  • Patent number: 5086543
    Abstract: A wrapping device in the form of an elastic strip of material varying in length and width, yet sufficient for wrapping around objects. Fastener portions which are pressure sensitive and adapted for releasable engagement are attached at the ends of the opposite sides of the material and sometimes near the center which enables the device to be adjustably secured around objects of varying sizes. The fastener portions are such that forces applied by the objects tending to separate them place interacting parts of the fastener portion in shear or tension, rather than peel. A release loop is attached to the exposed end of the strip of material to aid in disengagement of the fastener portions. A loop tab may be attached near the center of the exposed side of the strip of material to allow the wrapping device to be placed in a hanging position.
