The invention includes an apparatus and method for holding a plurality of items. These methods and apparatuses have a base member including a plurality of receptacles, the receptacles configured to hold a flexible arm. The flexible arm including a distal and where the distal end has a holding element configured to hold any number of things. For example, the holding element could hold a display, a notepad, or some other item. In some embodiments, the holding element includes a clip. In other embodiments, the holding element is a USB plug or a computer display. The flexible arms can be made from a material which holds a shape. In this context, the flexible arm can be manipulated by the user to point the display in a particular direction or orientation.

Various implementations include a device for holding and supporting a medical instrument in a position. For example, the medical instrument may include a percutaneous procedure apparatus, such as a needle (e.g., biopsy needle, anesthesia needle) or needle holder. In some implementations, the device holds and supports the percutaneous procedure apparatus and liberates the procedure operator's hands from direct beam exposure, which lowers the risk of complications and radiation exposure to patients and procedure operators. The device also increases the effectiveness of the procedure by holding and supporting the apparatus in the intended position.

A holder for handheld electronic devices, such as a smartphone. The holder includes a hoop body configured to be worn around a waist of a person. The hoop body having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end and the distal end having a quick release lock to couple to the proximal end to the distal end. The hoop body having a tunnel configured around its outer periphery. A runner connected to a bracket through a semi-rigid extension. The runner, slidably received in the tunnel, can revolve along its length. The bracket can mount the handheld electronic device.

Disclosed are various examples of support assemblies comprising multiple elements engaged together and independently rotatable within or substantially parallel to a reference plane while resisting twisting, rotation, or other movement in directions other than substantially within or parallel to the reference plane. The elements typically include projecting members received within cavities of adjacent elements that are configured to allow the resulting assembly to collectively flex within, or substantially parallel to, the reference plane while resisting movement in other directions.

A mounting device comprises an adjustable receptable, a first ball head, a second ball head, a telescopic pole, and a tripod. The first and second ball heads comprise a ball in rotatable communication with a casing within which the ball is disposed. The ball of the first ball head comprises a stem projecting out of an opening in the ball casing. The stem of the first ball head is attached to a base of the adjustable receptacle. A top end of the telescopic pole is attached to a base of the ball casing of the first ball head. The ball of the second ball head comprises a stem projecting out of an opening in the ball casing. The stem of the second ball head is in communication with the bottom end of the telescopic pole. The tripod is attached to a base of the casing of the second ball head.

A dual swivel clip comprising two clips connected by a flexible elongated link having spheroid ends; one spheroid end being hollow and the other sold. When under stress, the dual swivel clip is configured to allow the hollow spheroid to separate from the clip assembly at a predictable application of force to avoid unpredictable and unsafe breaking of the dual swivel clip, thus avoiding the unintended and unsafe introduction of stay parts into the environment.
