  • filtering can also be minimized by letting the spiral close into itself/join itself.
  • the length of the body should be specific, selected for the particular use. The thicker the insulating units are, the longer the body should be.

The length of the body is defined as the perpendicular distance between the first horizontal plane and a second horizontal plane parallel to the first horizontal plane and containing a tangent to the point of the body farthest from the first horizontal plane.
  • the second section is the first section in an angle between 45 and 135 degrees, preferably between 85 and 95 degrees, and more preferably around 90 degrees relative to the first section.
  • the second section of the body is connected to a protrusion from the first section of the body to provide an angle as described above between the first and the second section.

Due to providing a fastener which is both cheap and easy to produce it is, however, preferred that the fastener is shaped as a bent nail.

  • Preferred materials for both head and body include any metals, preferably steel and brass, and further the preferred materials include polymers, preferably polymers with a relatively high flexural rigidity, e.g. polystyrene, polycarbonate, polypropylene and polyamide.
  • the second section of the body may e.g. be coated with an expandable composition i.e. a composition which expands when subjected to heat, moisture, microwave or similar.
  • the expandable composition could preferably be glue or paint which expands under influence of heat.

  • the units of insulating material may be compressed during the fastening of the fasteners.
  • Another or additional way to obtain a highly tight fastening is to further add glue between the surfaces to be connected. The amount of glue can be much lower than when using glue alone.
