Method of mounting fastener components and construction thereof
Abstract
Abstract MATERIAL LAYER PORTIONS OF A STRETCHABLE PLASTIC MATERIAL ARE FORMED WITH FASTENER HOLES THERETHROUGH. PLASTIC FASTENERS OR FASTENER COMPONENETS ARE FORMED WITH ENLARGED HEADS AND REDUCED SHANKS WITH A RECESS PERIPHERALLY ABOUT EACH FASTENER SHANK ADJACENT THE FASTENER HEAD. THE FASTENER SHANKS AND THE RECESSES THEREOF ARE PROPORTIONED RELATIVE TO THE MATERIAL LAYER STRETCHABILITY AND THE RESPECTIVE FASTENER HOLES SUCH THAT THE FASTENER SHANKS MAY BE INSERTED THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE HOLES WITH THE STRETCHABLE MATERIAL STRETCHING AND PERMITTING SUCH PASSAGE. WHEN THE MATERIAL LAYER PORTIONS ARE POSITIONED ALIGNED WITH THE FASTENER SHANK RECESSES, THE MATERIAL LAYER PORTIONS ARE RECEIVED IN THE RECESSES WITH THE FASTENER HOLES RETURNING SUBSTANTIALLY TO ORIGINAL SIZE SO THAT THE MATERIAL LAYER PORTIONS ENGAGE THE FASTENER SHANKS AND RETAIN THE FASTENER IN ASSEMBLY THEREWITH. THE MATERIAL LAYER PORTIONS MAY BE PARTS OF STRAP-LIKE PORTIONS OF AN IDENTIFICATION-TYPE MEMBER WITH THE FASTENER SHANKS ALIGNABLE AND CONNECTIBLE TOGETHER TO RETAIN THE MATERIAL LAYER PORTIONS ADJACENT EACH OTHER.
