A male component (20) of a male and female fastening system, such as a hook and loop fastener, that can remain fastened to a female component (22) under high levels of shear force. The male component (20) has a backing material with projections (23) extending from the backing material (30) at an angle toward the direction of fastener force. The combination of the male component (20) with a standard female loop component results in a secure fastening system. The combination of the male component (20) with a standard female loop component is particularly beneficial when used in absorbent articles.

L'invention concerne un composant mâle d'un système d'attache mâle/femelle, tel qu'un système de fermeture à boucles et crochets, ce composant mâle pouvant rester attaché au composant femelle, même lorsqu'il est soumis à des niveaux élevés de force de cisaillement. Le composant mâle comprend un matériau support pourvu d'éléments saillants s'étendant à partir du matériau support et formant un angle avec ce dernier, en direction du sens d'application de la force. La combinaison de ce composant mâle et d'un composant femelle classique à boucles résulte en un système d'attache sûr, cette combinaison étant particulièrement bénéfique lorsqu'on l'utilise dans des articles absorbants.
