Abstract

A Velcro band structure includes a Velcro band attachable to a binding band wherein the Velcro band has a plurality of retaining areas with registration hoops and a plurality of separation areas without the registration hoops thereof defining the upper surface thereon, and the retaining areas and the separation areas thereof can be made in any shapes and are alternatively arranged in regular or irregular manner. The registration hoops of the retaining areas are engaged with a fleece facet of the binding band thereof to form a plurality of buckling sections individually isolated by the separation areas thereof for buckling up a combined article thereby. Thus, the buckling areas between the Velcro band and the binding band thereof are relatively reduced, facilitating an easy and effort-saving detachment of the Velcro band from the binding band thereof, and cutting down the noisy sound generated in the peeling-off operation without influencing the stable sticky effect thereof Besides, the Velcro band easily detachable without annoyingly limited by time or place can also avoid damaging some soft combined articles like clothes or fabric bags in the peeling-off operation, efficiently fitting to combined articles of various materials to achieve widespread use thereof.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is related to a Velcro band structure, including a Velcro band attachable to a binding band wherein the Velcro band has a plurality of retaining areas with registration hoops and a plurality of separation areas without the registration hoops thereof that are alternatively arranged in regular or irregular manner at the upper surface thereon; whereby, the registration hoops of the retaining areas are mutually engaged with a fleece facet of the binding band thereof to form a plurality of buckling sections individually isolated by the separation areas thereof for buckling up a combined article thereby, reducing the buckling areas between the Velcro band and the binding band thereof to facilitate an easy and effort-saving detachment thereof and cut down the noisy sound generated in the sudden peeling-off without influencing the stable sticky effect thereof. Besides, the Velcro band detachable without annoyingly limited by time or place can also avoid damaging some soft combined articles like clothes or fabric bags in the peeling-off operation, efficiently fitting to combined articles of various materials to achieve widespread use thereof
Please refer to FIG. 1. A conventional Velcro band structure is made up of a male fastening band 10 with a plurality of registration hoops 11 arranged at one surface thereon with which a fleece facet 11′ of a female fastening band 10′ is detachably engaged for buckling up of various combined articles such as handbags, shoes, or clothes, etc. thereby.
However, there are some drawbacks to such conventional Velcro band structure. First, the registration hoops 11 are densely arranged at all surface of the male fastening band 10 thereon and fully attached to the fleece facet 11′ of the female fastening band 10′ as shown in FIG. 2. Due to the large buckling areas thereof, the male fastening band 10 is securely bound with the female fastening band 10′, which tends to make it difficult to detach the male fastening band 10 from the female fastening band 10′. In case of great force applied to detach the male and female fastening bands 10, 10′ thereby, the sudden peeling off of the detachment thereof can easily throw out the things carried at the combined article like a handbag therein and results in the inconvenience in practical use. Second, when the registration hoops 11 densely arranged at the surface of the male fastening band 10 thereon are suddenly detached from the fleece facet 11′ of the female fastening band 10′, great noisy sound is disturbingly generated in the peeling-off operation thereof, which, besides annoying to the ears of people around, can embarrassingly destroy the silence of a public place like a library. Third, in case the male and female fastening bands 10, 10′ thereof are applied onto a soft combined article such as clothes or a fabric bag, the great force applied in the peeling-off operation thereof can easily destroy and tear off the combined article thereof Thus, the conventional Velcro band structure is quite limited in practical use.

SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVETION

It is, therefore, the primary purpose of the present invention to provide a Velcro band structure, including a Velcro band attachable to a binding band wherein the Velcro band has a plurality of retaining areas with registration hoops and a plurality of separation areas without the registration hoops thereof that are alternatively arranged in regular or irregular manner at the upper surface thereon; whereby, the registration hoops of the retaining areas are mutually engaged with a fleece facet of the binding band thereof to form a plurality of buckling sections individually isolated by the separation areas thereof for buckling up a combined article thereby, reducing the buckling areas between the Velcro band and the binding band thereof to facilitate an easy and effort-saving detachment thereof and cut down the noisy sound generated in the peeling-off operation thereof so that the Velcro band can be easily and comfortably detached without annoyingly limited by time or place to achieve the best using condition thereof
It is, therefore, the second purpose of the present invention to provide a Velcro band structure wherein, via the registration hoops of the retaining areas alternatively interrelated to the separation areas to reduce the buckling areas thereof, the Velcro band can also avoid damaging some soft combined articles like clothes or fabric bags in the peeling-off operation thereof, efficiently fitting to combined articles of various materials to achieve widespread use thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Please refer to FIGS. 3 to 7 inclusive. The present invention is related to a Velcro band structure, including a Velcro band 20 that is integrally woven to form a plurality of retaining areas 21 with registration hoops 211 and a plurality of separation areas 22 without the registration hoops 211 thereof defining the upper surface thereon, and the registration hoops 211 of the retaining areas 21 are provided with openings 212 properly cut at preset spots thereon as shown in FIG. 4. The retaining areas 21 and the separation areas 22 thereof can be made in any shapes such as rectangles, oblique stripes as shown in FIG. 5, or triangles as shown in FIG. 6 and are alternatively interrelated each to the other in regular or irregular arrangement thereof. The registration hoops 211 of the retaining areas 21 can be detachably engaged with a fleece facet 31 of a binding band 30 to buckle up various combined articles 40 like handbags, shoes, or clothes, etc. thereby as shown in FIG. 7.
Please refer to FIG. 8. In practical use, the retaining areas 21 are alternatively arranged with the separation areas 22 thereof so that the fleece facet 22 of the binding band 30 thereof are attached only to the retaining areas 21 to form a plurality of buckling sections 23 individually isolated by the separation areas 22 thereof. Thus, the buckling areas between the Velcro band 20 and the binding band 30 thereof are relatively reduced to facilitate an easier and more effort-saving detachment of the Velcro band 20 from the binding band 30 thereof and avoid damaging some soft combined articles 40 like clothes or fabric bags in the instant peeling-off operation thereof, efficiently fitting the Velcro band 20 to combined articles 40 of various materials to achieve widespread use thereof. Besides, the noisy sound generated in the peeling-off operation of the Velcro band 20 and the binding band 30 is precisely cut down without any influence to the stable binding effect thereof so that the Velcro band 20 can be comfortably and easily detached without annoyingly limited by time or place to achieve the best using condition thereof.
