An elongated flexible member has a center portion and a pair of end portions with each end portion having a plurality of openings therein. A module has an elongated tubular body defining a chamber therein and has a pair of tabs extending in opposite directions therefrom. A pair of fasteners with each fastener having a male connector positioned on one side and a female connector having open slot on the opposite side is provided. Each of the module tabs insert into one of fastener female connector open slots. Each of the fastener male connector insert into one of the elongated flexible member end portion openings to connect the module to the elongated flexible member.

A load-rated tool tether has a gate and a serrated surface strap integrally formed with the gate and extending from the gate. The gate has a channel therethrough between an entrance and an exit and a locking tang operably interfacing the channel between the entrance and the exit for the feed in and one-way non-releasable engagement of the strap therethrough in use. The tether has a securement ring integrally formed with the gate and extending from between the entrance and the connection edge of the gate at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the channel. When the strap is tightened around a tool, the securement ring is resiliency held by the integrally formed gate secured either side thereof by the strap between the integral connection edge and the entrance in a spaced apart configuration and the undersurface bears tangentially against the tool.

A support for a hand-operated device is disclosed herein. The support comprises an arm band having an inner surface configured to surround and contact at least a portion of a user's forearm, and an opposite outer surface, and a cordholder attached to the arm band, the cordholder having a length extending diagonally relative to the length direction of the user's radius when the arm band is mounted on the user's forearm. A corresponding method is also disclosed.

A hinged support apparatus and method for a portable electronic display device is disclosed that includes a mounting plate and an elongated base each, respectively, having a proximal and a distal end portion. The hinged support apparatus includes a mounting plate and an elongated base, at least a portion of which is disposed upon and coplanar with the mounting plate. The mounting plate and the elongated base can include tenons that can engage in position stops located in mortises in the opposite parts. Using these tenons and mortises, the distal end of the elongated base can be locked or interlocked into a position at a splayed out angle from the mounting plate for easier viewing.

A system for carrying or using a device includes the device and at least one attachment apparatus. The device may include at least one attachment element. The attachment apparatus may include a length of material and at least one attachment point arranged on an end of the length of material. The at least one attachment point may include at least one magnetic feature configured to attach and detach the device and the length of material. The material can include but is not limited to cloth, metallic (magnetic and non-magnetic), fibrous material, and so forth.

A mobile device display stand structure includes: a shaft driven and rotated by applying a critical moment greater than a resistance of the shaft to overcome the resistance of the shaft; and a first lever and a second lever connected to the shaft separately. The first lever and the second lever use the shaft as a fulcrum and flip over relative to each other by the shaft to define an included angle, and the first lever and the second lever are plate-shaped bodies. When the included angle is 0-180 degrees, the gravity of the first lever generates a first moment relative to the shaft or the gravity of the second lever generates a second moment smaller than the critical moment relative to the shaft, such that the first lever or the second lever cannot be rotated relative to the shaft and the included angle is kept constant.
