Abstract:
1. A method for attaching an object to a support structure, the method comprising: thermally bonding an elastic membrane to the support structure, the elastic membrane being configured to elastically move in a direction relative to the support structure as force is exerted on the object, the elastic membrane comprising: thermally bonding the first surface area of the lower surface to a top surface of the support structure; thermally bonding a mounting plate to the upper surface solely above the second surface area of the lower surface; and attaching the object to the mounting plate; wherein the second surface area remains separable from the first polymeric membrane such that the second surface area elastically extends in a direction away from the first polymeric membrane as a force is exerted against the object and lies relatively flat against the support structure when no force is exerted against the object.
