  • Patent number: 4890730
    Abstract: Apparatus for separately holding a multiplicity of each of several different sized elastic bands such as rubber bands. The apparatus includes a body having a multiplicity of storage regions, each of which has a storage slot. Further, the circumferences of at least two of the storage slots in different storage regions are different from one another. More specifically, a storage region is formed by disposing a first storage slot having a first circumference between two other restraining or confining ridges or regions, each of which ridges or regions has a larger circumference than the first region. Different sized elastic bands are then wrapped about the body in the different storage regions. The circumference about the body in a storage slot of a particular storage region which is appropriately sized to hold a particular elastic band is at least as large as the circumference of the inside surface of the elastic band.
