Abstract
There is disclosed an assembly comprising a piece of rigid sheet material and a rigid linear member of metal, plastic, wood or other material, secured to an edge of the sheet material. The linear member and sheet are held in positive and immovable engagement and at the same time the joint is completely sealed to prevent the passage of liquids or gases therethrough. The mechanical means employed to lock the linear and sheet members together positively is so arranged that its presence is evident only on one side of the linear member. The assembly is so constructed that it can be taken apart readily without destroying either the sheet or the linear member. It is specifically disclosed in connection with a removable hatch for automobile roofs.
