Abstract
An attachment apparatus for selectively attaching a device to a flexible material, includes a first member, a second member, and a void. The first member has a first wall defining a first opening. The first member includes a first retention feature. The second member has a second retention feature selectively attached to the first retention feature in an attached state to connect the second member to the first member and to the flexible material. The void is formed between the second surface of the first wall and the flexible material when the second member is in the attached state. The first member is operable to support the device within the void between the second surface of the first member and the flexible material when the second member is in the attached state.
Claims27
An attachment apparatus for selectively attaching a device to a flexible material, the attachment apparatus comprising:
- a first member having a first wall defining a first opening and including a first surface and a second surface formed on an opposite side of the first wall than the first surface, the first member including a first projection extending in a direction away from the second surface and including a first retention feature;
- a second member having a second retention feature selectively attached to the first retention feature in an attached state to connect the second member to the first member and to the flexible material;
- and
- a void formed between the second surface of the first wall and the flexible material when the second member is in the attached state and operable to receive the device therein, the first member operable to support the device within the void between the second surface of the first member and the flexible material when the second member is in the attached state.
An attachment apparatus for selectively attaching a device to a flexible material, the attachment apparatus comprising:
- a first member having a first wall including a first surface and a second surface formed on an opposite side of the first wall than the first surface and a second wall extending from the second surface and including an engagement surface;
- a second member selectively attached to the first member in an attached state to connect the second member to the first member and to the flexible material;
- and
- a void bounded by the second surface of the first wall, the second wall, and the flexible material when the second member is in the attached state and the engagement surface is in contact with the flexible material, the first member operable to support the device within the void when the second member is in the attached state.
