which converts supplied energy into heat. The invention also relates to an associated production method.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a surface for an article that has an artificially producible base structure (10). The respective structure (12) has or develops a capillary effect at which the quotient from capillary work (K) and adhesion work (A) is larger 1. The capillary structures and their respective capillaries therefore have a so-called negative capillary rise, that means that liquid is forced from the capillaries, thereby allowing for a self-cleaning effect.
Abstract:
A contact closure component (10) includes a carrier part (12) and closure parts (14a-14b) arranged upright on the carrier part. Each closure part (14a-14b) has at least one stem part (10a-20b) having a pre-definable longitudinal extent (Hs). At least one shaping section (26a-26b) is formed on at least one stem part (20a-20b), in at least one length section (24a-24b). The shaping section is set back at least partially with respect to an imaginary stem outer shape, in the direction of the interior of the stem. At least one shaping section (26a-26b) permits elastic deformation and/or movement longitudinally and/or transversely with respect to the longitudinal extent (Hs) of the respective stem part (20a-20b).
Abstract:
An adhesive closure piece (10) includes a substrate part (12) and closure pieces (20a, 20b) of at least one type arranged upright on the substrate part. The closure pieces each have a head part (14a, 14b) having at its free end face at least one contact surface (22a, 22b) for detachably adhering to another component by adhesive force. The closure piece has at least one connection section (16a, 16b) on the edge of each head part (14a, 14b). The connection section protrudes beyond the edge of the head part (14a, 14b) in at least one direction (30, 36) such that the size of the contact surface (22a, 22b) of the corresponding head part (14a, 14b) is changed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a support device for improving the haptics and/or gripping impression of humanoid or android type hands. Said device comprises an active surface that interacts with parts (16, 18, 22) of the respective hand to carry out a movement and that has individual, stem-like projections, each comprising a free end face such that said projections at least partially improve the adhesion of at least parts of the hand or of a hand protector (10) to surfaces, particularly smooth or delicate surfaces, that are touched. Said invention is characterised in that the respective free end faces (26) of said projections (24) are designed in such a way that the adhesion thereof results from acting van der Waals forces between said free end faces (26) and the respective surface.
