Velcro (also known as a hook and loop fastener) is a fastening system consisting of a piece of fabric of small hooks that sticks to a corresponding fabric of small loops. It produces a distinctive ripping sound when separating the two pieces. Due to its ease of use compared to alternative fastening systems like [[buttons]] and [[zipper|zippers]], it is a common feature for clothing for [[child|children]], elderly, and the disabled who may have difficulty with laces, buttons, and zippers. [i]Due to the prominence of the Velcro Brand, hook-and-loop fasteners are often referred to by the genericized trademark [b]velcro[/b] in English. Compare to adhesive bandage → [[bandaid]].[/i] Updated by bot Sun, Sep 18 '22, 02:55 |
