Abstract:
An apparatus for fastening objects comprises a flexibly deformable wire having a length extending between first and second opposed wire end surfaces and an elastically deformable tube having a length extending between first and second opposed tube end edges, the tube surrounding the wire along the length of the wire between the first and second end surfaces of the wire. The apparatus further comprises a cover having a length extending between first and second opposed distal cover ends wherein the cover surrounds the tube wherein the length of the wire, the length of the tube and the length of the cover are substantially equal to each other and wherein the wire, tube and cover are all securedly coupled to each other along a coupling distance extending from each of the first and second ends thereof so as to form a unitary fastening body having a common length.

Claim (Index 12):
A method for forming a fastener comprising:\n providing a flexibly deformable wire having a length extending between first and second opposed wire end surfaces; locating an elastically deformable tube having a length extending between first and second opposed tube end edges around said wire, said tube surrounding said wire along said length of said wire between said first and second end surfaces of said wire; locating a cover having a length extending between first and second opposed distal cover ends around said tube, wherein said length of said wire, said length of said tube and said length of said cover are substantially equal to each other; and securedly coupling each of said wire, said tube and said cover to each other along a coupling distance extending from each of said first and second ends thereof so as to form a unitary fastening body having a common length.
