Claims12
A twist-tie device for use in bendably wrapping around at least a portion of a first equipment, comprising:
- a tubular elongate piece of soft foam material operable to provide a non-slip, soft, and non-scratch engagement with at least a portion of a first equipment, the tubular elongate piece of soft foam material having an outer diameter;
- a bendable strip of wire directly surrounded by and nonadhered to said tubular elongate piece of soft foam material, wherein the bendable strip of wire comprises a solid metal material extending continuously along a central longitudinal axis of the bendable strip of wire;
- a first end cap positioned at a first end of said tubular elongate piece of soft foam material, wherein the first end cap has a first outer diameter that is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the tubular elongate piece of soft foam material;
- and
- a second end cap positioned at a second end of said tubular elongate piece of soft foam material, wherein the second end cap has a second outer diameter that is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the tubular elongate piece of soft foam material,
- wherein the bendable strip of wire has a degree of rigidity so as to retain its form when bent or straightened, and
- wherein the twist-tie device has a diameter between about 0.5 inch and about 2.5 inches and a length of at least about 10 inches.
