A fastening product, in the form of a flexible, sheet-form substrate () having a surface (); a plurality of walls () extending from the surface () and defining therebetween an array () of cells () bounded by the walls () such that the walls separate adjacent cells of the array, the substrate () forming a floor () of each cell; and a plurality of fastener elements () extending from the surface () and interspersed among the cells (). The fastener elements having heads () spaced above the surface () to define loop engagement overhangs () disposed within the cells. The cells () of the array () are arranged in columns () and rows (), each column and each row comprising at least three of the cells, such that there exists at least one closed path () within the substrate () that fully circumscribes at least one of the cells.

Touch fastening product face configuration

A touch fastener including an elongated base having multiple segments connected by articulable joints. Each segment has an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of touch fastener elements extending from the lower surface of the base. A flexible barrier extends across at least one articulable joint between adjacent base segments. The fastener may include a magnetically attractable material disposed along a center region of the upper surface of the base. The fastener base may define a pair of first and second notches in opposite longitudinal edges of the base at the articulable joint to allow bending of the base. The base may also define a slit extending through the base from a longitudinal edge thereof at the articulable joint.
