ABSTRACT:
A coupling is provided between a sheet member with an edge of a thickness T, having at least one opening formed adjacent the edge, and a receiving member formed with a recess of a width W and spacers defining within the recess a groove of a width w, which meets the condition T<w<W. The recess comprises at least one projection protruding into the groove, and the groove is adapted to slidingly receive the edge of the sheet member with the projection snap-fitting into the opening, thereby providing a secure coupling between the sheet and receiving member.
