Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
193 words
In a device for the detachable mounting of flexible sheets, comprising a plurality of molded members of synthetic resin, connectible in pairs with each other, clamping the sheet between them, wherein one molded member is adapted to be attached as the base part to a substrate and the other molded member can be detachably mounted on the base part, and wherein a spike for passing through the sheet extends from a base plate of the base part; the improvement in which the spike has a cylindrical spike body and an annular flange carrying a conical spike tip, and the other molded member is a slip-on member comprising a two-legged clamping fork, the fork legs of which are secured together at one end and spaced apart at the other end and have a least spacing from each other which is somewhat less than the outer diameter of the spike body, the inner lateral surfaces of said fork legs having at least one recess wherein the spike body locks into place when the legs of the clamping fork are slid lengthwise between said flange and said base plate with said legs straddling said spike body.
