Abstract
Abstract Straps (6,8) having a rigid buckle (10,12) are removably attached to a unitary flexible mounting lug (14) comprising a substrate (18), a web (16) extending vertically from the substrate (18), an elongate flange (20) extending from one side of the web (16) and a lip (22) extending from the opposite side of the web (16), whereby the lug (14) can be deformed to receive the buckle (10,12) and secure it between the substrate (18) and the flange (20) and lip (22). <IMAGE>

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
86 words
A unitary flexible mounting lug for receiving a slotted connector comprising a substrate, a web extending vertically from said substrate, an elongate flange extending from one side of said web substantially horizontal to and spaced from said substrate, and an opposing lip extending from the opposite side of said web, the flange and web being sized to fit through the slot in the slotted connector whereby the slotted connector slides over the flange and web to be secured between the substrate and the flange and lip.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
20 words
A mounting lug of claim 1 in which the flange is thicker at the web than at its free edge.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A mounting lug of claim 1 in which the top of the web is curved on a radius equal to the thickness of the web.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
91 words
A connector comprising a unitary, flexible mounting lug and a rigid slotted buckle, said mounting lug comprising a substrate, a web extending vertically from said substrate, an elongate flange extending from one side of said web substantially horizontal to and spaced from said substrate, and an opposing lip extending from the opposite side of said web, said buckle comprising a plate having a slot that passes said flange, lip and web on elastic deformation of the mounting lug, whereby the buckle is secured between the substrate and the flange and lip.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
A connector of claim 4 in which the flange is thicker at the web than at its free edge.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A connector of claim 7 in which thickness of the buckle at a point along the flange and spaced from the web is greater than the distance between the substrate and the flange.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
A connector of claim 4 in which the flange and lip are spaced the same distance from the substrate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
A connector of claim 5 in which the flange and lip are spaced the same distance from the substrate.
