Abstract
A fastener structure is formed as a collection of a number of fasteners, each fastener having a head, a filament that is connected to the head, and a crossbar, each fastener being connected to a connected to a common linear support element, via a linking section that is an extension that crosses over the above-noted crossbar in the axial direction of the filament, so that the head parts and the crossbars of each of the fasteners are mutually parallel, wherein the force that is required to bend the above-noted common linear support element along a plane formed by a group of filaments is smaller than the force that is required to bend that bends the fastener structure in another direction.
