The present invention relates to an attachment collar for elongate elements, the collar comprising a belt portion suitable for being fastened on a support, the belt portion being open and defining an inside space suitable for receiving the elongate element. In order to close the belt portion and thus retain the elongate elements in the inside space, the collar firstly an array of gripping elements made of plastics material injected integrally with the belt portion and situated on its outside face, and secondly a tape secured to the belt portion via one of its ends, the inside face of the tape presenting retention means suitable for co-operating with the gripping elements of the belt portion in order to secure the tape and the belt portion together, the belt portion presenting stiffness that is greater than the stiffness of the tape.

Attachment collar for elongate elements

An assembly comprising a molded article and a cover that covers the molded article, a longitudinal groove being formed in the molded article while being open to the outside, two elements having hooks being overmolded in the molded article so as to form the bottom of the groove at least in part, the hooks penetrating into openings in loops stemming from the cover so as to hook therein and thereby fasten the cover to the molded article, and at least two overmolded elements having hooks are provided that form the bottom of the trench at least in part by being placed one behind the other in the longitudinal direction, the two elements having hooks being separated from each other by an intermediate zone in which there is no element having hooks, and means are provided for preventing the cover from riding up towards the top of the trench.

Assembly made up of a cover and of a molded article including a plurality of overmolded elements having hooks

Door panel assembly of an automobile, having a door paneland a sound-insulating sheetattached to the door panel, characterised in that the door panel has hooks on its surface to which the sound-insulating sheet is attached, and a looped knitted fabric or a looped non-woven fabric' is attached to the surface of the sound-insulating sheet to be attached to the panel, the looped knitted or non-woven fabric weighing between 15 and 60 g/m, preferably between 15 and 40 g/m.

Door panel with self-gripping hooks

An article over which a moulding is to be made, aid moulded-over article comprising a basehaving a top surfaceand a bottom surfacehooksextending from the bottom surfaceof the base and metallic material fixed on the top surface of the base, the hooksbeing disposed in a region in the form of a longitudinal strip, the base is flat in shape, the hook strip has a width less than 12 mm, preferably between 3 and 10 mm, and the flat baseis of a material such and of a thickness such that it can undergo deformation to follow the shapes of top edges of walls on which the article for moulding over is intended to be placed by its bottom surface.

Moulded-over article with a small band comprising hooks

Overmould comprising a base having a central section, from a first side of which hooks project which form the male part of a self-gripping member, two sections forming selvages, laterally from each side of the central section, and magnetic means which can cooperate with a magnet in order to attract the overmould, is characterized in that the selvages each comprise at least two ribs, preferably at least three or four ribs, which project from the selvages on the same side of the base as the hooks.

Overmould with anti-intrusion ribs

The invention relates to a motor vehicle having a housing, at least one part of the internal surface of which is covered by at least one lining panel (), and objects () such as cables, flexible printed circuits, flexible flat cables or anti-vibration blocks which are disposed between the lining panel () and the housing. One of the faces of the lining panel(s) () is provided with loops and male anchoring elements, particularly hooks (), which are used to fix the objects and/or housing, with which said hooks are associated, to the panel(s).

Looped fabric roof

A laminated tape including a self-gripping sheet with hook-fastening elements, characterized by a layer of plastic foam and a layer of metal which can be attracted by a magnet and which is inserted between the layer of plastic and the self-gripping sheet.
