Attachment device and method

Abstract

An attachment combination includes an article, which may include a frame, for attachment having a body and a fabric-covered portion of at least one of a vehicle interior and a wall of a dwelling. A micro-hook material is configured for securing to fabric materials, which may be a low-pile fabric material, and is secured to the body for releasably coupling the article to the fabric of the fabric-covered portion.

1 . An attachment combination comprising: 
 an article for attachment having a body;    a fabric-covered portion of at least one of a vehicle interior and a wall of a dwelling; and    a micro-hook material configured for securing to low-pile fabric materials, the micro-hook material secured to the body for releasably coupling the article to the fabric of the fabric-covered portion.    
   
   
       2 . The combination of  claim 1 , wherein: 
 the article is selected from a group consisting of a display, a frame, a sunshade, a pocket, a holder, a box or a container.    
   
   
       3 . The combination of  claim 1 , wherein: 
 the article is a frame that includes a transparent panel for overlaying an object of the frame.    
   
   
       4 . The combination of  claim 1 , wherein: 
 the article is a frame having decorative objects provided thereon.    
   
   
       5 . The combination of  claim 1 , wherein: 
 the article is a frame formed from a resilient foam material.    
   
   
       6 . A display device comprising: 
 a frame having a frame body having a first and second side, the frame body having a opening for displaying an object of the frame; and    a micro-hook material secured one of the first and second sides of the frame body for releasably coupling the frame to fabric-covered surfaces.    
   
   
       7 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein: 
 the frame includes a transparent panel for overlaying an object of the frame.    
   
   
       8 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein: 
 the frame has decorative objects provided on the other of the first and second sides.    
   
   
       9 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein: 
 the frame is formed from a resilient foam material.    
   
   
       10 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein: 
 there are at least two openings for displaying at least two objects of the frame.    
   
   
       11 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein: 
 the object is selected from a group consisting of a photo, a picture, a mirror, a diploma or certificate of achievement, a map, a calendar and a printed text.    
   
   
       12 . A method of displaying an article, the method comprising: 
 providing a micro-hook material on a portion of the article; and    applying the article to the surface of a fabric-covered portion of at least one of a wall of a dwelling and an interior of a vehicle so that the micro-hook material releasably engages the fabric material to form a releasable hook-and-loop connection with the fabric of the fabric-covered portion.    
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein: 
 the object is selected from a group consisting of a photo, a picture, a mirror, a diploma or certificate of achievement, a map, a calendar and a printed text.    
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein: 
 the fabric-covered portions are selected from a group consisting of a wall of a cubical or carrel, a room partition, a headliner and a sun-visor of a vehicle.    
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein: 
 the article is a frame that includes a transparent panel for overlaying an object of the frame.    
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein: 
 the article is a frame having decorative objects provided thereon.    
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein: 
 the article is a frame formed from a resilient foam material.    
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein: 
 the fabric-covered portion is formed from a low-pile fabric material.
