Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a cellular phone holder.
More particularly, the present invention relates to a cellular
phone holder having a novel attachment means.
[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art
[0004] Numerous innovations for cell phone holders have been
provided in the prior art that are described as follows. Even
though these innovations may be suitable for the specific
individual purposes to which they address, they differ from the
present invention as hereinafter contrasted.
[0005] In U.S. Pat. No. 5,850,954, by inventor, Dong-Joo, Titled,
Holder assembly for cellular phones, a holder assembly for cellular
phones is disclosed. The holder assembly allows a cellular phone to
be smoothly rotated around a holding button in either direction
when a user, having the phone on his belt, is seated and presses
against the top end of the phone. Therefore, the holder assembly
allows the phone to be almost free from pressing against a user's
body when the user is seated. The holder assembly overloads or
tensions neither the clip of the holder nor a user's belt, thereby
allowing the clip to be free from being deformed and the user's
belt to be free from being unexpectedly torn. The holding button
may be attached to a cellular phone or a phone case.
[0006] In U.S. Pat. No. 3,990,617, by inventor, Carter, Titled,
Belt radio clip, a clip-on carrying device for portable personal
radios, particularly a radio of the two-way type conventionally
used by police officers, firemen and the like. The carrying device
includes a first radio receiving portion to which is attached an
elongated belt receiving member having a hook-like portion formed
thereon to prevent accidental removal of the clip from the belt.
The radio receiving portion frictionally engages the outer case of
the radio to securely hold the radio therein yet allowing easy
removal of the radio when desired.
[0007] In U.S. Pat. No. 3,956,701, by inventor, James, Jr., et al.,
Titled, Personal paging receiver with swivel clip and distributed
antenna, a personal paging device is housed in a case which has one
dimension (length) longer than its width or thickness, and a clip
is affixed to a side on a swivel between the ends of the length
dimension, which allows the device to be worn on the person in a
vertical or a horizontal posture. A radio receiving antenna is
carried on a flexible dielectric sheet within the casing, and radio
components are enclosed within that sheet. A pair of
orthogonally-related antenna loops can be provided on the
dielectric sheet. The swivel clip can be arranged to cooperate with
these or other antennas in a circular-polarization antenna system,
such that in one orientation one or the other of the antennas will
be detuned.
[0008] The patented inventions differ from the present invention
because the patented inventions lack one or more of the following
features: cellular phone holder with strap having an optional clip
and belt clip attached to a distal end of the strap.
[0009] Numerous innovations for cell phone holders have been
provided in the prior art that are adapted to be used. Even though
these innovations may be suitable for the specific individual
purposes to which they address, they would not be suitable for the
purposes of the present invention as heretofore described.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0010] The present invention relates to a cellular phone holder.
More particularly, the present invention relates to a cellular
phone holder having a novel attachment means.
[0011] The types of problems encountered in the prior art are cell
phone holders clip onto the belt utilizing rigid means but are not
versatile.
[0012] In the prior art, unsuccessful attempts to solve this
problem were attempted namely: belt clips on case or removable belt
clips attached to cell phone. However, the problem was solved by
the present invention because utilizes a novel attachment
means.
[0013] Innovations within the prior art are rapidly being exploited
in the field of cellular phone accessories.
[0014] The present invention went contrary to the teaching of the
art which describes and claims belt clips and holders.
[0015] The present invention solved a long felt need for a secure
versatile cell phone holder.
[0016] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to
provide an envelope, fastener, strap, and clip.
[0017] More particularly, it is an object of the present invention
to provide the fastener having a female fastener and a male
fastener.
[0018] In keeping with these objects, and with others which will
become apparent hereinafter, one feature of the present invention
resides, briefly stated, in the strap being a first strap or a
second strap.
[0019] When the clip is designed in accordance with the present
invention, it has a first clip or a second clip.
[0020] In accordance with another feature of the present invention,
the first clip has a first clip loop and a first clip lever.
[0021] Another feature of the present invention is that the second
clip has a second clip loop, second clip lever, second clip ring,
and second clip shaft.
[0022] Yet another feature of the present invention is that the
device may optionally have an upper holder and lower holder.
[0023] The novel features which are considered characteristic for
the invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention
itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of
operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof,
will be best understood from the following description of the
specific embodiments when read and understood in connection with
the accompanying drawings.
