Abstract
Abstract An elongated extruded strip adapted to be mechanically secured to a slotted sheet-like substrate is provided by extruding an elongated thermoplastic strip having a body portion which includes a rear face having a rearwardly projecting rail and then notching out longitudinally spaced portions of the rail to provide longitudinally spaced teeth. The strip is pressed against the sheet to force the teeth through the slots and heat is applied to the portions of the teeth which project through the slots to form a head or bead on the teeth and thereby mechanically secure the strip to the substrate. The strip is preferably formed to include at least one side support and/or at least one resilient adhesive tape may be used to allow the strip to deform when pressed against the substrate to force the teeth to project further through the slots to insure a tight securement. The teeth may have an arrowhead when the sheet-like substrate is of uniform thickness.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
61 words
An extrusion adapted to be mechanically secured to a slotted sheet-like substrate, said extrusion providing an elongated strip having a body portion including a rear face having at least one row of centrally positioned longitudinally spaced rearwardly projecting teeth, said rear face of said body portion having secured thereto at least one resilient tape positioned at one side of said teeth.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
61 words
An extrusion adapted to be mechanically secured to a slotted sheet-like substrate, said extrusion providing an elongated strip having a body portion including a rear face having at least one row of centrally positioned longitudinally spaced rearwardly projecting teeth, said rear face of said body portion having secured thereto at least one resilient tape positioned at one side of said teeth.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
100 words
An extrusion adapted to be mechanically secured to a slotted sheet-like substrate, said extrusion providing an elongated strip having a body portion including a rear face having at least one row of longitudinally spaced rearwardly projecting teeth, the rear face of said body portion being formed to include at least one side support so that said teeth extend rearwardly from a recess in the body of the extrusion, and said rear face of said body portion having secured thereto at least one resilient tape positioned at the side of said teeth opposite to the side occupied by said side support.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
100 words
An extrusion adapted to be mechanically secured to a slotted sheet-like substrate, said extrusion providing an elongated strip having a body portion including a rear face having at least one row of longitudinally spaced rearwardly projecting teeth, the rear face of said body portion being formed to include at least one side support so that said teeth extend rearwardly from a recess in the body of the extrusion, and said rear face of said body portion having secured thereto at least one resilient tape positioned at the side of said teeth opposite to the side occupied by said side support.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
77 words
An extrusion adapted to be mechanically secured to a slotted sheet-like substrate, said extrusion being thermoplastic and having a body portion including a rear face which is formed to include at least one side support and a centrally positioned recess from which extends a rearwardly projecting rail which is notched out to form longitudinally spaced rearwardly projecting teeth, said rear face having secured thereto at least one resilient adhesive tape positioned at one side of said teeth.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
77 words
An extrusion adapted to be mechanically secured to a slotted sheet-like substrate, said extrusion being thermoplastic and having a body portion including a rear face which is formed to include at least one side support and a centrally positioned recess from which extends a rearwardly projecting rail which is notched out to form longitudinally spaced rearwardly projecting teeth, said rear face having secured thereto at least one resilient adhesive tape positioned at one side of said teeth.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
72 words
An extrusion adapted to be mechanically secured to a slotted sheet of uniform thickness, said extrusion having a plastic body portion including a rear face which is formed to include a centrally positioned rearwardly projecting rail which is notched out to form longitudinally spaced rearwardly projecting teeth having an arrow-shaped head, said rear face having secured thereto resilient adhesive tapes, one of said tapes being positioned on each side of said teeth.
