Abstract
A fixing device for mounting a sign to a post, the rear of the sign having a channel member with inturned lips. A strap around the post is connected to the channel by a pair of attachment members. Each member has a neck which extends through the channel mouth and an enlarged head which is retained within the channel by the lips. The neck part widens towards the head part to provide shoulders which bite into the channel lips when the strap is tightened, and thereby lock the device against movement along the channel.
Claims8
An attachment member for use in fixing an article to a channel-shaped member, the mouth of the channel being restricted by inturned lips, the attachment member comprising a head part to be located within the channel and be retained by the lips thereof, a narrower neck part connected to the head part for extending through the restricted mouth of the channel, and a body part connected to the neck part and attached or adapted for attachment to a strap to be fastened around said article to hold it to the channel-shaped member, the neck part of the attachment member widening in the region of the head part, but with at least the initial widening being spaced from the head part, to provide shoulders between the neck part and the head part to bear edgewise upon the inside surfaces of the channel lips when the strap is tightened around the post and locally deform the lips so as to key the attachment member against movement along the channel.
