Fixturing apparatus

1. A fixturing apparatus, comprising:

a flexible fabric strap comprising a first end, a second end, a first surface, and an opposing second surface, wherein a first plurality of loop-type fasteners are disposed on said first surface;

a housing comprising a rectangular cross-section, a first side, and an opposing second side, and formed to include an aperture extending through said housing from said first side to said second side, wherein said aperture comprise a first end formed in said first side and a second end formed in said second side, and wherein said aperture is defined by four walls, and wherein said first end of said fabric strap is attached to said housing;

a first plurality of locking teeth attached to and extending outwardly from one of said four aperture walls and into said aperture;

wherein each locking tooth comprises a parallelepiped comprising a rectangular base, a first rectangular side attached to a first end of said rectangular base and extending outwardly therefrom, and a second rectangular side attached to an opposing end of said rectangular base and extending outwardly therefrom, wherein a first rectangular side distal end is attached to a said second rectangular side distal end to form a gripping edge;

wherein;

said second end of said flexible strap can be inserted into said first end of said aperture, and moved in a first direction through said aperture and outwardly from said housing through second end of said aperture; and

after insertion in and through said aperture in said first direction, said flexible strap cannot be moved backwardly through said aperture in a second and 180 degree opposite direction.

2. The fixturing apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second plurality of loop-type fasteners disposed on said second surface of said flexible strap;

a second plurality of locking teeth attached to and extending outwardly from a second aperture wall.

3. The fixturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

said first rectangular side comprises a first surface area;

said second rectangular side comprises a second surface area;

said first surface area is less than said second surface area.

4. The fixturing apparatus of claim 3 , wherein said first rectangular side comprises a length between about 0.0001 mm and about 5.0 mm.

5. The fixturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said first side in combination with said base define a dihedral angle greater than 90 degrees.

6. The fixturing apparatus of claim 5 , wherein said first side in combination with said base define a dihedral angle of about 110 degrees.

7. The fixturing apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said first rectangular side in combination with said rectangular base define a dihedral angle of about 120 degrees.

8. The fixturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said first rectangular side in combination with said rectangular base define a dihedral angle of about 90 degrees.

9. The fixturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

said rectangular base comprises two parallel opposing short sides in combination with two parallel and opposing long sides;

each locking tooth comprises a long axis parallel to said long sides and which bisects each short side;

each locking tooth comprises a short axis parallel to said short sides and which bisects each long side;

said plurality of locking teeth are arranged in a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows.

10. The fixturing apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the long axes of each locking teeth disposed in a column are aligned with one another.

11. The fixturing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the short axis of each locking tooth disposed in a row are aligned with one another.

12. The fixturing apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the short axis of each locking tooth disposed in a row are not aligned with one another.

13. The fixturing apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the long axes of each locking teeth disposed in a column are not aligned with one another.

14. The fixturing apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the short axis of each locking tooth disposed in a row are aligned with one another.

15. The fixturing apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the short axis of each locking tooth disposed in a row are not aligned with one another.
