Abstract
Described herein generally are flexible securing devices. The devices are extremely easy to use to the point that adults of all ages can use the devices, even the most elderly who would otherwise be incapable. The devices comprise a body which is at least partially bendable or flexible. The body's core generally comprises a metal alloy and in the body's bendable or flexible sections a bendable or flexible metal alloy is used. The body is coated with a least one polymeric coating to protect items, objects or persons interacting with the securing devices from getting damaged or injured from the devices themselves.
Claims9
A flexible securing device comprising:
- a metal body including a single piece of metal having a first appendage, a second appendage, and a third appendage, wherein the metal body further includes a first side having a first magnetic charge and a second side having a second magnetic charge, wherein the first magnetic charge and the second magnetic charge are configured to attract to each other, wherein the first appendage and the second appendage and are located at the opposite end of the metal body from the third appendage, wherein the first appendage and the second appendage reside adjacent to each other and extend in parallel directions, wherein the metal body is at least partially formed of a bendable metal alloy, and wherein the metal body is covered with a coating material.
A flexible securing device comprising:
- a body formed of a bendable metal alloy comprising a first side having a first magnetic charge and a second side having a second magnetic charge, wherein the first magnetic charge and the second magnetic charge attract each other, wherein the body has at least a first appendage and a second appendage at the first end of the body wherein the first appendage and the second appendage reside adjacent to each other and extend in parallel directions, and wherein the metal alloy is coated with a non-degradable polymeric material by dipping spraying, vapor deposition, brushing, or a combination thereof.
