Abstract, A retaining device with a foam block 1 having incisions and a frame 2. On account of its flexibility the foam is able to receive various objects such as tools, appliances and other utensils and to keep these ready for use by means of adhesion. In addition cables may be looped therein. It may also serve as a sales aid (display) and/or transport holder. It is simple to mount since it can have a self-adhesive mounting surface or be reinforced by a holder of metal, wood, plastic or another material which can be both applied by adhesion or screwed into place.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 21, 1990 and granted June 8, 1993. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 21, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 21, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
