DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INVENTION

[0017] All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0018] Referring to the accompanying drawings, an accessory body in accordance with the invention is shown in FIG. 1-12 and is designated generally as a body 1 with having two retaining compartments 2, 3 and a friction fit section 5 with upper 7 and lower 6 pressure points.

[0019] The body 1 is made of a rigid or flexible material such as ABS plastic or any other type of rigid or flexible plastic. Said body can be made of a foam resin such as ethylene vinyl acetate. In other embodiments of the present invention, said body can be made from an antimicrobial material.

[0020] The larger retaining compartment 2 is cylindrical in shape and can hold a variety of beverages, foods, topical creams, automobile keys, remote control devices, or to usefully retain any other object within the confines of the retaining compartment 2. Said larger retaining compartment 2 has a bottom with a plurality of apertures to facilitate venting and draining of condensation.

[0021] The smaller retaining compartment 3 is rectangular in shape with chamfered corners and can hold a variety of devices such as smart phones, reading tablets, notepads, pens, pencils, markers, pre-packaged foods, or to usefully retain any other object within the confines of the retaining compartment 3. Said smaller retaining compartment 3 has a bottom with one rectangular aperture 4 with chamfered corners. Said rectangular aperture 4 is to facilitate the use of a portable charger for electronic devices.

[0022] The friction fit section 5 is a channel dividing the large retaining compartment 2 and the small retaining compartment 3. As shown in FIG. 10-12, said friction fit section 5 is designed to slide in a downward motion over the top of a rubber handbag or carrying case 8 and rest firmly on the top rim 9 and any side of the rubber handbag or carrying case 8. As shown in FIG. 11, the body 1 is able to achieve a friction fit on the rubber handbag or carrying case 8 by use of a lower 6 and upper 7 pressure point against the rubber handbag or carrying case 8 side wall and top rim 9. Said pressure points 6, 7 provide friction between the accessory body 1 and the rubber handbag or carrying case 8. A plurality of pressure points 6, 7 within the friction fit section 5 may provide additional friction between the accessory body 1 and the rubber handbag or carrying case 8.

[0023] Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
