Unitary elastic binding element

Abstract

A unitary elastic binding element includes an endless band member made of a silicon material which will not pollute our environment, and which is formable into and retained in any predetermined contours or shapes or configurations. The endless band member may include either a square cross section, a rectangular cross section, a cylindrical cross section, or a circular cross section. The endless band member may include one or more words, or one or more patterns applied onto the outer peripheral portions for such as decorative purposes.

1 . A unitary elastic binding element comprising:
 an endless band member made of a silicon polymer material, and formable into and retained in a predetermined contour, and   said endless band member including a circular cross section and including at least one word and at least one pattern applied thereon.   
   
   
       2 . A unitary elastic binding element comprising:
 an endless band member made of a silicon polymer material, and formable into and retained in a predetermined contour, and   said endless band member including a square cross section and including at least one word and at least one pattern applied thereon.   
   
   
       3 . A unitary elastic binding element comprising:
 an endless band member made of a silicon polymer material, and formable into and retained in a predetermined contour, and   said endless band member including a cylindrical cross section and including at least one word and at least one pattern applied thereon.
