Patent ID: 7950114

Claim:
A self-adhering closure device comprising: a first portion including a generally flexible fenestrated base structure including a first surface, a plurality of receptors each defined by a plurality of web members isolating said receptors; and a plurality of first nodules protruding from said first surface at interstices of said web members, a portion of each said nodule extending over a portion of said receptors adjacent to each said nodule, each said nodule having at least one undercut segment having an underside effectively coplanar with said first surface extending over part of an adjacent said receptor to effect a receptor opening between at least two adjacent said first nodules; said first portion configured so that, as measured relative to a plane generally coincident with said first surface, each said first nodule is larger than said receptor opening, each said receptor is at least as large as said first nodule, and the closest distance between adjacent said first nodules is at least as large as the width of each corresponding said web member; and a second portion for effectively adhering to said first portion when at least one of said first nodules are resiliently compressed through corresponding respective receptor openings into corresponding respective receptors of said second portion so that said undersides engage corresponding respective undersides of second nodules associated with said second portion.
