7. The set of self-adhering hooks according to claim 6 wherein the pivoting armature is pivotably engaged via a spring-loaded hinge to a second distal end of the second hoop armature.

8. The set of self-adhering hooks according to claim 7 wherein the pivoting armature pivots with respect to the spring-loaded hinge in order to provide temporary access to an opening that exists between the first hoop armature and the second hoop armature; wherein the opening enables the first hoop member to slide thereon, and secure to the second locking hoop member.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT

(8) The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the described embodiments of the application and uses of the described embodiments. As used herein, the word exemplary or illustrative means serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any implementation described herein as exemplary or illustrative is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other implementations. All of the implementations described below are exemplary implementations provided to enable persons skilled in the art to practice the disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the appended claims. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any expressed or implied theory presented in the preceding technical field, background, brief summary or the following detailed description.

(9) As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 6, the adhesive hooks for releasably securing an earpiece to a mobile phone 100 (hereinafter invention) generally includes a first hoop member 101 and a second locking hoop member 102. Both the first hoop member 101 and the second locking hoop member 102 are affixed to a base 103. The base 103 is further defined with an outer surface 104 that includes a layer of adhesive 105 thereon. The base 103 is further defined with an interior surface 106 from which the first hoop member 101 or the second locking hoop member 102 is affixed to and extends from. Moreover, a hoop bracket 107 is attached to the interior surface 106 of the base 103 as well as either the first hoop member 101 or the second locking hoop member 102.

(10) The first hoop member 101 and the second locking hoop member 102 each have a hoop diameter 120. The hoop diameter 120 is consistent between both the first hoop member 101 and the second locking hoop member 102. Moreover, the hoop diameter 120 is not less than 0.25 inches in diameter.

(11) The layer of adhesive 105 of the base 103 is configured to secure the base 103 to either a rear surface 201 of a smart phone 200 or to a planar surface 301 of an earpiece 300. The second locking hoop member 102 is selectively secured to the first hoop member 101 in order to secure said earpiece 300 to the smart phone 200. It shall be noted that the term smart phone 200 is being used to refer to and include all cell phones, mobile phones, PDAs, tablet computers, etc.

(12) The second locking hoop member 102 is further defined with a first hoop armature 110, a pivoting armature 111, and a second hoop armature 112. The pivoting armature 111 is pivotably engaged via a spring-loaded hinge 113 to a second distal end 114 of the second hoop armature 112. The pivoting armature 111 pivots with respect to the spring-loaded hinge 113 in order to provide temporary access to an opening 115 that exists between the first hoop armature 110 and the second hoop armature 112. The opening 115 enables the first hoop member 101 to slide thereon, and secure to the second locking hoop member 102.

(13) Referring to FIG. 6, the invention 100 can be used as depicted or in a reverse orientation. More specifically, the earpiece 300 may have the second locking hoop member 102 affixed thereto, and the smart phone 200 may have the first hoop member 101 affixed thereto. Alternatively, the earpiece 300 may have the first hoop member 101 affixed thereto, and the smart phone 200 may have the second locking hoop member 102 affixed thereto.

(14) With respect to the above description, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationship for the various components of the invention 100, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function, and the manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the invention 100.

(15) It shall be noted that those skilled in the art will readily recognize numerous adaptations and modifications which can be made to the various embodiments of the present invention which will result in an improved invention, yet all of which will fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the following claims.
