- a. base means for adhering the clamp to the object;
- b. flap means having first and second ends for engaging the article and formed separately from said base means;
- c. securing means comprising an adhesive material and including a first holding means for holding a first end of said flap means to said base means and a second holding means for holding a second end of said flap means to said base means, said second holding means being spaced from said first holding means with said adhesive material located in between, said spaced distance being a sufficient distance for the article to extend therebetween and said first and second holding means including a loop and a hook material.
- 2. A clamp as in claim 1 wherein said hook material is affixed on said flap means.
- 3. A clamp as in claim 2 wherein said base means has said loop material affixed only along opposite ends.

- 5. A clamp as in claim 4 wherein said securing means includes a continuous substrate fabric with loops sewn therein to form said loop material.
- 6. A clamp as in claim 5 wherein said flap is a continuous substrate fabric with hooks sewn therein to form said hook material.
- 7. A clamp as in claim 1 wherein said clamp further comprises a resilient pad located between said first and second holding means for contacting said positioned article.
- 8. A clamp as in claim 7 wherein said resilient pad is formed from a hot melt adhesive material.
- 9. A clamp as in claim 7 wherein said resilient pad includes a loop material and said hot melt adhesive material is dispersed partially therethrough and extending thereover to form an adhesive surface covering over a portion of the loop material.
- 10. A clamp as in claim 7, wherein said resilient pad has a flap surface being generally parallel with said adhesive surface and defining a resilient material thickness therebetween, said resilient material being affixed at said flap surface to said flap, said resilient material being deformed through its thickness upon movement of the article adhesively bonded thereto relative to said flap such that said adhesive surface moves to a greater extent than said flap surface.
