Claims13
A device for holding elongated objects, comprising:
- means for forming a substantially stiff elongated base surface;
- means for forming a countersurface spacedly juxtaposed with said base surface to define an elongated gap between said surfaces open at least along one longitudinal edge of the gap;
- means for securing said base surface in spatially fixed relationship with said countersurface to maintain a width of said gap;
- and
- a surface array of bunches of elastically deflectable resilient bristles on said base surface, said bristles extending from said base surface toward the other of said surfaces and deflectable by an object to be held inserted into said gap through said longitudinal edge of the gap to retain said object to be held by elastic force of deflected bristles against said object to be held, said bunches of bristles being uniformly distributed over said base surface, said bristles being bristles of a strip of commercial carpeting.
