Abstract
A system for securing items such as fishing hooks is disclosed. The system may include an elastomeric material having a slit formed therein. The elastomeric material may be compressed across the slit in order to reduce the width of the slit. A substrate with extensions may hold the elastomeric material in this compressed state. While the elastomeric material is held in the compressed state, an item such as a fishing hook may be inserted into the slit. The compression may enable the slit to securely grip the item.
Claims12
A system comprising:
- a box having an interior and comprising a planar substrate and extensions extending from the planer substrate;
- an elastomeric material overlaying the planar substrate and the extensions so as to be within the interior of the box;
- the elastomeric material comprising a slit having
- a length extending in a first direction,
- a width extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and
- a depth extending less than all the way through the elastomeric material in a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction;
- the box, wherein the extensions apply a compressive load to the elastomeric material across the slit in the second direction.
