A leash assembly is attached to a personal device. The leash assembly includes a housing, a cord expending from the housing, and a chain extending from the cord and attached to the device. The cord is retractable into the housing and the chain is blocked from retracting into the housing. The chain may be pivotally attached to a base attached to the device by a single sided adhesive tab, or pad, or other adhesive or mechanical structure sufficient to retain the chain on the device so that the device cannot easily be accidentally removed. The device may be directly attached to the housing of the leash assembly by mechanical or magnetic features, and when the attachment is magnetic, a magnetic field disruptor may reside between the magnets and the device.

An attachable stand arrangement for a portable electronic device includes a stretchable bridle having a base attachment portion and straps extending from the base attachment portion and configured to stretch and fit over at least two corners of the portable electronic device. The attachable stand arrangement also includes a stand assembly having a base attached to the base attachment portion of the stretchable bridle, a rotatable support attached to, and rotatable relative to, the base, and a deployable stand attached to the rotatable support and pivotable with respect to the base between a stowed position and deployed positions and configured, when a portable electronic device is received by the attachable stand arrangement and the deployable stand is pivoted away from the base to at least one of the deployed positions, to support the portable electronic device on an external surface in an angled arrangement relative to the external surface.

An assembly is disclosed, the assembly for providing release structure to a lanyard or strap adapted to be worn on the body, such as a neck strap. The release structure consists of a snap button assembly configured such that the release pull generated by tension in the strap is directed along an axis perpendicular to the closure and rotation plane of the male and female portion of the snap button assemblies. With structure to configure a release pull in such an axis, a safety feature is provided to the wearer such that tension in the strap, when it reaches a sufficient force to overcome the closure forces of the snap button assembly, will release the closed snap button and allow the strap to fall away from the body. Also, as in the case of a firefighter wearing an SCBA fire mask, it prevents the firefighter from being entangled or tethered if the strap were to get accidentally hooked or caught on something. The breakaway will allow the firefighter to continue using the mask with no interruption of breathing air from the mask. In lanyards and tool holders, those fall away from the body. In the case of a firefighter, the mask does not fall away from the body.

The present disclosure provides a flotation device for ensuring that a container held within the device floats upright in water. The device is a ring with an opening to receive and securely accommodate a container. The ring is comprised of an elastic material to accommodate a variety of sizes of beverage containers and containing a plurality of buoyant inserts such that the ring forms a regular polygon shape. The ring further comprises spacers in between the buoyant inserts for ensuring that the buoyant inserts maintain approximately equidistant spacing, and the floatation device holds its regular polygon shape.

An extending gripping socket system includes an extending gripping socket attached to a base section. The extending gripping socket includes a semi-conical shape and is configured to extend and retract in relation to the base section. The base section includes a fastener section for securing the extending gripping socket system to a host electronic device. The base section further includes a charging port and an integrated wireless charger configured to provide power to and recharge the host electronic device. The extending gripping socket system provides wireless charging and an extendable hand grip for assisting a user with gripping and securely holding the host electronic device, such as a smartphone, during use.

A portable small-item storage apparatus is an apparatus that enables the user to carry various small items including, but not limited to, wet wipes, band-aids, etc., in a practical and comfortable manner. To do so, the apparatus includes a plurality of spherical containers and a plurality of treasury tags. The plurality of spherical containers includes several spherical containers arranged to store different small items. The plurality of spherical containers can be selectively opened to retrieve the items stored within the corresponding spherical container. The plurality of spherical containers can also be configured to enable the controlled dispensing of the items stored within. The plurality of treasury tags enables the arrangement of the plurality of spherical containers into a circular pattern so that the apparatus can be worn as a bracelet. The plurality of treasury tags also enables the apparatus to expand or contract to comfortably fit on the user’s arm.
