Abstract:
An adhesive attachment assembly, comprising:a first attachment component defining a base surface; a heat activated member including a curable bonding agent mounted on said base surface, said bonding agent being for bonded attachment of said first attachment component to a substrate; a second attachment component carried by said first attachment component for movement between first and second positions respectively retracted from and advanced toward the substrate, when said first attachment component is seated against the substrate; an attachment member for at least temporarily securing said second attachment component to the substrate, when said heat activated member mounted on said base surface of said first attachment component is seated against the substrate with said second attachment component in said second position; a spring member reacting between said first and second attachment components for urging said base surface of said first attachment component with a positive force against the substrate when said second attachment component is in said second position; and a heat source for delivering heat energy to said heat activated member for rapidly curing said bonding agent.
