7. Hook-and-loop fastener - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook-and-loop_fastener

   When one or both of the pieces is flexible, e.g., a pocket flap, the pieces can be pulled apart with a peeling action that applies the force to relatively few hooks at a time. If a flexible piece is pulled in a direction parallel to the plane of the surface, then the force is spread evenly, as it is with rigid pieces.
