Abstract

The invention relates to a laminate comprising at least one support element in the form of a non-woven fabric selected from the group consisting of an SM (Spunbond-Meltblown), an SMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond), an SMMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Meltblown-Spunbond), and an SSMMS (Spunbond-Spunbond-Meltblown-Meltblown-Spunbond), having a lower face and an upper face, and at least one non-woven fabric with loops made of a material comprising synthetic thermoplastic polymers, having a lower face and an upper face. The upper face of the support element is secured to the lower face of the non-woven fabric with loops. The curve representing the force required to stretch the laminate along a given axis of the laminate, as a function of elongation, includes a segment in which, starting from a zero elongation value, the force increases from zero up to a maximum force, where the maximum force corresponds to the rupture of the laminate, and the curve comprises an inflection point (Pi) on the segment.

Abstract

A non-woven fabric (10) includes at least one reinforcement area (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d), whereon fibers and/or filaments making up the fabric are bonded according to a reinforcement pattern (22) including a plurality of geometric shapes (24). The reinforcement area extends over the entire length (L) of the fabric measured in a longitudinal direction (X1) and over a width (11, 12) that is strictly less than the width (1) of the fabric (10) measured in a lateral direction (Y1) orthogonal to the longitudinal direction (X1). The fabric (10) thus also includes at least one non-reinforced area (30a, 30b). Because of the bonding between the fibers and/or the filaments, the elongation of the reinforced area (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d) resulting from a given force being exerted in the longitudinal direction of the fabric (10) is less than the elongation of the non-reinforced area when subjected to the same force. Such a fabric (10) is particularly useful for manufacturing a laminated assembly.

The retaining element has a first side wall (11) and a second side wall (12) that are spaced apart from each other in a lateral direction, and a base (20) connecting together said side walls (11, 12). The side walls (11, 12) and the base (20) define a retaining groove (14) that is open in a main direction (z) in order to receive a counterpart having hooks or loops. According to the invention, at least one of the side walls (11, 12) presents a plurality of hooks (30) adapted to co-operate with the counterpart, each hook (30) having at least one hooking portion oriented towards the base (20) of the retaining element (10).
