Object securing device

Abstract

The present invention provides a device for fastening a securing member to an object comprising: (a) a stabilizing block body, said body having a first end, a second end, a top side, a bottom side, a front face and a back face; (b) a slot positioned in the top side, forming a channel from the front face to the back face, the slot comprising a slot floor parallel with the top side; and (c) a receiving aperture, capable of receiving an end portion of a securing member, the receiving aperture positioned on the slot floor and penetrating into the body, capable of stabilizing the securing member in the vertical plane.

1 . A device for fastening a securing member to an object comprising: 
 a. A stabilizing block body, said body having a first end, a second end, a top side, a bottom side, a front face and a back face;    b. a slot positioned in the top side, forming a channel from the front face to the back face, the slot comprising a slot floor parallel with the top side; and    c. a receiving aperture, capable of receiving an end portion of a securing member, the receiving aperture positioned on the slot floor and penetrating into the body, capable of stabilizing the securing member in the vertical plane.    
   
   
       2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the securing member is an S-hook.  
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the object is a cord.  
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the cord is a bungee cord.  
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the slot is ¾ inches deep.  
   
   
       6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the slot is 3/16 inches wide.  
   
   
       7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the receiving aperture is about ¼ inches in diameter.  
   
   
       8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the receiving aperture is about 1½ inches deep.  
   
   
       9 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein the S hook comprises an insertion prong, a striking prong, a center portion and a substantially S shape.  
   
   
       10 . The device of  claim 1 , where the stabilizing block is made of plastic.  
   
   
       11 . The device of  claim 1 , where the stabilizing block is made of wood.  
   
   
       12 . The device of  claim 1 , where the stabilizing block is made of metal.  
   
   
       13 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one mounting aperture, the mounting aperture extending completely through the body from the front face to the back face, the mounting aperture capable of accepting there through an anchor device.  
   
   
       14 . The device of  claim 13 , wherein the mounting aperture is threaded.  
   
   
       15 . The method of fastening a securing member to an object using the device of  claim 1  comprising the following steps: 
 a. inserting the insertion prong of the S hook into the receiving aperture, thereby allowing the center portion of the S hook to lay substantially flat on the top of the stabilizing block;    b. striking the striking prong of the S hook with a striking means, causing the striking prong of the S hook to move towards the center portion of the S hook causing the striking prong of the S hook and the center portion of the S hook to substantially meet, the striking prong of the S hook thereby circumscribing an inner area; and    c. inserting an object into the inner area.    
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the object is a cord.  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the securing member is an S hook.  
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the object is a bungee cord.  
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the step of inserting an object into the inner area precedes the step of striking the striking prong.  
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the striking means is a hammer.
