Velcro strips
Explanation:
Durch Zusammenfügen von je einer glatten und einer rauhen Klettleiste entsteht eine stabile und dennoch frei drehbare, stufenlose Verbindung für jede Winkelkonfiguration.
German: www.kaiserkraft.de/Section/12758

Joining each smooth Velcro strip to a rough strip creates a stable yet freely rotating, continuous connection for every angle configuration.

neutral  Goldcoaster: Velcro is a registered trademark, not a system in itself
6 hrs
  -> So is Xerox a trademark but we still say that the pages have been xeroxed. There are countless such examples.
agree  Melanie Nassar : I think Velcro has become accepted as the generic term, but to be on the safe side, you could use hook and loop strips
6 hrs
  -> Danke
agree  Cetacea: @Goldcoaster: There is no other term for "Klett-..." than Velcro in English. And by capitalizing it, Narasimhan made it clear that he is aware of the fact it is a trademark.
