Abstract

To make a skirt part of a surface-effect vehicle readily and reliably retainable to the vehicle while able to be folded to be sent to the position of use, the skirt part has an enlarged bead to be slid into a restricted-mouth channel on the vehicle, the core of the bead being an elongate spiral spring of stainless steel. End-plugs are fitted to prevent endwards escape from the channel.
