  • one main object of the present invention is to provide a hook-and-loop component embedded with a foam material.
  • the hook-and-loop component with hair loops can be fixed in the foaming mold process during the foaming process. After the foaming process, the hook-and-loop component can be detached easily from the mold.
  • a hook-and-loop component embedded with a foam material includes a band body having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface and the second surface being opposite to each other and the hook-and-loop component is characterized in that: a plurality of pores disposed on the band body; a plurality of hair loops disposed on the first surface; and a magnetic material disposed on the second surface and is corresponding to a disposed position of the hair loops;.
  • the disposed position of the hair loops and the magnetic material includes an interval away from an edge of the first surface and the second surface.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a cushion with a hook-and-loop component.
  • the hook-and-loop component with hair loops can be fixed by the magnetic force during the foaming process. After the foaming process, the hook-and-loop component is easily detached from the mold. By the pores of the hook-and-loop component, the hook-and-loop component is fixed in the cushion.
  • a cushion with a hook-and-loop component includes a chair cushion with a hook-and-loop component having a foam material chair body and at least one hook-and-loop component, and the foam material and the hook-and-loop component are integrally formed.
  • the hook-and-loop component includes a band body having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface and the second surface being opposite to each other and the hook-and-loop component is characterized in that: a plurality of pores disposed on the band body; a plurality of hair loops disposed on the first surface; and a magnetic material disposed on the second surface and is corresponding to a disposed position of the hair loops;.
  • the disposed position of the hair loops and the magnetic material includes an interval away from an edge of the first surface and the second surface.
  • a hook-and-loop component embedded with a foam material and a cushion thereof are disclosed in the present invention.
  • the detailed description of the present invention will be discussed in the following embodiments, which are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, but can be adapted for other applications.
