Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices and methods for secured hands-free carrying and/or of use of items normally intended for use by holding in one or both hands, including personal electronic devices.
  • touch screen display that enables a user to interact directly with what is displayed.
  • Certain touch screen displays are referred to as capacitive type and require that the object contacting the display be at least partially electrically conductive so as to detect the contact.
  • a human finger tip for example, satisfies this
  • Belt clips are typically used for larger devices such as PDAs and smart phones. However, these belt clips can be bulky and cumbersome to use, and due to their position do not allow the user to see the screen of the device or use the device without first removing it from the belt.
  • Necklace cases can be used for smaller electronic devices such as portable music player, but are not practical for larger electronic devices and also require that the device be removed from the case in order to see the display and/or use the device.
  • Armbands that have heretofore been used are typically configured to carry portable music players while exercising. These armbands are generally coupled to a pocket or pouch that is sized to receive a specific type of electronic device.
  • the pouch may include a window through which an electronic device screen and an electronic device input mechanism may be viewed and manipulated by a user.
  • armband devices suffer from the disadvantage of greatly inhibiting or preventing use or control of the device, for example and in particular via a touch screen display, without first removing the device from the pouch or pocket.
  • armband devices are generally not able to be used other than on the forearm of the wearer, and even in such cases are not easily attached and unattached from the forearm of the user.
  • the gap between the window and the input mechanism may prevent the user from providing inputs to the device or detecting feedback that particular inputs were provided, e.g. the user cannot feel a click when a button is pressed.
  • the pouch used to house the electronic device is generally sized to receive only one type of electronic device. Therefore, users with multiple types of electronic devices of various sizes are forced to purchase a different armband for each device. Also, such pouch-based prior products are frequently prone to capture and retain moisture and do not have the ability to remove the item quickly and easily from the carrier while the device is still mounted to the user's arm, wrist and the like.
  • One aspect of the present invention provides devices for securing items to a supportive substrate comprising: (1) an elongated band formed into or formable into an at least partially closed loop around the supportive substrate for secure attachment to said substrate, said elongate band comprising a front side surface; and (2) a retaining band attached to or attachable to said elongate band so as to be capable of forming a channel adaptable to elastically retain said item against at least a portion of said front surface.
  • the term "substrate” is intended to refer to any part or portion of a device or thing, including preferably but not necessarily limited to the human body, to which the device is to be fastened, preferably securely, releasably and quickly.
  • the retaining band is formed at least partially from elastic material attached at two points to the front face of the elongate band, with the elasticity of said material providing at least in part the feature of having a channel of variable dimensions and providing at least a portion of the retaining force holding the item to the elongate band when the device is in use. It is also contemplated that in certain embodiments the feature of having a channel of variable dimension is provided at least in part by having one ore more attachment points along the end or portion of the retaining band, which is preferably formed at least in part from elastic material, releasably attachable at one or more attachment points along the elongate band.
  • the preferred embodiments of the present invention allow the present device to be used to secure a wide variety of items of different sizes and shapes to the elongate band, and it also permits the user to apply a wide range of retaining forces on the item, depending upon the severity of the used contemplated by the user.
  • This feature is highly advantageous, especially in combination with the preferred elongate bands of the present invention which permit the device to be secured to different sizes of substrates with a wide range of attachment forces, as explained more fully hereinafter.
  • the retaining band comprise silicone rubber, and even more preferably a band comprising at least about 50%, and even more preferably at least about 60% of silicone rubber.
