Abstract
A structure comprises an elongate, resiliently deformable cable, a body section comprising a cable-receiving aperture, said aperture being dimensioned so as to retain a length of said cable within it in use while permitting relative movement of said cable relative to the aperture in a direction along the length of the cable upon application of a set manipulating force, and retaining means for retaining the cable at a set position relative to the body section absent application of said force, wherein the cable at least partially defines the shape of the structure, and said shape may be changed by application of said manipulating force thus causing relative movement between the cable and the body section in a direction along the length of the cable.

A structure having a shape, the structure comprising:
- an elongate, resiliently deformable cable,
- a body section comprising a cable-receiving aperture, said aperture being dimensioned so as to retain a length of said cable within said aperture in use while permitting relative movement of said cable relative to the aperture in a direction along the length of the cable upon application of a set manipulating force, and
- retaining means for retaining the cable at a set position relative to the body section absent application of said force,
- wherein the cable at least partially defines the shape of the structure, and said shape may be changed by application of said manipulating force thus causing relative movement between the cable and the body section in a direction along the length of the cable.
A kit of parts comprising:
- at least one resiliently deformable elongate member, said member comprising at least one aperture and at least one protrusion extending from a surface of said member, and
- a plurality of resiliently deformable cables with means for attachment to said protrusions,
- said at least one aperture being dimensioned so as to retain a length of one of said plurality of cables within said at least one aperture in use while permitting relative movement of said cable relative to the aperture in a direction along the length of the cable upon application of a set manipulating force.
