Clasp For Tethering

摘要

A clasp or clamp secures a string or rope, such as made from stretch wrap, to an object such as in securing an object to a pallet for shipping. The clasp or clamping device readily secures one end of the string and allows for tightening of the string through pulling a second end of the string through a second portion of the clasp or clamping device. The second end of the string can be tied off or secured on the second portion of the clasp or claiming device. The clasp or clamping device further includes at least two protrusions extending from one of the first end and the second end, the at least two protrusions defining a space there-between. The space between the at least two protrusions includes a narrow portion to impede slippage of the string.

主权项

1. An apparatus for using string created from stretch film to secure shipping materials to a shipping pallet, the apparatus comprising:
a longitudinal body having a first end and a second end opposite to the first end,
wherein the longitudinal body includes a first portion that defines at the first end a first aperture,wherein the longitudinal body includes a middle portion, between the first end and the second end and defining at least one middle aperture defined in part by a finger having a hook extending inwardly toward the middle aperture; at least two protrusions extending from the second end, the at least two protrusions defining a space there-between, wherein the at least two protrusions are shaped to define a distance between corresponding opposing pinching portions of the at least two protrusions that is smaller than at least a portion the space defined between other portions of the at least two protrusions, wherein the corresponding opposing pinching portions are located farther from the longitudinal body than the space defined by other portions of the at least two protrusions.
