Benefits of technology

[0003]In view of the above, it is an aspect of the present invention to provide a multifunctional band that assumes different shapes and applies to different functions in an easy and practical manner, enabling application of the band in several situations without the need of undergoing plastic alterations.

Problems solved by technology

It should be noted, however, that such bands are specific for the function they are intended (purse straps, book lashing, etc.), and do not have characteristics that enable their proper and satisfactory use in functions that are distinct from those for which they were constructed, Therefore, several different types of malleable bands must be constructed, with different fastening and malleability characteristics, in order to fulfill the different intended uses.

Embodiment Construction

[0012]Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the multifunctional band 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention includes a flexible elongated body 2. The body 2 may be flexible from a first end to an opposing second end or in any predetermined region intermediate the opposing ends. The flexible nature of the body 2 provides the band 1 with the ability to assume a variety of shapes and functions, while only undergoing elastic strains.

[0013]The elongated body 2 includes a first surface 5 that may be flat, textured or smooth, and a second surface 6 on an opposite surface relative to the first surface 5. The second surface 6 may also be flat, textured or smooth.

[0014]The multifunctional band 1 further includes at least one connection button 3, which links to a corresponding at least one connection slit 4. The connection button 3 and the connection slit 4 are arranged on the elongated body 2 wherein the connection slit 4 includes an oblong-shaped through hole defined therein. Walls of ...

Abstract

A multifunctional band includes a flexible elongated body having at least one connection button that engages at least one connection slit. The at least one connection button and at least one connection slit being arranged on the elongated body.

Description

[0001]This invention relates to a multifunctional band having a flexible elongated body, and a plurality of connection buttons and slits which allow the band to assume multiple shapes and functions.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART[0002]Flexible or malleable bands are constructed to assume a specific shape and function in the assembly of an object, such as, for example only, malleable bands have been used as straps for purses, backpack, and even used to lash books together, and the like. It should be noted, however, that such bands are specific for the function they are intended (purse straps, book lashing, etc.), and do not have characteristics that enable their proper and satisfactory use in functions that are distinct from those for which they were constructed, Therefore, several different types of malleable bands must be constructed, with different fastening and malleability characteristics, in order to fulfill the different intended uses.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]In view of th...
