Patent ID: 7219403

Claim:
A fastening member extending in a longitudinal direction and in a lateral direction and having a lateral centerline, the fastening member comprising a base panel, wherein the base panel includes a lateral upper edge, a lateral lower edge, a longitudinal leading edge and a longitudinal trailing edge, a longitudinal length between the lateral upper edge and the lateral lower edge wherein the length is constant from the longitudinal leading edge to the longitudinal trailing edge and a shaped tab extending laterally from the longitudinal leading edge of the base panel, wherein the shaped tab has a longitudinal centerline, a lateral centerline, a distal portion and a proximal portion, the shaped tab has a contour edge comprising a shaped upper edge and a shaped lower edge and a longitudinal length between the shaped upper edge and the shaped lower edge that differs from the longitudinal length of the base panel, the shaped upper edge and the shaped lower edge are symmetric with respect to the longitudinal centerline of the shaped tab when relatively shifted in the longitudinal direction and are asymmetric with respect to the lateral centerline of the fastening member, said shaped tab comprising a fastening material.
