Abstract
A placemat and tether system may include a mat body, a plurality of anchors and an elongated tether. The mat body may be characterized by a front side and a back side. Each anchor in the plurality of anchors may include an anchor block on the front side and a suction cup that extends from the back side, opposite the anchor block. The elongated tether may have an anchor end and a retention end, where the anchor end is removably coupleable to one of the plurality of anchors via a compression fit. The elongated tether may have three distinct segments—a first segment with a circular cross section; a second segment that is removably coupleable, via a compression fit, to the retention end to thereby form a loop; and a third segment with an elastic winding section configured to facilitate stretching along a length of the elongated tether.
