Disclosed is a device for removably securing a wide variety of objects to different surfaces utilizing a partial vacuum. The device includes flexible material (1) comprising one or more opening(s) (2), wherein each opening is capable of forming a continuous seal with a portion of an object (4) and the remaining material is capable of forming a continuous seal with a surface (5). The size of the opening and the size of the material can vary within the constraints that adequate material remains surrounding the opening to enable a continuous seal to be formed with a surface when an object is inserted into the opening. The device is used by inserting an object (4) into an opening (2), thereby forming a continuous seal between the object (4) and the opening (2) and pressing the device against a surface (5), displacing air to create a partial vacuum in a manner that causes a continuous seal to form between the flexible material (1) and the attachment surface (5), thereby removably securing the object (4) to the surface (5). |
