Cell phone bracelet / anklet
Abstract
This invention is a bracelet and/or anklet used to carry a cell
phone either on one's wrist or on one's ankle. The invention is
made out of a stretch material strap stitched to a stretch material
pocket where the cell phone is stored. This invention replaces the
cumbersome approach currently used by people who carry their cell
phone in a holster attached to their waist or clipped to pocket
books, articles of clothing, etc. This invention offers a new
concept in carrying a cell phone for the young and old. An easily
fastened strap with a Velcro type material on one end, and a buckle
opening on the other end, provides for a conveniently worn bracelet
or anklet. The pocket will be stitched onto the strap and fit along
the wrist or ankle for easy access and style.

Description
[0001] The subject invention is a holster bracelet/anklet which is
designed to provide a convenient means for consumers to carry cell
phones. This invention is a holster which is worn either around the
wrist or ankle of the cell phone carrier. This invention is made
from stretch material with a Velcro type closure on one side of a
strap for easy fastening through a buckle. The pocket portion will
fit various size cell phones and will be developed with either a
clear front to read the cell phone face panel, or a stretch cloth
front to cover the cell phone panel. The pocket will contain a
security strap that will keep the cell phone in place.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] This invention provides an enhanced and convenient way of
carrying cell phones. Since the beginning of the modern cell phone
era consumers have had to carry cell phones either attached someway
to their waist line, or females for the most part carried cell
phones in their pocket books. Many people find this method of
carrying cell phones too inconvenient and in many cases they lose
their cell phone. In regions where less clothing is worn or when
people are on vacation at beach resorts, night clubs, casinos,
etc., they have to carry their cell phones by hand because they
don't have enough clothing on to wear an attachment and many
females do not always carry a pocket book with them. This invention
should also appeal to the younger generation who will find this
approach to carrying cell phones very stylish. Therefore, it has
become necessary to provide the alternative this invention
provides.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
[0003] This invention provides a more convenient way of carrying a
cell phone. Specifically it provides a cell phone bracelet and
anklet.
[0004] In light of the foregoing, the primary feature and advantage
of the current invention is to provide an improved method of
carrying a cell phone via this invented dual-purpose bracelet and
anklet.
[0005] Another feature of this invention is the ease in answering
phone calls because of the proximity of the cell phone being on the
wrist or ankle, especially while in vibrate mode. It clearly would
be easier than reaching into pockets or looking through a pocket
book for a phone.
[0006] One of the aspects of this invention will also replace the
need for a wrist watch, since a cell phone could display the time
of day through the clear plastic window of the pocket. The time
could be viewed depending upon how the cell phone is placed in the
pocket or the type of cell phone being used.
[0007] The Velcro type strap design of this invention provides easy
installation and will fit various size wrists and ankles.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0024] Most cell phones today are carried in a variety of ways.
Some are placed in holsters that are fastened to belt buckles worn
at the waist, while others are simply worn in a pocket of clothing.
Ladies have the greatest challenge in carrying cell phones and
choose to fasten them to their pocket books or simply store them
within their pocket books. All these means are quite cumbersome and
don't work very well for most people.
[0025] This new invention offers a state of the art way for
carrying cell phones while also offering an easily accessible means
to use the cell phone when needed. The invention concept allows the
user an alternative choice on how they want to carry and use their
cell phone. This invention allows the user the ability to wear
their cell phone either around their wrist or around their ankle.
This new invention (cell phone bracelet/anklet) is a holster which
straps around either the wrist or ankle. The strap is made from
soft cloth and has a Velcro type strap on one end to allow for easy
installation and removal. The design of this invention includes a
pocket which fits the cell phone and locks the cell phone in place
with a secured strap. The pocket material will be made out of
either clear plastic or soft stretch material, depending on
consumer preference. The clear plastic provides a window for the
user to view their cell phone for time checks or caller
identification without taking the cell phone from the pocket.
[0026] The invention has been drawn above and illustrates the
preferred desire and benefits from the previous use of cell phone
carriers. It is understood that modifications, substitutes, and
additions may be made which are within the spirit and intent of
this invention.
