Abstract

A fixing (2) is provided for securing an object to a channel member (30) having a mouth restricted by inturned lips (36). The fixing has a head portion (4) having resilient arm (16), which is adapted so that in a first orientation it can be inserted through the mouth of the channel and force applied to cause the arms (16) to deflect against the channel, allowing the fixing to be rotated to second orientation in which the arms are retained in the channel by the inturned lips (36). The fixing also has a shank portion (8) joined to the head portion. The shank portion is adapted to protrude from the channel (30). The fixing is particularly suited for mounting objects such as banners on surfaces for display. Also provided are kits comprising these fixings, a system for constructing a sign display using the fixings and methods of mounting objects using the fixings.
