Patent ID: 7356884

Claim:
A device for securing an article to a substrate, the device comprising: an elongated resilient strap having a first strap portion and a second strap portion, the first strap portion having a first free end and a first proximal end, the second strap portion having a second free end and a second proximal end, the first free end terminating in a strap passage, wherein the second free end of the strap is extendable through the strap passage to provide mechanical engagement between the strap and the strap passage and thereby fastening the first strap portion to the second strap portion and forming a loop for supporting the article, the loop providing an article securing space defined between a first inner surface on the first strap portion and a second inner surface on the second strap portion, where the first inner surface and the second inner surface face each other; and a base positioned between the first proximal end of the first strap portion and the second proximal end of the second strap portion, the base including a surface adapted for fastening the base to the substrate and a support surface having a concave portion forming a resilient concave cavity opposite the surface adapted for fastening the base to the substrate, the concave portion of the support surface being spaced radially inward from the first inner surface and the second inner surface and toward the article securing space.
