Abstract
Description
- While driving with a group of friends to the Orange Show races, everyone was complaining about the new law in California that says we must wear a hands free device such as Blue Tooth or Jawbone to talk on our cell phones while driving. We all agreed that it is a good law but, the earpiece has a tendency to fall off at a crucial time during the call. Our driver complained that while driving her car during a cell phone call using an earpiece, she reached into the backseat and the Blue Tooth fell of into the back seat. A light bulb went off in my head and I realized if I could make a device that could clip onto my clothes and the earpiece, if it fell, I could just put it back into my ear. I went to the local craft store and made four prototypes.
- My invention is described as a leash or retaining cord to be used with hands free, blue tooth-enabled cell phone head sets. It is designed so the “Hands Free Holder” would prevent the loss or breakage of such devices when it inadvertently becomes dislodged from your ear. It is to be constructed of lightweight but tough nylon strapping or heavy ribbon (as in
FIG. 2 ), nylon cord with beads attached to the cord above the swivel-mounted spring clip (as inFIG. 1 ), chain links with charms attached to the links above the swivel-mounted spring clip (as inFIG. 3 ), or leather straps (as inFIG. 4 ). The “Hands Free Holder” would feature a swivel-mounted spring clip at the terminal end, this clip would then be attached to ones collar or clothing; and a stretchable, flexible, circular rubber eye-ring (like those used in eyeglass holders) at the proximal end, this fitting neatly, snugly and securely over the earpiece/ear set of the hands free cell phone. The cord of the “Hands Free Holder” would be offered in a variety of styles to suit a variety of consumer ages and tastes (bright colored ribbon featuring current expressions or slogans stitched in the material, with a variety of geometric patterns and fabric textures as inFIG. 2 ; varicolored beads strung on the black nylon cord version as inFIG. 1 ; trinkets and charms hanging from links of the chain-link version as inFIG. 3 ; and plain colored leather straps as inFIG. 4 . The possibilities for such ornamentation and personalization are vast enough to suggest that the “Hands Free Holder” might very well become not only a utilitarian device, but potentially a fashion accent as well.
