Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0674866A1] The ring (100) is presented on-edge in a shallow funnel-shaped recess (12) in the display board (10). The thread (40) is in the form of a continuous loop passing through the ring and a hole (14) in the base of the recess and a bore (32) through a wt. (30). The ends of the thread are knotted together and bonded adhesively to the wt., which is too large to be drawn up through the hole by a pull on the ring. <IMAGE>
