Abstract: The invention provides a device for use in association with fabric structures. The device comprises a member for sealing engagement with the fabric structure. The member has an inner rigid portion and an outer flexible portion, contiguous to said inner rigid portion. The flange may be affixed to the fabric of the structure, so as not to shift relative to the fabric, by bonding the outer flexible portion of the flange to the fabric of the structure. Mountable to the inner rigid portion is means for supporting a suspended object. The means for supporting a suspended object is adapted to be sealed, that is, it may be made water-tight.
