Rubber band

A rubber band (in some regions known as a binder and in others as an elastic) is a short length of rubber formed in the shape of a loop. Such bands are typically used to hold objects together. The rubber band was invented in England on March 17, 1845 by Stephen Perry.

Rubber bands are sometimes used to power model aircraft.
