Patent ID: 7789870

Claim:
A fastening system comprising: an engaging component comprising a plurality of engaging elements; a receiving component, wherein the engaging component is capable of engaging the receiving member, the receiving component comprising: a nonwoven fabric comprising: composite fibers having a first propylene polymer and a second propylene polymer, wherein the first and second propylene polymers extend continually in a longitudinal direction and the second propylene type polymer is associated with the first propylene type polymer such that the composite fiber forms a crimp therein; embossed sections having a plurality of zigzag unit patterns arranged in a machine direction with predetermined spacings, the zigzag unit patterns continually extending substantially parallel with a cross direction of the embossing roll, wherein the zigzag unit patterns each comprise a continual zigzag pattern in which a plurality of first diagonal lines and a plurality of second diagonal lines are arranged alternately and are connected together adjacent to end parts of the diagonal lines, the first diagonal lines being arranged at a first angle with respect to the cross direction and being inclined to one side at about the same first angle relative to the machine direction, the second diagonal lines being arranged at a second angle with respect to the cross direction and being inclined to the other side at about the same second angle relative to the machine direction, wherein the first diagonal lines and the second diagonal lines in the zigzag unit pattern form triangles comprising three adjacent contact points of diagonal lines, the triangles including part of the zigzag unit pattern extending in the machine direction adjacent thereto; and nonembossed sections, wherein the composite fibers are bonded together in the embossed sections, and wherein the unit pattern has a ratio of W 1 /W 2 in the range of about 0.5 to about 2.0.
