More Information
Summary:A fastening system wherein complementary components each have engaging elements protruding from a backing, and an attractive magnetic force applied through the complementary components. The attractive magnetic force can be supplied by external magnets attached to the backings, or by using a magnetic composite to form the backings and/or the engaging elements. The fastening system is particularly beneficial when used in absorbent articles. La présente invention concerne un système de fixation dans lequel des composants complémentaires comprennent chacun des éléments de fixation faisant saillie depuis un support, et une force magnétique est appliquée à travers les composants complémentaires. La force d'attraction magnétique peut être fournie par des aimants externes attachés aux supports, ou elle peut provenir d'un composite magnétique dans lequel sont réalisés les supports et/ou les éléments de fixation. Le système de fixation de l'invention est d'une utilisation particulièrement avantageuse dans les articles absorbants.
