Claims14
A suspension rail in combination with an object of a flexible sheet material, the object having an edge formed by a reversed V-shaped fold comprising a free leg, the suspension rail comprising
- (a) two longitudinally extending side walls having lower edges spaced apart sufficiently to permit insertion of the reversed V-shaped fold from below into a first longitudinally extending recess between the side walls to receive the edge of the object without being clamped,
- (1) the free leg of the fold having a length of about 2 to 10 mm,
- (b) at least one of the lower edges of the side walls having a flange extending inwardly into the recess, whereby the free leg of the reversed V-shaped fold inserted into the recess from below is snapped into engagement with the flange for holding the object in the recess of the rail;
- and
- a recess bottom extending transversely between the two side walls, the recess bottom having stops at respective ends of the suspension rail for retaining the reversed V-shaped edge of the object in position.
