Abstract:
An interface system comprising:a base member adapted to be secured to a supporting surface; and a flexible member having opposite ends secured to said base member and an intermediate portion between said ends extending from said base member in a flexible loop to attach and support a tensile load, said flexible loop bending to align with said tensile load and reduce generation of bending and torsional moments, said base member having an inner surface adjacent said supporting surface and an outer surface having said flexible loop extending therethrough, said base member having a cavity extending to an opening, said cavity extending from said inner surface and containing an adhesive to secure said opposite ends of said flexible member therein, and said opening being disposed in said outer surface to pass said flexible loop therethrough, said base member being disc-shaped, and said inner surface being flat to lie adjacent said supporting surface, and said adhesive, said cavity, and said opening being in the center of said disc-shaped base member to extend the load bearing flexible member from the center of said base member.
