Abstract
A fender hook is disclosed that is formed by a base material carrying a gripping material disposed between sections of hook and loop material. By wrapping the base material over upon itself, the gripping material is brought into frictional engagement with a mounting substrate such as a nautical railing and is held in place by the hook and loop material.
Claims20
A fender hook comprising a base material defining at least one aperture and first and second sides, a gripping material affixed to the first side, a hook material and a loop material each attached to the first side, the hook and loop materials opposingly oriented relative to the gripping material on the first side of the base material, whereby the gripping material is brought into contact with a mounting substrate and the hook and loop materials are brought into contact with each other when a first portion of the fender hook is folded upon a second portion of the fender hook.
A fender hook comprising a base material defining first and second sides, a rectangular shape with a length and at least one aperture circumscribed by a grommet, a gripping material defining a rectangular shape with a length less than that of the base material affixed to the first side, a hook material and a loop material each attached to the first side, the hook and loop materials opposingly oriented longitudinally relative to the gripping material on the first side of the base material, whereby the gripping material is brought into contact with a railing and the hook and loop materials are brought into contact with each other when a first portion of the fender hook is folded upon a second portion of the fender hook.
A fender hook comprising a base material defining at least one aperture and first and second sides, a gripping material defining a coefficient of kinetic friction when wet and dry of at least 3.0 N and affixed to the first side, a hook material and a loop material each attached to the first side, the hook and loop materials opposingly oriented longitudinally relative to the gripping material on the first side of the base material, whereby the gripping material is brought into contact with a mounting substrate and the hook and loop materials are brought into contact with each other when a first portion of the fender hook is folded upon a second portion of the fender hook.
