Filed:

Apr 25, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/186000

Inventors:

Robert E. Lamb - Newport News VA

International Classification:

A47G 1908

US Classification:

211 41

Abstract:

A strap is provided for retaining at least one article on a rack. The strap comprises at least three spaced apart, substantially annular eyelets, and at least one elongated resilient cord. The cord serves to resiliently attach the eyelets to each other. The third eyelet can be positioned either between the first two eyelets in a substantially parallel fashion or in a fashion which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cord that fits around the cord. Second and third cords can be provided to provide an assembly which is more flexible in terms of attaching one or more breakable items to a dishwasher rack, and to minimize wear and breakage on the articles during the dishwashing process.
