Abstract

A strap assembly for holding articles such as road maps against a surface such as an automobile sun visor is held in position by end mounts, each including a looped connector having a flat loop engaged by a loop of the strap end and an eye swiveled on a pivot attached to and extending between a faceplate and a mounting member such as a strip spring clip, a pressure-sensitive adhesive backplate or a suction cup. Decorative overlays can be interchangeably attached to the faceplate such as by pressure-sensitive adhesive, by a slide or by spring clips. The length of the holding strap can be adjusted and held in adjusted condition by spring finger clasps holding the end portions of the strap to form loops.
