A hybrid male coupling member adaptable to couple with at least two types of female coupling members includes a one piece integrally molded housing having a front engagement wall, a fluid path being defined by an inner wall. The inner wall has an engagement section disposed proximate a front end of the housing. The male coupling member further includes a first groove being disposed around an outer wall of the housing and a second groove being disposed in the first groove. When the male coupling member couples with the first female coupling member, the engagement section of the male coupling member engages with a spring-biased poppet of the first female coupling member and forces the poppet toward a back end of the first female coupling member so as to allow the fluid to flow therethrough, a plastic clip being received in the first groove to latch the male coupling member and the first female coupling member together. When the male coupling member couples with the second female coupling member, the front engagement wall of the male coupling member engages with a spring-biased poppet of the second female coupling member and forces the poppet toward a back end of the second female coupling member so as to allow the fluid to flow therethrough, a metal clip being disposed in the second groove to latch the male coupling member and the second female coupling member together.

A bumper button or strip comprising (a) a rubbery cushion of oil-plasticized thermoplastic elastomer, (b) a dual-layer film, one layer of which is a polyolefin such as polyethylene fused to the rubbery cushion, the other layer of which is an oriented polyester polymer such as biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate film, and (c) a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer adhered to the polyester polymer. The polyester polymer serves as a barrier to prevent migration of the plasticizing oil into the pressure-sensitive adhesive.

A strip material from which portions may be severed to form portions of fasteners, including a flexible bonding layer, U-shaped monofilaments bonded in the bonding layer and having headed projecting portions, a low density foam layer on the side of the bonding layer opposite the headed projections, and a layer of soft tacky pressure sensitive adhesive on the side of the layer of foam opposite the bonding layer.
