Patent ID: 7841571

Claim:
A tension-based fastening system for holding an article consisting of: a forward-facing S-shaped plate consisting of: a forward top arc, a reverse bottom arc, and a first perforation disposed therethrough; a reverse-facing S-shaped plate consisting of: a reverse top arc, a forward bottom arc, and a second perforation disposed therethrough, wherein each top arc and each bottom arc has a contact surface; wherein the reverse-facing S-shaped plate is disposed over the forward-facing S-shaped plate, a fastener simultaneously disposed through the first perforation and the second perforation connecting the reverse-facing S-shaped plate to the forward-facing S-shaped plate, forming a top tensioned holder portion for removably holding a first object and a bottom tensioned holder portion for removably holding a second object; a third perforation disposed through the forward top arc proximate a top of the forward-facing S-shaped plate; a fourth perforation disposed through the reverse bottom arc proximate a bottom of the forward-facing S-shaped plate; a fifth perforation disposed through the reverse top arc proximate a top of the reverse-facing S-shaped plate; a sixth perforation disposed through the forward bottom arc proximate a bottom of the a reverse-facing S-shaped plate; a first locking device simultaneously engaged through the third perforation and the fifth perforation; a second locking device simultaneously engaged through the fourth perforation and the sixth perforation; wherein the reverse top arc contact surface is disposed over and contacts the forward top arc contact surface, forming a top opening for securing around the first object, wherein the contact between the reverse top arc contact surface and the forward top arc contact surface provides a tension between each top arc wherein the tension maintains the top tensioned holder portion in a closed position around the first object; and wherein the reverse bottom arc contact surface is disposed over and contacts the forward bottom arc contact surface, forming a bottom opening for securing around the second object, wherein the contact between the reverse bottom arc contact surface and the forward bottom arc contact surface provides a tension between each bottom arc, wherein the tension maintains the bottom tensioned holder portion in a closed position around the second object.
