More specifically, in order to join the first portion 106, 306 and the second portion 110, 310 together, the ring of the first portion 106, 306 can elastically close the inlay 202, 402 of the anchor 201, 401, thereby hollowing the ring Portions 107, 307 are occupied by the bodies of anchors 201, 401. With the flanges 113, 213, the surface of the ring is supported on the flanges 113, 213.

The end portions of the protrusions 108, 308 in the first embodiment and the second embodiment may be circular, or the end portions of the protrusions 108, 308 may also form relatively sharp cusps. The projections may be joined to the inside of the passage or passage through the first opening 115, 315 or opening. In one or more embodiments, there are no second openings 105, 305 or openings, and the protrusions 108, 308 can be completely hidden. Where the embodiment has an optional second opening 105, 305 or opening, the projections 108, 308 can be seen through the second opening 105, 305. Alternatively, when the projections 108, 308 are fully seated within the passage or passage, the projections 108, 308 do not extend from the plane defining the second opening 105, 305. In one or more embodiments, the correct placement of the protrusions 108, 308 may refer to the base of the protrusions 108, 308 being adjacent to the first apertures 115, 315. Alternatively, when the projections 108, 308 are fully seated within the passage or passage, the projections 108, 308 can extend from the plane defining the second opening 105, 305. The protrusion 308 in the second embodiment has a bending angle that fits the tilt axis of the first opening 315, so that the protrusion 308 is more easily inserted into the first opening 315.
