Abstract

See full text

A fastener member 10 has a generally planar base section 12 and a plurality of engaging strips 14 projecting from one surface of the base section 12 and extending parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction. Each of the engaging strips 14 has a vertical portion 16 adjoining the base section 12, and a head portion 18 formed at the end of the vertical portion 16. The head portion 18 of the engaging strip 14 is provided with a plurality of slots 20 extending transversely through the head portions 18. The slots 20 may be inclined with respect to the base section 12. The slots 20 guide headed stems of the opposed fastener member, and reduce the pressure necessary for interengagement. Even when the compressive force is applied in the direction inclined to the base section 12 of the fastener member 10, the interengagement can be easily obtained without bending the headed stems of the opposed fastener member by the guiding effect of the slots 20.
