a similar hook and loop/ring design
Inventor George de Mestral noticed that he and his dog were coated with cockleburr seed casings ... It was these natural hooks which clung so stubbornly to the loose weave of his pants and the dog's fur. George de Mestral believed that a fastening device made from a similar hook and loop design could serve as well as the metal zipper.
Hi,
Do the bolded parts in the above amount to "were covered with," "the untied/unfastened part," and "ring" respectively? Thanks.

Hi Angliholic Angliholic Do the bolded parts in the above amount to - "were covered with" ==> Yes - "the untied/unfastened part" ==> No, this refers to how tightly the individual threads in the fabric were woven together. This is a picture of a piece of loosely woven fabric: - "ring" ==> A loop could be something that is roughly circular, but it could also be (for example) a piece of string or thread which is loosely fixed on both sides so that there is adequate space for something to easily slide under or through the middle part of it (as in the threads of loosely woven fabric, for example).
