A wire is bent into an enclosed loop and double bent at each end to form a quadruple element hook extending from the loop. At least one elasticized loop is attached to the loop-hook by a pull-through knot. Additional elasticized loops may be added and alternated with rigid closed loops as desired. The entirely closed loop system may be used linearly or in a spiderlike fashion to bind external objects. Alignment of the two sides of the elasticized loop with the two sides of the quadruple element hook provides efficient load transfer from hook to elasticized loop. Prebending of the loop-hook opposite the hook further insures alignment.

An expansible elongated spanner strap comprising: a series of at least two enclosed loops alternately elasticized and rigid, which loops are interconnected by a pull-through knot formed by an elasticized loop engaging a rigid loop with two sides of the elasticized band contacting each other and positioned in parallel planar alignment with each other and with the plane of the rigid loop; and at one end of the spanner strap a rigid loop further comprising a hook means extending outwardly from the rigid loop in planar alignment with the rigid loop, which hook removably interlocks with a loop at an opposite end of the spanner strap to form a tensioned bond around at least one object bound by the spanner strap; wherein the rigid loop with hook extension comprises a wire bent into an enclosed rigid loop-hook, wherein each of two ends of the wire is bent back into parallel alignment and contact with a segment of the same wire interior to the end to form a double wire end, each of which double wire end is further bent into an arched configuration, and the two arched configurations are further bent into parallel contacting alignment to form a guadruple wire hook enclosing the rigid loop and extending therefrom in linear alignment with the two sides of the elasticized band engaging the opposite of the loop-hook.
