Patent ID: 8590119

Claim:
A fastening system comprising: an engaging component comprising a plurality engaging elements comprising hook elements; and a receiving component comprising a nonwoven web configured to be engaged by the engaging elements, the receiving component comprising: a) a longitudinal axis corresponding to the direction in which the nonwoven web is fed into a pair of calendering rolls for manufacturing the receiving component comprising a nonwoven fiber by nipping and pressing the fibers to form a plurality of bond lines, and a lateral axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; b) the bond lines repeatedly formed, extending in the lateral axis direction taking a configuration of repeating units, wherein at least a certain portion of the bond line is continuous, respectively, and wherein the bond lines are generally parallel with each other; c) a bond zone circumscribing the bond lines with a rectangle made of lines matching the longitudinal axis and the lateral axis; d) a plurality of sweep regions within the bond zone, each sweep region being identical to the contact area between the nonwoven web and the calendering rolls upon manufacturing of the receiving component having a designated length in the longitudinal direction between 0.1 mm to 1.2 mm, wherein the plurality of sweep regions are consecutive to each other within the bond zone, each sweep region having a bonded area, wherein the bonded area is the total of the bond lines in a particularly defined area; and e) the bonded area of a particular sweep region having the greatest bonded area of the total bonding lines within the bond zone defined as the maximum bonded area; and another particular sweep region having the smallest bonded area of the total bonding lines within the bond zone defined as the minimum bonded area; wherein at least two bond lines coexist in a particular sweep region, and wherein the receiving component has a bond ratio of the maximum bonded area to the minimum bonded area of from 1 to 20.
