Abstract

Molded touch fastener elements (102) or hooks that feature a head (106) or crook (256) that is quite large with respect to the size of the overall hook, or with respect to the entrance (E) below the hook heads through which the loops must pass for engagement to occur. The hooks are particularly useful for high cycle life applications when mated with low loft loops.
