Abstract

The “Quick Pull” is small, made of any pliable material that has total memory and is incredibly easy to use. The “Quick Pull” is not only incredibly easy to use, it is unbelievably inexpensive to make, literally a couple of pennies off of a dollar is all it takes.

The “Quick Pull” is incredibly inexpensive to manufacture and could be a great enhancement to a company's product. The “Quick Pull” can be made of rubber, foam-rubber, foam, sponge, or a combination of these or any soft pliable material with total memory.
