The retaining mechanism for releasable attachment of a flexible portion, for example. a flying blanket to a fixed part, for example. a portion of a vehicle

摘要

A device for releasable attachment of a flexible cover to a flap or similar, preferably on a truck, trailer or similar. In order to eliminate problems of complexity, expense and functioning associated with earlier designs the device, in addition to a slightly modified flap section (1), consists of only two sections, preferably made of aluminum; a link section (2) and a locking section (3), the former pivoted at its lower end to the flap and the latter pivoted at its lower end to the former, by which arrangement the locking section can fasten the cover (4) against the flap section. Owing to the inherent resilience of the sections the pivot between the link section and the locking section may be snapped over a neutral line to bring about a secure locking of the device.
