Adhesive attachment

Means for applying an attachment to a support which includes:

• an attachment;
• a first resilient pad connected to said attachment;
• a second resilient pad around said attachment and having adhesive means for temporary connection to said support;
• and
• support means overlying said first and second resilient pads and connected to both, said support means having a first position wherein said attachment is withdrawn into said second resilient pad, and is selectively movable into a second position wherein said attachment is resiliently urged outwardly of said second resilient pad toward said support to place said second resilient pad under tension and said first resilient pad under compression whereby said first and second resilient pads cooperate to apply a force to said attachment to urge said attachment toward the support.

Apparatus for applying an attachment to a surface comprising:

• an attachment for engagement with the surface;
• support means for movably supporting said attachment for movement between a first position with said attachment spaced from bearing engagement with the surface and a second position with said attachment in bearing engagement with the surface;
• resilient means carried by said support means;
• connector means for temporarily securing said resilient means with respect to the surface adjacent said attachment said support means being movable between said first and second positions while said connector means is secured with respect to the surface, and said resilient means being positioned between said support means and the surface;
• and
• said resilient means being placed under tension upon movement of said support means to said second position for reacting between said support means and the surface for urging said support means toward said attachment for applying a force to said attachment to urge said attachment in a direction toward the surface.

Means for applying an attachment to a support, comprising:

• an attachment;
• means supporting said attachment;
• connector means for temporary connection of said supporting means with respect to said support, said supporting means being movable while temporarily connected with respect to said support between a first position with said attachment out of bearing engagement with said support and a second position with said attachment in bearing engagement with said support;
• and
• a resilient pad connected between said connector means and said supporting means, said pad being annular in shape and spaced radially outwardly from said attachment, said pad being placed under tension upon movement of said supporting means to said second position, whereby said pad applies a force to said supporting means and said attachment to urge said attachment in a direction toward said support.

Apparatus for applying an attachment to a surface, comprising:

• an attachment for engagement with the surface;
• support means for movably supporting said attachment for movement between a first position with said attachment spaced from bearing engagement with the surface and a second position with said attachment in bearing engagement with the surface;
• resilient means interposed between said attachment and said support means;
• connector means for temporarily securing said support means with respect to the surface adjacent said attachment, said support means being movable between said first and second positions while temporarily secured with respect to the surface;
• and
• said resilient means being placed under compression upon movement of said support means to said second position for reacting between said support means and said attachment for applying a force to said attachment to urge said attachment in a direction toward the surface.
