Abstract
In a method for connecting two objects, comprising applying to at least one of said objects a volume of an adhesive of the type which, when cured, is flexible and thereafter a step of bringing the other of said objects in contact with said volume of adhesive, there is the additional step of, before applying said volume of adhesive, providing a stiffening device extending from and attached to the object to which said volume is to be applied and with a height which is less than the height of the completed volume of adhesive, after which additional step the volume of adhesive is applied around said stiffening device.

A method for connecting two objects, comprising:
- providing a first object and a second object, wherein the first object includes a stiffening device attached to or formed integral therewith as a single unitary body so as to extend away from a surface of the first object;
- applying to the first object and around the stiffening device a volume of an adhesive of a type which, when cured, is flexible;
- thereafter bringing the second object in contact with said volume of adhesive;
- and
- thereafter allowing the volume of adhesive to cure, wherein a height of the stiffening device extending from the surface of the first object is less than a height of the cured volume of adhesive from the surface of the first object.
A method for connecting two objects, comprising:
- providing a first object and a second object, wherein the first object includes a stiffening device attached to or formed integral therewith as a single unitary body so as to extend away from a surface of the first object;
- applying to one of the objects so as to be disposed around the stiffening device a volume of an adhesive of a type which, when cured, is flexible;
- and thereafter
- bringing the objects together and thereafter allowing the volume of adhesive to cure wherein a portion of the cured volume of adhesive is disposed between a remote end of the stiffening device and a surface of the second object to separate the remote end of the stiffening device from the surface of the second object, and wherein the volume of adhesive adheres to the first object, the second object, and the stiffening device.
