Abstract
An attachment device for releasably connecting a flexible skirt component to rigid body structure of an air cushion vehicle has a plurality of first elements attached at spaced positions on the rigid body structure. A plurality of second elements are attached at spaced positions along an edge portion of the flexible skirt by a plurality of clamping plates which co-operate one with each second element to present a clamping face towards a clamping face on the second element. The edge portion of the flexible skirt is held between the clamping faces by a clamping action applied by releasable fasteners passing through aligned holes in the second elements, the clamping plates and the flexible skirt. The second elements are positioned in the spaces between the first elements so that respective longitudinal passages extending through the first and second elements are aligned, and a pin member is inserted into the aligned passages so as to connect the first and second elements in hinged relationship.
