The structure is shaped eitherwith varying longitudinal distances between consecutive turns, varying internal latitudinal

width dimensions of the individual turns, or both. An object can be retained within thestructure by having a dimension of the object greater than an internal latitudinal width ofone of the multiple turns of the structure. By having an internal dimension of another oneof the multiple turns and/or the longitudinal distance between two consecutive turnsbeing greater than a dimension of the object, the object can be positioned inside of thestructure to be retained by the structure even though both the structure and the objectare made from non-resilient materials such as metal, glass, stiff plastic, etc.申请人：THOMPSON DAVID A.
