Abstract
An article of flat pattern form providing a loop disengageably attached to a margin of flexible sheet material by manipulating a male member at one end of a strap and through a smaller opening of a female member at the other end of the strap, with a section of the flexible sheet material over the male member, by bending and twisting for passage of the male member through the female member, enabled by an adjoining access opening, followed by untwisting and with the male member overlying a peripheral portion of the female member and the flexible sheet material secured by bites over the inner edge of the female opening and over the periphery of the male member.
Claims8
A loop for disengageable attachment to a marginal portion of flexible sheeting material, and including;
- a flat body of bendable and twistable material having an elongated strap portion with a male member at one end and a female member at the other end,
- the female member having a first opening therethrough smaller than the male member, and
- there being a second access opening through the female member and adjoiningly open to the first opening through the female member by means of a passage with parallel longitudinally extending sidewall and narrower than either the first opening or the second access opening through the female member and with clearance for acting as a means for receiving and guiding a twisted position of the male member and sheeting material,
- whereby the flexible sheeting material overlying the male member can be twisted therewith and the strap portion bent upwardly and backwardly to position the female member over the underlying male member, the male member and sheeting material being passed upwardly through the first opening and the second access opening in the female member and thereafter untwisted to overlie a peripheral portion of the female member with the sheeting material secured by a bite therebetween.
