WEARABLE KEY STORAGE DEVICE
A wearable key storage device to be worn by a user, the wearable key storage device including a main body to store at least one vehicle key therein, a clothing fastener disposed on at least a portion of the main body to removably connect the main body to the user, and a movable connector disposed between the main body and the clothing fastener to facilitate movement of the clothing fastener in response to an application of force.
APPARATUS AND METHODOLOGY FOR BRANDING A HAIR TIE
Aspects directed towards hair ties are disclosed. In one example, a hair tie includes a branding component coupled to a substantially circular component comprising a flat surface area and comprised of elastic material. In another example, a hair tie includes a substantially circular component comprising a flat surface area and comprised of a polyester-based elastic material that includes a sublimation print. In yet another example, a method is disclosed, which includes obtaining a rectangular-shaped piece of elastic material, and printing on at least one side of the rectangular-shaped piece of elastic material via a sublimation printing technique. A first end of the rectangular-shaped piece of elastic material is then attached to a second end of the rectangular-shaped piece of elastic material to form a substantially circular component comprising a flat surface area.
MODULAR, WEARABLE, ACCESS-CONTROL MANAGEMENT AND STORAGE DEVICE
A wearable, access-control management and storage device includes a belt loop including opposed connectable ends, the belt loop being adjustable in size; a pouch module coupled to the belt loop, the pouch module including an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface of the pouch module defining a first storage compartment having an opening and the outer surface defining a front side and a back side of the pouch module; and a plurality of key holders disposed within the first storage compartment of the pouch module, each of the plurality of key holders configured to receive and hold at least one key. The back side of the pouch module includes at least one aperture configured to receive the belt loop.
PERSONAL ITEM MANAGEMENT APPARATUS
An embodiment personal item management apparatus includes a wearable band having a fixed circumference that defines a first outer diameter; and a clasp coupled to the wearable band, the clasp having a second outer diameter that is less than the first outer diameter and being adapted to couple a personal item to the wearable band. In an exemplary embodiment, the ratio of the second outer diameter to the first outer diameter is about 0.4.
WRIST-WEARABLE, SELF-STANDING PERSONAL ITEM MANAGEMENT APPARATUS
A personal item management apparatus includes a bag including opposing first and second side panels, opposing first and second end panels, and a bottom panel. In several embodiments, a first foot is formed by the bottom panel and/or the first side panel, and a second foot is formed by the bottom panel and/or the second side panel. When placed on a flat surface, the first and second feet are adapted to provide support so that the apparatus stands upright and at least a portion of the bottom panel is spaced apart from the flat surface. In several embodiments, a zipper is coupled to each of the opposing first and second side panels. A wearable band may be coupled to the zipper so that the zipper is openable and closeable by moving: the wearable band relative to the bag; and/or the bag relative to the wearable band.
DEVICES AND ACCESSORIES EMPLOYING A LIVING HINGE
A device incorporating both a magnet and a living hinge may be employed to construct cases to protect electronic devices and to function as a closure for cases and lidded containers. Such cases often can be bent three 360 allowing the cases to be either closed protecting devices therein are closed upon themselves allowing the case to function to secure an electronic device to a substrate such as an article of clothing. The devices of the disclosure can also be used to organize and hold loose items together.
Multi-Glide Locking Snap Hook Fastener
A multi-glide locking snap hook fastener is disclosed which includes a fastener body and a gate closure. The body includes a curved hook and a base, with the base including a longitudinal bore and a multipart channel extending radially into the bore. The multipart channel includes a first channel segment extending along or across a first part of the base, and a second channel segment extending along or across a second part of the base, with the second channel segment offset at a first angle from the first channel segment. The gate closure is arranged within the bore and includes an elongated shaft and a grip extending from the elongated shaft and into the multipart channel, with the gate moveable both longitudinally and rotatably within the bore. Several different closed configurations are provided, requiring several different and distinct movements to fully open the fastener.
Personal item management apparatus
An embodiment personal item management apparatus includes a wearable band having a fixed circumference that defines a first outer diameter; and a clasp coupled to the wearable band, the clasp having a second outer diameter that is less than the first outer diameter and being adapted to couple a personal item to the wearable band. In an exemplary embodiment, the ratio of the second outer diameter to the first outer diameter is about 0.4.
Apparatus for securing mobile devices to a belt
An apparatus for securing mobile devices to a belt are presented. The invention has a receiver coupled to a belt, e.g. utility belt. The receiver is a stud of a one-way fastener coupled to the belt with a post. A clip with a socket of the one-way fastener is removably couplable to the receiver. The clip is made of a flexible member with a grip section on one side of said socket and a lanyard section on an opposing side of the socket. The grip section is configured for a user to grip and pull to disengage the clip from the receiver. A lanyard is coupled to the clip through a hole in the lanyard section and secured with a nut. A mobile device is removably coupled to the other end of the lanyard and also secured with a similar type nut.
