Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A surface-type fastener comprising a pair of base strips each having longitudinal ridges and transverse ribs defining therebetween elongate apertures and a plurality of rows of interengaging elements, said apertures extending through said base strips, said interengaging elements each having a stem portion extending substantially vertically upward from said longitudinal ridges, and a hookable engaging arm which is substantially as large as said aperture, and said interengaging elements in one row being offset in position with respect to those elements in the next adjoining row, and spaced-apart longitudinally to provide an engaging space in which said arms of said base strips can be resiliently engaged with one another when said base strips are pressed together.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
115 words
A surface-type fastener comprising a pair of base strips each having longitudinal ridges and transverse ribs defining therebetween elongate apertures and a plurality of rows of interengaging elements, said apertures extending through said base strips, said interengaging elements each having a stem portion extending substantially vertically upward from said longitudinal ridges, and a hookable engaging arm which is substantially as large as said aperture, and said interengaging elements in one row being offset in position with respect to those elements in the next adjoining row, and spaced-apart longitudinally to provide an engaging space in which said arms of said base strips can be resiliently engaged with one another when said base strips are pressed together.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A surface-type fastener according to claim 1 wherein said engaging arm comprises a pair of hook shaped engaging arm portions bifurcating from said stem portion in opposite directions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
A surface-type fastener according to claim 1 or claim 2, wherein said interengaging elements are arranged having a spacing such that when said base strips are pressed together a plurality of interengaging elements each are engaged to respective adjacent elements of said opposite base strip on both longitudinal sides of each of said elements along said row in a continuous chain-like fashion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
A surface-type fastener according to claim 2, wherein said hook-shaped engaging arm portions have rounded outer peripheral surfaces.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
