HOOK-AND-LOOP FASTENER HAVING RETROREFLECTIVE ABILITY

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hook-and-loop fastener having retroreflective ability both in a front surface layer and in a rear surface layer of the hook-and-loop fastener, in which engaging force of the hook-and-loop fastener is hardly lowered by retroreflective ability imparted thereto.SOLUTION: In a hook-and-loop fastener 1, many engaging elements rising from a surface exist on the surface of a base cloth comprising a warp 2, a weft 3, and an engaging element yarn 4, and the weft contains a heat-sealing fiber, and a root of each engaging element is fixed to the base cloth by the heat-sealing fiber. In the retroreflective hook-and-loop fastener, a retroreflective yarn 5 is woven into the base cloth in parallel with the warp, and the retroreflective yarn is exposed to both the front and rear surfaces of the base cloth.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】再帰反射性能を付与することにより面ファスナーの係合力を殆ど低下させることがなく、さらに面ファスナーの表面層及び裏面層ともに光再帰反射性能を有する面ファスナーを提供する。【解決手段】経糸２、緯糸３および係合素子用糸４からなる基布の表面に、同表面から立ち上がる多数の係合素子が存在しており、該緯糸が熱融着性繊維を含み、同熱融着性繊維により係合素子の根元が基布に固定されている面ファスナー１であって、該経糸に平行に再帰反射性糸５が基布に織り込まれており、基布の表裏両面に再帰反射性糸が露出している再帰反射性面ファスナー。【選択図】図１
