Abstract:
The system includes a flexible button top which has a sleeve appurtenance which is force-fitted over an externally helically grooved stud assembly having an integral self-adhesive back mounting plate. The button top is flexible enough so that it can be applied to, and removed from the stud assembly without the use of a tool, yet it is hard enough so that the stud will not perforate the flexible button top when impacted. The adhesive-backed stud assembly includes a helically threaded metallic screw perpendicularly attached to a metallic circular disc with a plastic foam backing impregnated with adhesive. The adhesive backing is covered by a release film prior to use. The adhesive-backed stud assembly can be applied without the use of a tool.
