Abstract
A method is provided for positioning an object (133) relative to a structural member (103). The method includes providing a first and second member (103, 113), a positioning member (123) with a first end (126) and a second end (124), and the object (133). The first end (126) is positioned proximal to the object (133), and a first energy director (107) is positioned between, and is in contact with, the first end (126) and the first member (103). A second energy director (125), having a slower characteristic melting rate than that of the first energy director (107), is positioned between, and is in contact with, the second end (124) and the second member (123). Energy is first imparted to cause at least one of the first and second energy directors (107, 125) to begin melting. Imparting the energy is discontinued after the first energy director (107) is substantially melted and the object (133) is properly positioned, while the second energy director (125) is not substantially melted.
