The present invention relates to construction assemblies or modules. There are attachment members that are connected by pressing an elastic protrusion head through an aperture and threading the protrusion head from one side of the aperture to the other. As the area of the aperture is smaller than area of front projection plane of the protrusion head, threading the protrusion head into the aperture requires the deformation of the protrusion head. After traversing the aperture, the protrusion head returns to its non-deformated shape, and the protrusion neck is settled within the aperture.

1. A set of attachment members comprising: a first attachment member having a sandwich structure comprising two bendable but incompressible outer layers bonded to and sandwiching a compressible layer, wherein said first attachment member comprises a protrusion having a neck portion connecting to a head portion, said neck portion having a first width and said head portion having a second width greater than said first width, said protrusion having a thickness; and a second attachment member having an aperture, said aperture having a length sufficient to accommodate said second width, said aperture having a breadth measured perpendicular to said length, said breadth having a first value in a central region of said aperture and decreasing along said length in both directions from said central region to a breadth that is less than said thickness of said protrusion so as to allow passage of said head portion through said aperture only when said outer layers are bent towards each other so as to compress said inner layer at lateral edges of said head portion, such that said lateral edges are more compressed than a central area of said head portion during passage through said aperture and expand after said head portion has passed through said aperture so as to resist withdrawal of said projection. 2. The set of attachment members of claim 1, wherein said aperture is shaped and sized such that, after passage of said head portion through said aperture, rotation of said first attachment member about an axis passing along said projection aligns said width of said head portion non-parallel with said length of said aperture so as to lock attachment of said first attachment member to said second attachment member. 3. The set of attachment members of claim 2, wherein edges of said aperture in said central region are formed with opposing angular recesses such that, when said first attachment member is rotated about said axis, edges of said neck portion become engaged within said opposing angular recesses so as to oppose an unlocking rotation of said first attachment member. 4. The set of attachment members of claim 1, wherein an area of a front projection of said head portion of said protrusion is between 1.1 and 1.5 times larger than an open area of said aperture. 5. The set of attachment members of claim 1, wherein said aperture is an elliptical aperture.
