Material Sheet Frictional Securing Assembly - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240018829 titled 'Material Sheet Frictional Securing Assembly
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an assembly that allows for the frictional securing of a sheet of material to a surface or to cover an opening defined by any type of frame. The assembly includes a base piece that can be secured to a frame or surface, and a clamp arm that is connected to the base piece via a clamp ball and clamp joint. The clamp arm has radial motion, allowing it to rotate to an open position for insertion of a material sheet between the two parts, and then rotate to a secured position by applying radial force against a lock ridge on the clamp arm. Excess length of the material sheet is forced into a material cavity, giving the edges of the sheet a straight and clean look, and pulling the sheet taut. The clamp arm can be dislodged by applying radial force in the opposite direction of the lock ridge, allowing for removal or easy uninstallation/re-installation of the material sheet.
- Assembly facilitates frictional securing of a material sheet to a surface or frame
- Includes a base piece and a separate clamp arm connected via a clamp ball and clamp joint
- Clamp arm has radial motion, allowing it to rotate to an open position for insertion of a material sheet
- Clamp arm can be rotated to a secured position by applying radial force against a lock ridge
- Excess length of the material sheet is forced into a material cavity, giving the edges a clean look and pulling the sheet taut
- Clamp arm can be dislodged by applying radial force in the opposite direction, allowing for removal or easy uninstallation/re-installation of the material sheet
Potential Applications
- Securing sheets of material to surfaces or frames in various industries such as construction, automotive, and furniture
- Covering openings or gaps in structures or equipment
Problems Solved
- Provides a secure and frictional method of attaching a material sheet without the need for cutting or trimming to exact size
- Hides excess length of the material sheet, giving it a clean and straight look
- Allows for easy removal or re-installation of the material sheet if desired or if it becomes dislodged
Benefits
- Simplifies the process of securing material sheets, saving time and effort
- Provides a secure and tight fit without the need for additional fasteners or adhesives
- Allows for easy adjustment or replacement of material sheets as needed
Original Abstract Submitted
an assembly facilitating the ability to frictionally secure a sheet of material to a surface or to cover an opening defined by any type of frame, comprising a base piece () which can be secured to any desired frame or surface and a clamp arm () that are two separate parts, but connected to each other via a clamp ball () and clamp joint () allowing the clamp arm () radial motion so that it may rotate to an up (open) position allowing insertion of a material sheet () between the two parts then rotate to a down (secured) position by using any standard flat-headed tool to apply a radial force against the lock ridge () on the clamp arm (), frictionally securing the material sheet () in between the base piece () and the clamp arm (). excess length of the material sheet () is forced into the material cavity () and hidden, avoiding the need for the material sheet () to be cut or trimmed to the exact smallest size required to cover the desired area, giving the edges of the material sheet () a straight and clean look, and pulling the material sheet () taut. by using any standard flat-headed tool to apply a radial force in the opposite direction of the lock ridge (), the clamp arm () is dislodged allowing removal of the material sheet (), also allowing for easy uninstallation or re-installation of the material sheet () if desired or should it become dislodged from the exertion of excessive external force.
