Abstract:
1. A wrap for holding a sheet with a transferable image against an article having upper and lower edges for transferring an image from said sheet to said article comprising: A. an elastomeric, flexible web of material having first and second ends, a top and a bottom, said top and said bottom extending between said first and second ends; B. a connector coupled to said web in proximity to said first and second ends, said connector releasably holding said first and second ends towards each other with said top of said web towards said upper edge and said bottom of said web towards said lower edge and with said web forcing said sheet toward said article and said sheet into contact with said article, said connector placing said web under an extension force, said extension force being greater near said upper edge and said lower edge of said article than near the center between said upper and lower edges of said article, said connector comprising first and second separate elongated flexible parts, said first part having first and second extremities and said second part having third and fourth extremities, said first and second parts being attached near said first and second ends, respectively, with said first and second extremities of said first and said third and fourth extremities of second part extending beyond said top and said bottom of said web, with said first and third extremities and said second and fourth extremities being able to be releasably coupled to each other, with said first extremity of said first part being able to be releasably coupled to said third extremity of said second part and said second extremity of said first part being able to be releasably coupled to said fourth extremity of said second part, said web and said first and second parts having sufficient flexibility such that, when said first and third extremities are coupled with each other and said second and fourth extremities are coupled with each other and a force is applied to and near said first and second ends of said web and in a direction to pull said first and second ends away from each other, said first and second flexible parts will flex and upon being so pulled with said first and second parts flexing, the portions of said first and second parts lying between said respective first and second extremities of said first part and said third and fourth extremities of said second part will lie further from each other than the distances between said first and second extremities of said first part from respectively said third and fourth extremities of said second part.
