  • the Velcro fastener is usually formed in two parts, the connecting parts of one part of the chain fastener a hook shape, a mushroom shape, an arrow shape, a horn shape or the like. have and with an appropriate loop or loop material of the other part of the Velcro fastener work together, as soon as the addressed parts of the Velcro fastener are placed on top of each other and be squeezed together.
  • the closure in question is can be released again with the usual actuation forces, with the "Connect” and "Disconnect” steps as often as you like in the usual service life have such closures made.
  • Velcro fasteners for this purpose also for fastening Panels and covers used on a basic vehicle structure.
  • the problem often arises that there are large distances between the basic vehicle structure and the object to be fastened are to be bridged. With The usual distances cannot be obtained with the usual Velcro fasteners achieve.
  • the adhesive part of the Velcro fastener has at least one spacer, the connection with the other part of the Velcro fastener in the form of a loop or Loop material producing respective connecting part usually in the form of a Hook or mushroom shape at a greater distance from the foot side Bring the holding part, using the spacer used here a support for the opposite loop or loop material the other part of the Velcro fastener forms with the consequence that despite increased distance a secure bond between the two parts of the Velcro fastener is achieved.
  • the method for producing such a Velcro fastener is thereby characterized in that at least for the respective spacers and the respective Spacers of each adhesive part with a casting or spraying die Predefinable shape recesses is provided, which are superimposed congruently and be filled with a molding compound provided for this purpose.
  • one part of the Velcro fastener has a large number seen in rows next to each other and one behind the other in the image plane arranged adhesive parts 10.
  • the respective adhesive part 10 has a connecting part 12 on the head side a triangular shape seen in the direction of Fig.1.
  • the respective Connecting part 12 is via a rod-like spacer 14 with a foot side arranged holding part 16 of the adhesive part 10 connected, the holding parts 16 to form a coherent band to form the Velcro fastener are interconnected.
  • the respective adhesive part 10 has at least one Spacer 18 on.
  • the respective spacer 18 can, as shown in FIG. 1, on the end face viewed in the manner of arms left and right over the spacer 14 protrude and thus be part of the spacer 14; but there is also Possibility to use the spacer 18, as shown in FIG. 2, as part of the Holding part 16 in one piece with this.
  • FIG.3 seen the lower half of the picture shows a perspective section of the part the Velcro fastener, as shown in Fig.1 from the front 3, for the sake of simplicity, only one adhesive part 10 is shown.
  • the holding part 16 is a band-like structure and that the spacer 18 in shape a partition plate is formed and the rod-like or plate-like spacer 14 extends approximately in the middle.
  • the connecting part 12 in the manner of an arrow stands with its marginal surfaces over the marginal surfaces of the spacer 14 before, so that along the longitudinal direction of the upper end of the spacer 14 two longitudinal hooks 20 are formed, the engagement of a loop or Loop material (not shown) are used that are not part of the other shown part of the Velcro fastener are.
  • the plate-like spacers form 18 a substantially uniformly extending plane, which in its Alignment runs parallel to the band-like holding part 16. Between Spacers 18 adjacent adhesive parts 10 there is only a slight axial distance that prevents the Loop or loop material of the other part of the Velcro fastener between the distances thus formed, what the intended connection could affect. Rather, they are the connecting parts 12 facing tops of the plate-like spacers 18 arranged such that this is a support surface for the loop or loop material to be placed form. Due to the axial distance between the respective spacers 18 and the top of the holding parts 16 facing them is a Free space formed, which may be the rear ventilation of the to be manufactured Association serves.
  • the respective connecting part 12 also have a shape as shown in the upper half of the figure Figure 3 is shown, looking in the direction of Figure 3 from left to right seen a hook shape, a T shape, a mushroom shape, a horn shape as well an arrow shape for the connecting part 12 are realized.
  • Other other designs are possible and depend on the specific application from.
  • the method for producing the above-mentioned Velcro fastener is explained in more detail below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the method is characterized in that, at least for the respective spacer 14 and the respective spacer 18 of an adhesive part 10, a casting or spraying die 22, 24 and 26 is provided with predeterminable mold recesses 28, which are superimposed congruently and filled with a molding compound 30 provided for this purpose .
  • a casting or spraying die 22, 24 and 26 is provided with predeterminable mold recesses 28, which are superimposed congruently and filled with a molding compound 30 provided for this purpose .
  • a perforation 32 which are superimposed by a conveying means 34.
  • the conveying means 34 is circular in cross-section and is designed as a longitudinal roller (not shown).
  • the conveying means 34 is also provided on the outer peripheral side with shaped recesses 28, so that the conveying means 34 can be regarded as part of a further die 36.
  • the respective connecting part 12 according to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 (lower half of the figure) is produced by filling it with the molding compound 30 via the respective recess 28 in the form of a wedge in the further die 36.
  • the further die 36 thus forms a type of form roller, the outer circumference has the shape recesses 28 for the respective connecting part 12 and is provided on the edge with driver elements 38 in the manner of triangular serrations, as exemplified and partly in Fig.4 on the right are shown.
  • driver elements 38 are at least partially for the Engagement with the perforations 32 of the other matrices 22, 24 and 26 in this way provided that their shape recesses 28 assigned one above the other are successively transportable to a corresponding feed station 40 and can be filled with the molding compound 30.
  • the feed station 40 is formed in the manner of an extrusion device with which as a molding compound 30 extrudable plastic in the superimposed mold recesses 28 of the matrices 22, 24 and 26 is filled.
