Abstract
A touch fastener component for flush-mounting a structure to a support comprising a resilient member having one portion of a touch fastener material attached to a surface thereof adjacent a center portion thereof, a restraining device defining the length of a chord of the curvature of the member to form a curved resilient spring able to move from a first of two stable positions to a second of the two stable positions, and an adjusting device for adjusting the chord length of the member. The elements of one portion of the touch fastener, when engaged with the elements of the other touch fastener, resiliently fasten the structure and the support together by a force provided by the engagement of the elements of the touch fasteners and the resilience of the resilient member.
