Abstract

A hook and loop-type fastener system is provided with a shield disposed between the mated, juxtaposed hooked and looped surfaces of the fastener to preclude premature and inadvertent engagement. Once the two components of the fasteners have been properly positioned relative to one another, the shield may be removed, thereby facilitating engagement and bonding of the surfaces to one another.
