A method of covering the head of a screw (24) which has been inserted into a wood structure (14), such as a cabinet, a bookshelf, etc. There is a planar circular cover member (34, 50) made of a moderately flexible plasctic and having an adhesive surface (58). The diameter of the cover member is moderately greater than the diameter of the screw head and the opening in which the screw head is placed. The cover member (34, 50) is placed by positioning a first side portion of the cover adjacent to the opening, and then deflecting the cover member downwardly in a curved position above the srew head opening, keeping the cover properly positioned. Then the person's thumb which grasps an end of the cover member is moved to release the cover member which then snaps into position to cover the opening and become bonded to the surface (42) of the wood structure.
L'invention concerne un procédé pour couvrir la tête d'une vis (24) insérée dans une structure (14) en bois telle qu'une armoire, une étagère etc. On utilise un élément de couverture (34, 50) circulaire planaire fabriqué en plastique modérément flexible, présentant une surface (58) adhésive. Le diamètre de l'élément de couverture est légèrement supérieur au diamètre de la tête de vis et de l'ouverture dans laquelle la tête de vis est placée. Pour installer l'élément (34, 50) de couverture on positionne une première partie latérale de couverture de façon qu'elle soit adjacente à l'ouverture puis on fléchit l'élément de couverture vers la bas, de manière à le courber au dessus de l'ouverture comprenant la tête de vis tout en maintenant l'élément de couverture dans une position correcte. Ensuite on déplace le pouce qui maintient un bord de l'élément de couverture de manière à le relâcher. L'effet de détente provoque la mise en place de l'élément de couverture, de façon qu'il couvre l'ouverture et adhère à la surface (42) de la structure en bois.
