(54) STRIP ATTACHMENT MEANS
(71) We, PERRY BROS. (HALL
GREEN) LIMITED, of Cole Valley
Works, Sarehole Road, Hall Green, Birmingham B28 8EG, a British Company, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:
This invention relates to the attachment of strips of material to elongate components, for example attachment of a plastics trim strip to an aluminium frame.
It is known to form the strip with an elongate projection having lateral ears and to form the component with a channel whose mouth is bounded by flanges extending from opposite sides of the channel, the arrangement being such that the strip can be attached to the component by pressing the projection into the channel via its mouth, the ears being deformed inwardly as they pass between the flanges ahd flexing out wardlv to their normal undeformed configuration once past the flanges whereby the strip is held attached to the component between the ears and the flanges.
This known arrangement suffers from the drawback that the strip can be pulled away from the channel relatively easily and also there tends to be some play between the channel and the ears which allows the strip to move relative to the component to some extent.
The object of the present invention is to provide an improved construction which overcomes these drawbacks.
According to the present invention there is provided a component having an inherently rigid channel therein. and a strip of flexible material having a projection which extends from one face thereof and terminates in laterally directed resilientlv displaceable ears whose lateral extremities are spaced apart. when the ears are undeformed, to a greater extent than the internal width of the channel, the arrangement being such that said projection can be pressed into the rigid channel with consequent deformation of the ears until the ears pass beyond retaining formations provided in the chnnel which then cooperate with the deformed ears to resist withdrawal of the projection.
Thus, when the strip is assembled to the component, the ears will be in a state of deformation in contrast with known aluminum frame and trim strip arrangements where the channel is of such a width that the ears can restore to their normal unstressed configuration. Because the ears are so deformed, they serve to hold the strip tightly to the component so that there is little, if any. relative movement therebetween and, moreover. a greater resistance to withdrawal is produced because withdrawal tends to open the ears outwardly but this is resisted by the restricted width of the channel.
An embodiment of the invention is shown, purely by way of example, in the accompanying drawing to which reference is now made. In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a transverse section view through the strip of the invention; and
Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view showing the strip assembled to the channel.
As shown. the plastics strip comprises an extruded strip 10 of. for example, pvc.
rubber or neoprene formed with a projection 12 which is provided with ears 14 which project laterally and towards the main bodv of the strip. The strip is intended to be assembled to a channel-shaped aluminium frame 16. The internal width of the channel is less than the dimension A of the strip so that when the strip is assembled to the channel by pushing the projection and ears into the channel. the ears are deformed inwardlv in the fashion shown. The mouth of the channel is bordered bv ribs 18 with which the tips of the ears engage to resist withdrawal from the channel. It will be seen that any attempt to withdraw the strip from the channel will cause the ears to deform in such a way as to offer even greater resistance to withdrawal.
WHAT WE CLAIM IS:
1. A component having an inherently rigid channel therein. and a strip of flexible material having a projection which extends from one face thereof and terminates in laterally directed resiliently displaceable ears whose lateral extremities are spaced apart, when the ears are undeformed, to a greater extent than the internal width of the channel, the arrangement being such that said projection can be pressed into the rigid channel with consequent deformation of the ears until the ears pass beyond retaining formations provided in the channel which than cooperate with the deformed ears to resist withdrawal of the projection.
2. The combination claimed in Claim 1 in which said formations are provided at the entrance to the mouth of the channel and project inwardly from opposite sides of the channel.
3. The combination of Claim 1 or 2 wherein the projection is coextensive with the strip and the ears extend laterally from each side of the projection in a direction towards the main body of the strip.
4. The combination claimed in Claim 1.
substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to. and as shown in, the accompanying drawings.

Claims (4)
1. A component having an inherently rigid channel therein. and a strip of flexible material having a projection which extends from one face thereof and terminates in laterally directed resiliently displaceable ears whose lateral extremities are spaced apart, when the ears are undeformed, to a greater extent than the internal width of the channel, the arrangement being such that said projection can be pressed into the rigid channel with consequent deformation of the ears until the ears pass beyond retaining formations provided in the channel which than cooperate with the deformed ears to resist withdrawal of the projection.
2. The combination claimed in Claim 1 in which said formations are provided at the entrance to the mouth of the channel and project inwardly from opposite sides of the channel.
3. The combination of Claim 1 or 2 wherein the projection is coextensive with the strip and the ears extend laterally from each side of the projection in a direction towards the main body of the strip.
4. The combination claimed in Claim 1.
substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to. and as shown in, the accompanying drawings.
