Abstract

See full text

A securing system includes a primary structure and a first strip of hook and loop fasteners adapted to be secured thereon. A secondary structure includes a plurality of apertures disposed therein. The plurality of apertures fit over the first strip of hook and loop fasteners when the secondary structure is placed onto the primary structure. A second strip of hook and loop fasteners is adapted for fitting over the plurality of apertures of the secondary structure and for contacting portions of the first strip of hook and loop fasteners through the plurality of apertures. The contacting of the first and second strips of hook and loop fasteners secures the primary structure to the secondary structure. The second strip of hook and loop fasteners is flexible, and is removable from the plurality of apertures with only a relatively small removal force, compared to the removal force required to remove a second rigid strip of hook and loop fasteners from the first strip of hook and loop fasteners on the primary structure.
