摘要 |
The invention provides a fastening plate (20) for securing a membrane (22) to a substrate (24). The membrane has an inner side (36) to be positioned adjacent to the substrate and an outer side (38) disposed opposite to the inner side, and the membrane also has a dimpled portion (30) including an array of dimples (32) and a substantially smooth top portion. The dimples form depressions on the outer side and corresponding projections from the inner side. The fastening plate has a mating portion (26) including a contact side (40) to be positioned adjacent to the outer side of the membrane, a biasing portion (28) extending from the mating portion. The mating portion includes an array of locator elements (44) projecting inwardly from the contact side for cooperating with a corresponding number of the dimples to position the mating portion on the dimpled portion. The mating portion is adapted to receive at least one fastener (48).
