• Not applicable
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
• The related field of endeavor is Office Equipment & Office Supply
• Holder. No known product on the market. The idea was conceived after watching a friend “stuff” his tablet down his pants.
• The current method is to put a clipboard, spiral notebook, binder, laptop, tablet or an office supply of a similar shape, down on a counter, hold it under your arm, in your hand or put it away in a case. The disadvantages of the current method are misplacing it, leaving it behind, not having it quickly accessible, loss from theft, and dropping and breaking it.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
• The Tablet Tucker gives you a secure place to put your spiral bound notebook, clipboard, binder, laptop, tablet or an office supply of a similar shape. It would free up your hand and arm to give a presentation, meet with people, examine patients, work in an office, have a working lunch/dinner and still have it quickly accessible, not misplace it, have it drop, break, damaged or stolen.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING
• FIG. 1A: A front view with a side angle to see the dimensions.
• The short side is the part that goes into your pants. The larger side and the middle panel closer to the large side secures the item in between.
• FIG. 1B: A side view to see the curved shape. The short side is the part that goes into the back of your pants. The larger side and the middle panel closer to the large side secures the item in between.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
• The Tablet Tucker hooks on the back of a person's pants inside the waistband temporarily holding an item placed in it such as a clipboard, notebook or computer tablet close to your back. The person would be able to sit or walk around leaving their hands and arms free for comfort or tasks. It ensures that the item placed in it is always with you and quickly accessible.
• The universal Tablet Tucker is constructed of a durable hard plastic or metal with 2 bends to hold the unit to the pants and the Tablet Tucker to the item it would be carrying. The unit will be made thicker, thinner or smaller to accommodate different size spiral notebooks, clipboards and computer tablets.
• The first drawing FIG. 1A is the front view with the smaller side being placed in the back of the pants inside the waistband against the back until the bend touches the top of the waistband. The larger side holds and secures the item in the lower bend.
• The second drawing FIG. 1B is the side view showing the small side that is placed in the back of the pants inside the waistband against the back until the bend touches the top of the waistband. The part that is resting against the back of the pants and the bottom curve that rises vertically into the larger side both hold the item in place securely.
• This product prevents theft, breakage, loss while providing convenience and accessibility. While walking around outside, and in public places, a coat, suit jacket, pull-over sweater, or a lab coat can be worn over the Tablet Tucker. It blends in so no one would know you are carrying an item. In a controlled environment such as an office, workplace, home or a meeting, the unit is hooked onto the pants not needing to be covered.

Claims (1)

1. I claim that my product will allow someone to hold a clipboard, spiral notebook, generic computer tablet or even a small laptop computer against their back so you can do something “hands free”: Future modifications to the product will be to make it hold the above firmer or higher on your back.
