  • This invention relates to fastening of moveable items in boats, cars, motor caravan, house, cabins, garages and other places where lose items needs to be fastened.
  • UK patent GB 2306568 A shows a fastening solution in the trunk of a car where a flat Velcro band is drawn over the object to be fastened and then pressed down into a surface where the band is locked.
  • This solution requires that the fastening surface is of a type that the Velcro gets a god grip onto.
  • Only a few cars today have a carpet/base which is fastened to the floor. This could result the whole carpet to move.
  • the quality and type of carpet varies from car to car and the result is that the Velcro has to be specialized for every car.
  • the alternative is to change the carpets in the car. Because of wear and tear the carpet will also lose its "sticking" ability over time.
  • the patent is also including a storing/rolling device which because of the thickness and width of the Velcro will require a lot of space and require that the band is kept free of dirt.
  • US patent 6,029,830 shows a fastening for sports equipment which is hanging on a wire fence.
  • the solution consists of an adjustable, non elastic, belt with permanent hooks in each end to be fastened to the fence. Along the belt there are hanging hooks/knobs for fastening of diverse sporting equipment. This is a solution that is only designed to be fastened on a wire fence.
  • the belt is inelastic as it is important that the belt does not give when loaded.
  • the form of the hook (fastening to the fence) gives none (little) flexibility where it could be used.
  • UK patent GB 2323581 A shows how a safety belt mounted in the trunk could be used to fasten the luggage.
  • the luggage is placed on the wanted place and then the belt is put around the luggage for thereafter being fastened in a fixed point.
  • the solution consists of a non elastic fastening mainly designed for heavy luggage. Since the belt is not elastic it needs to be tighten hard so the luggage can not move with the result that the belt could fall off. Since the design could be used to secure heavy objects, the fixing points must be capable of handling large loads. The solution also requires a lot of space when it is not in use.
  • This invention main goal is to have a flexible solution for fastening different type of movable items, and in addition use minimum of space. This is solved by using an elastic element fastened either between one or several fixing points. This makes the objects which are to be locked/fastened/held standing, become locked by the elastic element. It could also be used to hang up nets, small bags and similar objects.

  • the fastening could also be mounted as in Fig 2, where the elastic element is fastened on the same fixing point.
  • the use for this solution could be when hanging a bag on the wall or keeping a plastic bag with groceries or empty cans/bottles standing in a car.

  • Fig 2 shows an elastic element where one end is locked in one fixing point and the other end is shaped as a loop which can be fastened on the first fixing point.
  • Fig 3 shows an elastic element formed as a circle with one fixing point on the elastic element, and where the elastic element could be fastened on the original fixing point.
  • Fig 4 shows how an elastic element could be mounted/hidden by mounting it on a retractor which automatic pulls it back.
  • Fig 5 shows how the elastic element could be hidden by mounting a weaker elastic element in one end so that the elastic element is being pulled away when it is not in use.
  • Fig 6 shows how a fixing point holds the elastic element fastened by the opening diameter on the fixing point is less than the diameter on the elastic element.
  • Fig 7 shows how a fixing point holds the elastic element fastened by using barbs in the fixing point.
  • Fig 8 shows how a fixing point could be fastened to a surface by the use of two plates with opposite claws underneath connected with an elastic element that pulls the plates toward each other.
  • Fig 9 shows how a bag could be opened and closed with the use of elastic elements.

Abstract

An elastic element is fixed either between one or several fixing points. This leads to that the loose items that should be fixed, locked or kept standing is locked by the the elastic element. The elastic element makes th useage flexible to different items and sizes. The elastic element can either be fixed in both ends, loose or a combination of the two. The solution can be used to hold shopping bags standing in the car or hold items fixed on the wall.
