Abstract:
A connector for a flexible substrate includes a first connector piece including a first plurality of through holes, a second connector piece including a second plurality of through holes, the second connector piece disposable in opposition to the first connector piece to align the first plurality of through holes and the second plurality of through holes to define, via the first plurality of through holes and the second plurality of through holes, a grommet, a plurality of first fastener receivers and a plurality of second fastener receivers and a channel, defined at least in part by the first connector piece, extending across the first connector piece. The plurality of first fastener receivers are disposed on a first side of the channel and the plurality of second fastener receivers are disposed on a second side of the channel, the first side of the channel corresponds to a position at which a flexible substrate is disposable between the first connector piece and the second connector piece, and the second side of the channel corresponds to a position at which a flexible substrate is not disposed between the first connector piece and the second connector piece.

Claim (Index 20):
A method of forming a connector for a flexible substrate, comprising:\n disposing a first connector piece defining, at least in part, a channel extending across the first connector piece, a first plurality of through holes on a first side of the channel, and a second plurality of through holes on a second side of the channel, on a first side of a flexible substrate at a first peripheral portion of the flexible substrate; aligning a second connector piece defining a third plurality of through holes and a fourth plurality of through holes on a second side of the flexible substrate at the first peripheral portion in opposition to the first connector piece so that the third plurality of through holes are aligned with the first plurality of through holes and the fourth plurality of through holes are aligned with the second plurality of through holes; disposing the flexible substrate between the first connector piece and the second connector piece so that a reinforced periphery of the flexible substrate within the channel, the flexible substrate is disposed between the fourth plurality of through holes and the second plurality of through holes, and the flexible substrate is not disposed between the third plurality of through holes and the first plurality of through holes; securing a fastener receiver through at least one of the aligned third plurality of through holes and the first plurality of through holes to secure together the first connector piece and the second connector piece; and securing a fastener receiver through each of the aligned fourth plurality of through holes and the second plurality of through holes, and through the flexible substrate disposed therebetween, to secure together the first connector piece, the second connector piece and the flexible substrate.
