Abstract:
A mounting method is disclosed for securing in place a sheet which constitutes a liner, cover or curtain. The sheet has an elongate attachment zone which is thicker than the material of the sheet. The mounting including a clip which is formed with an elongate hollow portion having a longitudinal slit along the length thereof. The attachment zone of the sheet is in the hollow portion of the clip with the sheet emerging from the clip through the slit. A cord is connected to a lashing point. The clip has a passageway through which the cord passes thereby to attach the clip and the attachment zone to the lashing point.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of mounting a liner of sheet material which has an elongate top wall having longer edges and elongate sidewalls having elongate upper edges that are joined to the longer edges of the top wall, in a shipping container having lashing points, the method comprising the steps of:\n providing the liner with attachment zones which are thicker than the sheet material of the liner and which extend along the liner where the longer edges of the top wall join the upper edges of the sidewalls; attaching first and second sets of clips to the liner where the longer edges of the top wall join the upper edges of the sidewalls, the clips having passageways therethrough and being free to slide along the attachment zones so as to be positionable under the lashing points; attaching one hook of a first set of hooks each of which has a opening therein to a lashing point; attaching one hook of a second set of hooks each of which has an opening therein to a lashing point; positioning one of the clips of the first set under that hook of the first set of hooks which is attached to the respective lashing point; positioning one of the clips of the second set under that hook of the second set of hooks which is attached to the respective lashing point; passing a first elongate cord through the passageway of the said one clip of the first set of clips and through the hook that is above said one clip, and progressively attaching the hooks of the first set to the lashing points and passing said first cord through the clips and hooks of said first sets in such manner that the clips and hooks alternate along the length of the first cord; passing a second elongate cord through the passageway of said one clip of the second set of clips and through the hook that is above said one clip of the second set of clips and progressively attaching the hook to the lashing point and passing said second cord through the clips and hooks of the second sets of clips and hooks in such manner that the clips and hooks of the second sets alternate along the length of the second cord; and pulling on the first and second cords to lift the clips and the liner towards the hooks.
