Definitions

  • the present invention relates to sheet materials adapted to be cut into pieces to form the loop portions for fasteners of the type including releasably engageable hook and loop portions, and method for making sheet materials.
  • sheet materials are known that are adapted to be cut into pieces to form the loop portions for fasteners of the type comprising releasably engageable hook and loop portions.
  • Such sheet materials typically comprise a backing and a multiplicity of loops anchored in the backing and projecting a front surface of the backing so that they may be releasably engaged with the hooks on the book portion of such a fastener, and can be made by many method including convention waving, or knitting techniques.
  • Such a sheet material in which the loops are stitched into the backing is described in US-A-4 609 581 and US-A-4 770 914.
  • Another such sheet material described in EP-A-0 289 198; illustrating a prior art according to Art.
  • EPC is made by providing a backing in an unstable state with respect to one direction (i.e., the backing is stretched or capable of being shrunk in that direction), placing filaments on the backing and securing the filaments to the backing at spaced locations, and then causing the backing to move or shrink to a stable state so that the portion of the filaments between the points of attachment form loops.
  • the loop fastener portions made from many such sheet materials may work well with many different hook fastener portions, the processes by which they are made are more expensive or unpredictable than may be desired, particularly when the loop portions are intended for a limited number of use, such as to attach a disposable diaper to an infant, or to attach an abrasive disk to a backing pad by which it is driven.
  • US-A-3 869 764 and US-A-3 533 871 describe methods for forming sheet material that include forming a sheet to have arcuate portions projecting in the same direction from spaced anchor portions of the sheet; and bonding the spaced anchor portions of the sheet to the front surface of a backing with the arcuate portions projecting from the front surface of the backing. While the method described in US-A-3 869 764 forms sheet material adapted to be cut into pieces to form portions for fasteners, that sheet material can only engage itself in one orientation and is not suitable for use in hook and loop fasteners.
  • the sheet material provided by the method described in US-A-3 533 871 is a rug rather than a sheet material from which can be cut loop faster portions for a hook and loop type fasteners.
  • the present invention provides a sheet material adapted to be cut into pieces to form the loop portions for fasteners of the type comprising releasable engageable hook and loop portions, which sheet material provides effective loop fastener portions for such fasteners while being very inexpensive to manufacture so that they are economical to use when the loop fastener portions are intended for a limited amount of use, such as to releasably attach a disposable diaper or other garment, or to attach an abrasive disk to a backing pad by which it is driven.
  • a method for forming a sheet material adapted to be cut into pieces to form loop portions for fasteners of the type having releasably engageable hook and loop portions comprising: providing a sheet formed by fibers and a backing having front and rear major surfaces, the fibers having a basis weight in the range of 5-200 grams per square meter measured along said front surface of the backing to provide sufficient open area between the fibers to afford ready engagement of the hook portion of a said fastener with the fibers in the sheet material; forming the sheet to have arcuate portion projecting in the same direction from spaced anchor portions of them sheet, said arcuate portions being formed with a height from the anchor portions of less than 0.64 cm; bonding the spaced anchor portions of the sheet to the front surface of the backing with the arcuate portions projecting from the said front surface.
  • a disposable garment including a fastener comprising releasably engageable hook and loop portions, said loop portion comprising: a backing having front and rear major surfaces; and a multiplicity of fibers having portions bonded to said backing along said front surface at spaced bonding locations to form arcuate portions of said fibers projecting from the front surface of said backing between said bonding location, said arcuate portions having a height from said backing of less than about 0.64 centimetres (0.250 inch), and said fibers having a basis weight in the range of 4 to 200 grams per square meter measured along said first surface to provide sufficient open area between said fibers along said arcuate portions to afford ready engagement of said fibers along said arcuate portions by the hook portion of said fastener.
  • an abrasive disk comprising a layer having first and second surfaces, an abrasive material adhered along said first surface, and a loop portion for a hook and loop fastener attached along said second surface, said loop portion comprising: a backing having front and rear major surfaces with said rear surface attached along the second surface of said layer; and a multiplicity of fibers having portions bonded to said backing along said front surface at spaced bonding locations to form arcuate portions of said fibers projecting from the front surface of said backing therebetween said bonding locations, said arcuate portions having a height from said backing of less than about centimetres, and said fibers having a sis weight in the range of 5 to 200 grams per square meter measured along said front surface to provide sufficient open area between said fibers along said arcuate portions to afford ready engagement of said fibers along said arcuate portions by the hook portion of said fastener.
  • the ridges can be elongate and generally parallel so that the bonding locations are also elongate and generally parallel and are continuous in one direction across the front surface of the backing so that continuous rows of the arcuate portions extend across the backing of the sheet material, or alternately in the ridges can be elongate, generally parallel, and in a regular pattern of discontinuous lengths so that the parallel bonding locations are also in a regular pattern of discontinuous lengths to form a regular pattern of discontinuous rows of the arcuate portions along the front surface of the backing.
  • the ridges of the first corrugating member can form interlocking closed patterns (e.g., circular, diamond shaped, octagonal, etc.) to form corresponding patterns for the arcuate portions of the fibers along the front surface of the backing, in which case the second corrugating member will be formed with post like ridges to press the fibers into the centers of the closed patterns.
  • interlocking closed patterns e.g., circular, diamond shaped, octagonal, etc.
  • Elongate ridges on the corrugating members can be oriented at any angle in the range of 0 to 90 degrees with respect to their axes so that the rows of arcuate portions, whether continuous or discontinuous, can be oriented along or transverse to the sheet of fibers fed between the corrugating member or at any angle therebetween.
  • the backing could be a woven, knitted, random woven, nonwoven or other layer of intertwined fibers, but preferably is a continuous polymeric film in the range of about 0.0025 to 0.013 centimeters (0.001 to 0.005 inch) thick which is generally less expensive than a backing of entwined fibers and allows the backing to be printed by conventional methods along one of its surfaces with graphics (such as advertising, instructions or locating marks) which will be visible through the loop portions of the fibers due to their large percentage of open area.
  • graphics such as advertising, instructions or locating marks
  • the film may be a single layer of a polymeric material such as polypropylene, polyester, or polyamide; or may have a plurality of layers such as a central layer of a relatively high strength material such as polyester, a layer defining the first surface of a material more easily bonded to the fiber such as ethylene vinyl acetate or polyethylene, and a layer defining its second surface adapted to adhere the backing to a substrate such as polyethylene or a bonding layer of room-temperature non-tacky thermoplastic material adapted to adhere a fastener portion to a polyolefin layer (such as may be found on a disposable diaper) that can be bonded to the polyolefin layer under heat and pressure that leaves the polyolefin layer substantially undeformed and will hold the fastener portion to the polyolefin layer with greater force than that which is required to separate an engaged fastener, which bonding layer of room-temperature non-tacky thermoplastic material is described in U.S.
  • Patent application No. 126,746 filed November 30, 1987 can include from about 40% to about 100% of a thermoplastic material having a softening point of generally below 120 degrees Centigrade and preferably below 100 degrees Centigrade, and from about 60% to about 0% of a tackifying resin that has a softening point below about 105 degrees Centigrade and preferably below 95 degrees Centigrade.

  • the individual fibers may be of many polymeric materials such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, or polyamide, or combinations of such materials such as a core of polyester and a sheath of polypropylene which provides relatively high strength due to its core material and is easily bonded due to its sheath material.
