  • the serpentine route when the portion of the material 4OA between the apertures 33A, 33B, 133A, 133B, 233A, 233B is pulled taut, will provide tension in the material 40 sufficient to hold the anchor member 10, 110, 210 generally in place while in use.
  • the frames 31A, 31 B, 131A, 131 B, 231 could be continuous or they could be discontinuous.

  • the material 40 could be turned sideways with an edge generally perpendicular to the respective aperture 33A, 33B, 133A, 133B, 233A, 233B in order to be received therein and then turned so that the material 40 is oriented such that its width generally runs from side to side within the aperture 33A, 33B, 133A, 133B, 233A, 233B as shown in Figures 4-5.
  • the anchor member 10, 110, 210 would be placed anywhere along the length of the material 40. It will further be appreciated that even without a slot, the anchor member 10, 1 10, 210, once mounted together with the material 40, as for example by threading a free end of the material as previously described, could be moved, as by sliding, along the length of the material 40. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that such movement could be limited as desired.
  • the frames 31 A, 31 B could be angled in order to impart tension on the material 40 such that movement of the anchor member 10 along the material would be resisted and would necessitate alternating the introduction and taking out of slack in the material 40 in order to "inch” or "creep" the anchor member 10 along.
