Means to associate a first object and a second object

摘要

The invention uses a strap to provide a way to associate a first item with a second item. The first item may be, for example, a high chair and the second a toy. The strap is provided with two sets of openings one near each end of the strap, and a tab, post, “T” or other shape near each end of the strap. The shape is inserted through one of the openings and is secured there by its shape, the shape of the opening, and the material with which that portion of the strap is made. The strap is made of nontoxic material and at least in part of material that is flexible and resilient, having a durometer reading of between about 40 and 60 Shore A. The strap may be equipped with at least one breakaway point, usually set for a breakaway pressure between about 3 and 7 pounds.
