用于将弹性材料的边缘部分固定到表面的紧固件

Original abstractA fastener for fixing an edge portion of a resilient material to a surface comprising a base element fixed in use to a surface, and a removable clip element, in which the clip element is provided with a first part of engagement means, and the base element is provided with a second part of engagement means, in which in use a resilient material is disposed adjacent the base element such that when the first part and the second part of the engagement means are aligned for engagement in use a portion of the clip element extends over an edge portion of the resilient material, in which in use said portion of the clip element is applied to said edge portion of the resilient material with a compression force, in which said compression force is required in order to engage said engagement means, and in which once the engagement means is engaged the compression force is removed and an extension force applied by the resilient material to said portion of the clip element forces said engagement means into engagement, in which the engagement means can only be disengaged when said compression force is applied to said portion of said clip element, and in which in use the clip element extends from the surface, over the base element, and onto the resilient material.
