Abstract: A securing device (10) for securing a first object (320) relative to a second object (322) includes a device body (12) that is formed from a material so that the device body (12) exhibits elongation of greater than four hundred percent. The material that forms the device body (12) has (i) an average dielectric strength of greater than 200 volts per mil and less than 700 volts per mil at 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and (ii) an average breakdown voltage of greater than 30,000 volts and less than 60,000 volts at 75 degrees Fahrenheit. The device body (12) is also formed from the material so that the device body (12) exhibits a tensile strength of between four thousand five hundred kPa and nine thousand three hundred kPa. The material that forms the device body (12) can include thermoplastic elastomers, and can further include styrene.

Abstract: A securing device (10) for securing a first object (320) relative to a second object (322), the securing device (10) being configured to frictionally maintain its position relative to the objects and to itself, includes a device body (12) having a first end (12A), an opposed second end (12B), and a cross-sectional area. The device body (12) is formed from a material so that the device body (12) exhibits tensile strength of greater than four thousand five hundred kPa and less than nine thousand three hundred kPa. The material that forms the device body (12) has an average coefficient of static friction of greater than 0.75 and less than 1.75 relative to itself. A ratio of the tensile strength (in kPa) to the cross-sectional area (in square millimeters) is greater than 40:1 and less than 100:1. The material that forms the device body (12) can include thermoplastic elastomers, and can further include styrene.

Abstract: A securing device (10) for securing a first object (320) relative to a second object (322) includes a device body (12) having a cross-sectional area, and which is formed from a material so that the device body (12) exhibits elongation of between six hundred percent and eight hundred percent. A ratio of the elongation (in percent) to the cross-sectional area (in square millimeters) is between approximately 5:1 and 10:1. The device body (12) is also formed from the material so that the device body (12) exhibits a tensile strength of between four thousand five hundred kPa and nine thousand three hundred kPa. A ratio of the tensile strength (in kPa) to the cross-sectional area (in square millimeters) is between approximately 50:1 and 85:1. The material that forms the device body (12) has an average kinetic coefficient of friction of between approximately 1.35 and 1.60 relative to itself. The material that forms the device body (12) can include thermoplastic elastomers, and can further include styrene.
