Abstract:
1. A removable fastening system for supporting a second object using a first object, the removable fastening system comprising: a first flexible flat metal spiral with a first tension for wrapping around a first exterior of a first object, wherein the first object has a first object longitudinal axis and a length larger than a width of the first object, and wherein the first tension causes the first flexible flat metal spiral to coil into a first ring when not engaging the first object; a second flexible flat metal spiral with a second tension for wrapping around a second exterior of a second object, wherein the second object has a second object longitudinal axis, and wherein the second tension causes the second flexible flat metal spiral to coil into a second ring when not engaging the second object; a non-removable rotating pin engaging the first flexible flat metal spiral on a first side opposite the first object at a first angle ranging from 170 degrees to 190 degrees while engaging the second flexible flat metal spiral on a second side opposite the second object at a second angle ranging from 170 degrees to 190 degrees; wherein the second object tensions the removable fastening system while the removable fastening system is connected to the first object; and wherein the first flexible flat metal spiral dissipates a first force along the first object longitudinal axis while wrapping around the first object and the second flexible flat metal spiral dissipates a second force along the second object longitudinal axis enabling the first flexible flat metal spiral to support the second object.
