Abstract

A quick-tying device, preferably, combines objects that are to be tied together, especially, combines hair to form braids, ponytails or the like. The quick-tying device includes a flexible tightening device which can be shaped into a loop, and a stop element which is adjustable along the free ends of the tightening device. The tightening device is shaped into two loops, both of which equally embrace the material to be tied together; and a single stop element has a plurality of openings for threading the tightening device therethrough.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Quick clamping device for holding of objects to be fixed to each other, comprises one flexible traction device formable into at least one loop, and a stop element adjustable along free ends of the traction, wherein
 a) the traction device is formed into two loops, which both equally encompass the objects to be fixed to each other; and   b) one single stop element with several openings through which the traction device is threaded.   
     
     
         2 . Quick clamping device after  claim 1 , wherein the area between both loops of the traction device goes through the stop element at least once. 
     
     
         3 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 1 , wherein the traction device is in the area between both loops, and/or in that area where it is fed through the stop element, is somewhat parallel with the surface area of the stop element. 
     
     
         4 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 1 , wherein the traction device is fed through the stop element at least three or four times. 
     
     
         5 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 1 , wherein the stop element comprises at least one continuous middle opening in the middle area between both loops for the traction means. 
     
     
         6 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 5 , wherein the stop element comprises at least one hole each for the separate threading of both ends of the traction means. 
     
     
         7 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 1 , wherein two ropes of the traction device are never fed together through the same opening of the stop element. 
     
     
         8 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 1 , wherein the stop element and the traction device are form-fitting or frictionally connected but not integrated. 
     
     
         9 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 1 , wherein the stop element has the shape of a plane or flat body. 
     
     
         10 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 1 , wherein the surface of the stop element is curved in the area of the middle opening. 
     
     
         11 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 1 , wherein in the area of the stop element or of a middle opening a bridge is provided which separates two mouths from each other. 
     
     
         12 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 11 , wherein the bridge is arranged within the surface of the stop element and thereby separates two middle openings completely from each other which comprise two mouths on each side of the surface, all together four mouths. 
     
     
         13 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 11 , wherein the bridge is beyond the surface of the stop element and crosses the middle opening there, so that this middle opening comprises two mouths on the same side of the surface of the stop element. 
     
     
         14 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 13 , wherein the continuous middle opening extends exclusively between the bridge and the body of the stop element, so that the body of the stop element does not comprise any recess extending to the opposite side facing away from the bridge there. 
     
     
         15 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 14 , wherein that the passing-through middle opening does not extend exclusively between the bridge and the body of the stop element, but also through the body of the stop element, so that the middle opening shows two mouths on the side facing the bridge, and one mouth on the side facing away from the bridge. 
     
     
         16 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 1 , both holes are positioned diametrical to each other with regard to the middle opening. 
     
     
         17 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 1 , wherein both holes are equidistant from the middle opening. 
     
     
         18 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 1 , wherein both holes and the middle opening lie on a common line, which snuggles to a curved surface of the stop element, otherwise however being straight. 
     
     
         19 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 1 , wherein the stop element shows a lengthy shape whose longitudinal extension runs in parallel with the center line through the three openings. 
     
     
         20 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 1 , wherein the end sections of the stop element which each comprise one of the two holes, are plane and lie within a common surface. 
     
     
         21 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 1 , wherein the curved middle section of the stop element starting at a crease or a curve transforms into the plane end sections aligned with each other. 
     
     
         22 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 1 , wherein the traction device is an elastic type band. 
     
     
         23 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 1 , wherein the traction device comprises a knot at one or both ends. 
     
     
         24 . Quick clamping device according to  claim 23 , wherein in the area between each of both knots and the stop element a stop device each with a through hole preferably with an inner diameter smaller than one knot of the traction device.
