  • Publication number: 20110010900
    Abstract: A hook (2) for attaching a sheet material to a mould-formed body includes two base plates (20, 20?), a first protrusion (3) and a second protrusion (3?) protruding projectingly from the base plates (20, 20?) so that the end tips (32, 32?) of the protrusions are situated at a certain distance from each other, to engender an entry aperture (40) which leads to an anchoring seat (4) adapted to anchor an attachment element (9; 109; 209), and a bridge (21) joined to the base of the protrusions (3, 3?), so as to form a seat (23) between the edges (22, 22?) of the base plates. The seat (23) can be engaged by a tubular element (5) so as to cause the protrusions (3, 3?) to draw together to close the entry aperture (40) between the tips (32, 32?) of the protrusions.

  • Publication number: 20100044940
    Abstract: An anchoring system (1) attaches a sheet material (8) to a mould-formed body (7). The anchoring system (1) includes a plurality of anchoring elements (2) adapted to receive, in a snap coupling relationship, a fastening element (9) made integral with the sheet material (8). The anchoring elements (2) are fixed, in suitable positions, to an attachment element (5; 205). The anchoring elements (2) and/or the attachment element include ferrous material (4, 50; 104, 205) adapted to couple with a magnetic element carried by the mould. In this manner the anchoring system (1) can be correctly disposed in the mould and sunk into the foam material forming the body (7).
