Abstract

A fabric juncture assembly comprising an interlock and connectors, where the fabric panels are secured to the latter. Assembly is assured by a male-female latching mode variously presented along adjacent edges of the interlock and the connectors. As a result, a secured relationship is positively achieved between the interlock and the connectors and, at the same time, a watertight relationship.

Claims

1. A fabric juncture assembly in the form of an elongated generally flat strip with oppositely facing longitudinal edges, each of said longitudinal edges presenting a cavity serving receiving and retaining purposes and including an entry slot arranged to prevent unwanted opening, and elongated edge strips each presenting a flattened portion secured to fabric and opening into a ribbed enlarge longitudinal edge selectively adapted to be received and retained within one of said cavities in a waterproof and positive juncture.

2. The fabric juncture assembly of claim 1 wherein said cavity and said enlarged longitudinal edge present angled flat surfaces of one bearing against correspondingly shaped angled flat surfaces of the other.

3. A fabric juncture assembly in the form of an elongated generally flat strip with oppositely facing enlarged longitudinal edges, and elongated edge strips each presenting a flattened portion secured to fabric and opening into an enlarged cavity and along a ribbed longitudinal edge thereof serving receiving and retaining purposes and including an entry slot arranged to prevent any unwanted opening, where each of said cavities is adapted to selectively receive and retain one of said enlarged longitudinal edges of said strip in a waterproof and positive juncture.

4. The fabric juncture of claim 3 where said cavity and said enlarged longitudinal edge present angled flat surfaces of one bearing against correspondingly shaped angled flat surfaces of the other.
