ABSTRACT:
An iron-on hook-and-loop type fastener for effectively securing at least one portion of a hook-and-loop type fastener to a selected material using a heat-sensitive adhesive. The fastener of the present invention includes at least one cooperating portion of a conventional hook-and-loop type fastener and a base member. The base member is a fabric having a heat sensitive adhesive disposed on the bottom face thereof The cooperating portion of the hook-and-loop type fastener is secured to the top face of the base member in a conventional manner such as by sewing at least one row of stitches along the longitudinal center of the fastener portion. The base member defines a width greater than that of the fastener portion in order to provide a greater surface area of engagement between the base member and the material to which it is secured. In order to secure the fastener portion to a selected material, the free edge of the fastener portion is lifted and a hot iron is applied to the top face of the base member. Heat is transferred to the bottom face of the base member to activate the adhesive and create a bond between the base member and the material. After one side of the base member has been secured to the material, the remaining free edge of the fastener portion is lifted and the process is repeated on the remaining portion of the base member.
