  • Second receptacle 14 is sized to retain smaller profile items such as folded bills, cards, including but not limited to credit cards and business cards, loose change, note paper, and keys. As mentioned above, second receptacle 14 may be sized to receive and retain wider-profile items.
  • first receptacle 12 is affixed to second receptacle 14. Specifically, the back wall 20 of first receptacle 12 is joined to the front wall 18 of second receptacle 14. A connection interface piece may also be used to join the compartments.
  • the bottom portion 22 of apparatus 10 is of sufficient width (receptacle 14 has a width "A", while receptacle 12 has a width "B") to support apparatus 10 when apparatus 10 is placed on a flat surface such as a desk (FIG. 4).
  • apparatus 10 when not clipped to a user's clothing, or personal item, or held in the user's hand, may be supported on a surface in order for the user to view the time and information displayed on the face of the handheld electronic device, as shown in FIG 3.
  • a clip 24 is affixed to a back wall 26 of receptacle 14.
  • Clip 24 is spring loaded and pivots at pivot point 28, which allows the user to depress an upper portion 30 of clip 24 towards wall 26, which in turn forces a lower portion 32 of clip 24 away from back wall 26 of receptacle 14. While keeping upper portion 30 depressed, the user can attach apparatus 10 to his or her clothing, belt, purse, briefcase, or the like. Releasing upper portion 30 of clip 24 returns lower portion 32 of clip 24 to its starting point, thus securing apparatus 10 to the user's clothing or personal item.
  • the clip 24 shown in FIG. 2 is merely one type of securing apparatus that may be used to attach apparatus 10 to a user's clothing or personal item. Other types of securing devices commonly known in the art may also be used. For additional security, a chain or second clip can be used to affix apparatus 10 to the user's belt, clothing, or personal item.
  • first receptacle 12 is joined to second receptacle 14. Specifically, the back wall 20 of first receptacle 12 is connected to the front wall 18 of second receptacle 14.
  • apparatus 10 can be easily carried by hand, fit in the user's pocket, or conveniently affixed to a user's belt, clothing, purse or other personal item via clip 24 or similar securing means.
  • the thin, compact design of receptacle 14 results in apparatus 10 being relatively thin and less bulky than traditional wallets or card-carrying cases.
  • Apparatus 10 may also be placed on a substantially horizontal surface, such as a table 34, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • first receptacle 12 and second receptacle 14 have a thickness (A + B) that provides sufficient stability for apparatus 10 to be supported in a substantially upright orientation by the table as shown in FIG. 3.
  • apparatus 10 when placed on a substantially horizontal surface, can be used as a clock, to show the time displayed by the electronic device 13.

  • Spring 36 can be a tempered metal device and shaped in any manner in order to press the contents 15 of first receptacle 14 against an inner wall 38 of the receptacle. Initially, prior to any contents being inserted in receptacle 14, spring 36 presses against an inner wall 38 of second receptacle 14. The user can then slide one or more bills, cards or the like 15 between the spring 36 and the inner wall 38 that spring 36 is pressing against. The pressure exerted by spring 36 against the cards and/or bills 15 forces the cards/bills 15 against the interior wall 38 of receptacle 14. As more bills or cards 15 are inserted, the spring 36 is slightly separated from the inner wall 38 to accommodate more cards, while still maintaining pressure against the trapped cards 15. Thus, in the embodiment shown in FIG.
  • the contents 15 of receptacle 14 remain safely secured within receptacle 14 even when the user's motion (i.e., bending down, jogging, playing sports, etc.) may cause the open end of receptacle 14 to face down.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates an alternate embodiment of the invention.
  • first receptacle 12 is removably attached to second receptacle 14.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates one way that receptacle 12 may be removably affixed to receptacle 14.

  • Mounting sleeve 40 includes groove 44, which slidably receives flange 42 thus securing receptacle 14 to receptacle 12.
  • Groove 44 has a shape that is similar to the dimensions of flange 42 thus allowing flange 42 to be easily slid into the groove and retained therein, thus securing the two receptacles together. Similarly, the two receptacles can be separated by sliding flange 42 upward and disengaging it from within groove 44.
  • the attachment mechanism illustrated in FIG. 5 is merely illustrative and the invention is not limited to a particular type of attachment device.
  • this feature allows for different types of electronic device receptacles 12 to be "mixed and matched" with each object-holding receptacle 14.
  • a receptacle 12 housing a cell phone may have different dimensions than a receptacle 12 that holds a pager, a beeper, or a PDA.
  • a user may select his or her portable electronic device, i.e. their cellular telephone, and its corresponding cradle 12, and affix the cradle 12 to receptacle 14 in the manner described above, or utilizing another mounting procedure. The user may then decide to carry a PDA rather than his or her cell phone.
  • the user removes the cell phone cradle 1, which had been mounted to receptacle 14, and replaces it with a different receptacle 12, sized to receive the PDA.
  • many different cradles can be used with one object-holding receptacle 14.
  • more than one object-carrying receptacle 14 can be used with the electronic device receptacle 12. Wider or narrower receptacles 14 may be interchanged and used with electronic device receptacle 12. For example, a wider receptacle 14 may be sized to accommodate several keys on a key chain, or a larger stack of business cards.
  • the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 allows the user the freedom to interchange receptacles of different sizes, dimensions and functions, thereby allowing for the storage and transport of many different types of electronic devices in one receptacle 12 and other smaller profile items of different sizes in the other receptacle 14.
  • FIGS. 6A and 6B illustrate another embodiment of the present invention. In FIGS.
  • object fasteners 46 are affixed to a side 17 of receptacle 14.
  • Fasteners 46 can retain objects such as eyeglasses, pens, pencils, keys, PDA stylus, or the like.
  • apparatus 10 can include fasteners 46 to provide a desk-supported communication station.
