Detailed Description
Referring to FIG. 1, shown therein and generally designated by the reference character 10 is the personal electronic device carrier 10 constructed in accordance with the following description. The carrier 10 comprises a pocket portion 11 that
includes a front layer 12, wherein the front layer 12 includes a portion 13 with perforations 14 for transmission of auditory signals there through when a personal
electronic device such as a phone is inserted into the pocket portion 11, and a back
layer 15 wherein a portion of the layers are attached together about their edges 16 so as to allow a personal electronic device to be removeably inserted into the pocket portion 11. The front 12 and back 15 layers are attached about a portion of their edges by means common in the art, and may include, adhesive, sewing, or any other like means know or to be discovered.
The front layer 12 is made of a flexible transparent material, preferably PVC,
so as to allow operation of said device when positioned in said pocket, however, any like material could be used. For example, when a phone is inserted, the user can still
operate the buttons through the transparent and flexible front layer 12 and speak through the perforations 14 which allow the auditory signals to pass through. See FIG. 10 for an example of a clamshell style phone 40 is shown inserted into the carrier 10. The clamshell phone generally comprises a first 41 (the display) and second
region 42 (the keypad) and only the second region 42 is inserted into the pocket portion 11. When the phone 40 is closed, the first region 41 comes in contact with the front layer 12. It should be appreciated that a candy bar styled phone would also be
functional when placed in the carrier 10 in the same way.
Referring to FIG. 3 and 6, the back layer 15 includes a loop layer 16 wherein a portion of the back layer 15 and loop layer 16 are attached together at the upper 17
and lower regions 18 so at to create a looped portion 19. In further embodiments, the
loop layer 16 may include a storage portion 20 such as a small pocket for storing personal items such as money. The looped portion allows for a strap means such as a
body strap 30 to thread between the back layer 15 and the loop layer 16 so that the carrier 10 can be attached to a variety of objects such as an exercise device, a body part of the user, or any location desired by the user. See FIGS. 8B-8E, for various examples of where the carrier can be secured with the body strap 30, which include the arm, wrist, leg, and ankle. Preferably the body strap 30 utilizes a hook and loop assembly such as Velcro™ to secure the carrier 10 to an object. Such hook and loop assemblies are well known in the art, but to briefly describe how the assembly is
utilized in the present example, the outer layer of the strap 30 has the loop portion and the hook portion resides on a clip portion 31 at one end 32 of the strap. A D-ring 33 is
located at the opposite end 34 of the strap 30. In a further embodiment, the strap is customizable to the given user and to the particular location that user wants to attach
the carrier to. This is accomplished since the clip portion 31 is fixedly detachable to the strap 30, such that a user can remove the clip 31 by opening it, trim off the desired
amount of strap, and reattach the clip 31 by closing it upon the end 32 of the strap 30. See FIG. 5A for an example of the clip portion 31 shown in its open state and FIG. 4B for the strap 30 and D-ring 33. Additional strap means include the utilization of an
eyelet 21 located on the back layer 15 of the carrier. The eyelet 21 allows for the attachment of various strap means, examples of which are shown in FIGS. 4C-4E, and include a bracelet strap 22, necklace strap 23, and a belt loop and purse strap 24 respectively. See FIG. 8A for an example of the necklace strap 23 attached to the
carrier 10 at the eyelet 21 and worn by a user The eyelet 21 is preferably made of a durable material such as metal.
Referring now FIGS. 2 and 7, the carrier 10 includes retaining means fixedly attached within said pocket portion 11 for detachably retaining the personal electronic device in the carrier 10. The retaining means preferably is a hook and loop assembly such that one portion 25 of said hook and loop assembly is attached to said back layer 15 within said pocket portion 11 and one portion 26 is attached to a portion on the device to be retained, such that when the hook and loop assembly is engaged, the device is detachably retained in said pocket portion 11. Preferably the portion 25 attached to the back layer 15 is sewn on; however, an adhesive or similar means
would also work. And preferably, the portion 25 attached to the back layer would be
the loop portion. For the hook portion 26 attached to the device, an adhesive is the preferred means of attachment which is accomplished by hook tape as shown by way of example in FIG. 5.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 9, the carrier 10 may include at least one jewelry
attachment region located about the periphery 29 of said pocket portion 11 for attachment of personal effects 44 (such as jewelry) to the carrier 10 so that the carrier can be personalized by a user. Such jewelry attachment means allow the carrier to be
personalized by the user and such means generally come in two types. The first type is attachment loops 27 attached to the back layer 15 of the carrier 10. The second type includes holes 28 in the corners of the front layer 12. The attachment means on the carrier 10 allows for the user to attach personal effects 44 that include hooks, clasps,
or any other similar engagement device to the carrier by engaging the attachment loops 27 or the holes 28. The holes 28 in the front layer 12 may also be utilized for
attaching various accessories to the personal electronic device such as head phones, chargers, or any other desired accessory.
While the present disclosure has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is understood that this disclosure is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
Industrial Applicability
The disclosed inventions would be valuable to anyone that needs to carry a
personal electronic device, as they would now be able to carry the device in various locations on their body, while at the same time, being still able to utilize the device while it is maintained in the carrier.
