US Patent 7841571 Tension based fastening system for holding an article

A tension-based fastening system for holding an article comprising a forward-facing S-shaped plate and a reverse-facing S-shaped plate. The reverse-facing plate is disposed over and integrally connected to the forward-facing plate, forming a top tensioned holder portion and a bottom tensioned holder portion for removably holding objects. The reverse top arc of the reverse-facing plate and the forward top arc of the forward-facing plate overlap to form a top opening, while the reverse bottom arc of the forward-facing plate and the forward bottom arc of the reverse-facing plate overlap to form a bottom opening. The overlapping arcs provide tension for maintaining each tensioned holder portion in a closed position.
