Abstract
A tie-wire holster having a tire-shaped body formed of a flexible polymer material. The body includes sidewalls having first and second central openings, and at least two slots formed in the first sidewall, the slots extending from the central opening of the first sidewall into a top circumferential portion. A spool-shaped attachment member with a first flange and a second flange, the second flange sized to extend though the body's second central opening and the first flange sized to not be capable of extending through the second central opening. The first flange is positioned against an interior of the second sidewall and the second flange is positioned against an exterior of the second sidewall.
Claims14
A tie-wire holster comprising:
- (a) a tire-shaped body formed of a unitary section of flexible polymer material having a Shore A hardness of between about 40 and about 70, the body including a top circumferential portion and first and second radially inward extending sidewalls;
- (b) the body having an outer diameter between about 4 and about 7 inches, and the sidewalls having a central opening between about 1.5 and about 4 inches in diameter;
- (c) at least two slots formed in the first sidewall, the slots extending from an inner edge of the first sidewall into the top circumferential portion;
- (d) a spool-shaped attachment member with a first flange and a second flange connected by a web portion, the first flange having a larger diameter than the second flange, and the first flange being positioned against an interior of the second sidewall and the second flange being positioned against an exterior of the second sidewall.
A tie-wire holster comprising:
- (a) a tire-shaped body formed of a flexible polymer material, the body including a top circumferential portion and first and second radially inward extending sidewalls;
- (b) the body having an outer diameter and the sidewalls having a central opening;
- (c) at least two slots formed in the first sidewall, the slots extending from the central opening of the first sidewall into the top circumferential portion;
- (d) a spool-shaped attachment member with a first flange and a second flange, the first flange having a larger diameter than the second flange, the second flange sized to extend through the body's central opening and the first flange sized to not be capable of extending through the central opening;
- and

- (a) a tire-shaped body formed of a flexible polymer material having a Shore A hardness of between about 40 and about 70, the body including a top circumferential portion and first and second radially inward extending sidewalls;
- (b) the body having an outer diameter and a first sidewall having a central opening;
- (c) at least two slots formed in the first sidewall, the slots extending from the central opening of the first sidewall into the top circumferential portion;
- and
- (d) wherein the slots are configured to enable the sidewall to spread apart sufficiently to insert a roll of tie-wire into the holster body.
