DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present disclosure relates to a multi-fitting accessory device (“the device”). The device attaches to an accessory/gadget (e.g., a mobile device) and then the device may be attached to one or more objects (e.g., a finger, belt, or purse) by way of one or more fittings to anchor the accessory/gadget to the object to prevent the accessory/gadget from falling on the ground thereby preventing damage thereto. The device 10 includes multiple fittings (e.g., a ring fitting 10 a, a lasso loop 10 b, a phone case anchor 10 c, a waist line clip 10 d) for attachment to an object.
Turning to FIG. 1, the device 10 a may include a device mount 12, a ring fitting 14, and an anchor clip fitting 18. The device mount 12 attaches to an accessory/gadget, and thereby attaches the accessory/gadget to the device 10 a. The rear surface of the device mount may include an adhesive to affix the device mount to the accessory/gadget. The adhesive may include a sticky back or any other suitable adhesive material to create a permanent connection between the accessory/gadget and the device. The device mount may be configured in any suitable size. Moreover, the device mount 12 may be made from any suitable material.
The ring fitting 14 may include a metal ring or a ring made from any other suitable material. The ring fitting is configured to attach to a first object, such as, for example, a finger. The ring fitting may be affixed to the rear surface of the device mount 12 by any suitable means, such as, for example, fasteners or adhesives. The anchor clip fitting 18 is attached to the rear surface of device mount 12. The anchor clip fitting may be affixed to the rear surface of the device mount 12 by any suitable means, such as, for example, fasteners or adhesives. The anchor clip fitting 18 is configured to attached to at least one removable cord 20, (shown in FIG. 2), which may be connected to a second object (e.g., a belt loop or purse).
The at least one removable cord 20 has a pair of connectors attached to each end of the removable cord, and one of the connectors is attached to the anchor clip fitting 18 and the other connector is attached to a second object (e.g., a belt, purse, etc.). Moreover, the at least one removable cord may be implemented as a metal chain 20 a, bungee cord 20 b, or a rope shaped chain 20 c.
In another exemplary embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the device 10 b includes a lasso cord fitting 25, a tightener 27 and an anchor ring fitting 29. The lasso cord fitting 25 may be attached to an accessory/gadget (e.g., a mobile device or a mobile device casing). The anchor ring fitting 29 may be configured to attached to at least one removable cord 20, which is attached to another object (e.g., a belt loop or purse). The tightener 27 widens and narrows the lasso cord fitting 25 to a suitable size for secure attachment to the accessory/gadget.
In another exemplary embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the device 10 c includes a phone case anchor 30 including an anchor clip 32. The phone case anchor 30 attaches to an accessory/gadget (e.g., mobile device), and thereby attaches the accessory/gadget to the device 10 c. The rear surface of the phone case anchor may include an adhesive to affix the phone case anchor to the accessory/gadget. The adhesive may include a sticky back or any other suitable adhesive material to create a permanent connection between the accessory/gadget and the device. In a preferred embodiment, the phone case anchor 30 attaches directly to a rear surface of a mobile device 33 and the mobile device with the device 10 c attached thereto may then be enclosed in a mobile device casing 34. The phone case anchor may be configured in any suitable size. Moreover, the phone case anchor may be made from any suitable material. The anchor clip 32 may be “U” shaped and is configured to attach to at least one removable cord 20, (shown in FIG. 2), which may be connected to a second object (e.g., a belt loop or purse). The anchor clip 32 is configured to fit through the connector opening at the bottom of the mobile device casing. The anchor clip may be made out of braided rope. This will allow a user to manually move the anchor clip away from the connector opening to insert a cable therein.
In another exemplary embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the device 10 d includes a waist line clip 37 and a ring 39. The waist line clip is configured to attach to another object, such as, for example, a belt, a belt loop 41, a purse strap, etc. The waist line clip may be made from any suitable material. The ring 39 is configured to attach to at least one removable cord 20, (shown in FIG. 2), which may be connected to a second object (e.g., a mobile device).
Moreover, it should be understood that when an element is referred to as being “connected” or “coupled” to another element, it can be directly connected or coupled to the other element or intervening elements may be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly connected” or “directly coupled” to another element, there are no intervening elements present. Other words used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a like fashion (e.g., “between” versus “directly between,” “adjacent” versus “directly adjacent,” etc.)
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of example embodiments. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes” and/or “including,” when used herein, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and/or groups thereof.
Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which example embodiments belong. It will be further understood that terms, e.g., those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art. However, should the present disclosure give a specific meaning to a term deviating from a meaning commonly understood by one of ordinary skill, this meaning is to be taken into account in the specific context this definition is given herein.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate from the foregoing description that the broad techniques of the embodiments of the present invention may be implemented in a variety of forms. Therefore, while the embodiments of this invention have been described in connection with particular examples thereof, the true scope of the embodiments of the invention should not be so limited since other modifications will become apparent to the skilled practitioner upon a study of the drawings, specification, and following claims.
