Abstract
A locking buckle system having a locking work piece formed as a plate. The plate has at least a first pair of opposing channels. An elastomeric cord with a first portion of the elastomeric cord coupled to the plate. A second portion of the cord extends from the first portion and is stretched and held in tension and wrapped around one or more objects to form a bundle. A second portion of the cord is held in tension and compressed as it passes through a first channel in the plate. The elastomeric cord is stretched and forced to pass through a second of the first pair of opposing channels or through a first channel of the second opposing pair of channel. the remaining fourth portion of the elastomeric cord being forced to pass through a remaining unoccupied opposing channel.
Claims8
A system for bundling two or more objects comprising:
- a locking work piece formed as a plate, the plate having at least a first pair of opposing channels and a second pair of opposing channels,
- an elastomeric cord,
- a means for coupling a first portion at a first end of the elastomeric cord to the work piece,
- a second portion of the elastomeric cord extending from the first portion and stretched and held in tension and wrapped around one or more objects to form
- a bundle,
- the elastomeric cord second portion being held in tension passing through a first channel of the first pair of opposing channels, the first opposing channel having
- a channel width characterized to compress the second portion of the elastomeric cord, the second portion extending to a third portion of the elastomeric cord,
- the third portion or remainder of the elastomeric cord then being stretched and forced to pass through a second of the first pair of opposing channels or through a first channel of the second opposing pair of channels, the remaining fourth portion of the elastomeric cord being forced to pass through
- a remaining unoccupied opposing channel.
