Abstract
This device is noteworthy in that it comprises a band ( ) made of a plastics material attached to the outer border or borders of the fabric ( ), said band having at least one shaped molded tab ( ) integral with the band, said tab having the shape of a supporting cradle so as to be inserted against the opposing wall of the side member of the supporting structure, and in the intervals formed between said side member and a strip attached to said side member, and in that the area of the join between the band and the tab constitutes an area of resistance capable of taking the pressure of an undulating part of the strip, thereby enabling the tab to be locked in position relative to the opposing side member.
