Abstract
An article retaining device having a first loop that can be elongated, a hook, an elastic second loop, and an elastic third loop. The hook joined to the first loop. The elastic second loop is joined to the first loop and to the hook. The elastic third loop joined to the first loop. The first, second, and third loops may be arranged around an article.
Claims15
An article retaining device, comprising:
- an elongated first loop comprising a first end and a second end;
- a hook joined to the first loop at the second end;
- an elastic second loop joined to the first loop and to the hook;
- and,
- an elastic third loop joined to the first loop;
- the second loop is joined to the first loop by a first loop-to-loop connection;
- the third loop is joined to the first loop by a second loop-to-loop connection;
- and,
- a portion of the second loop extends through a loop opening of the first loop from a backside to a face side of the first loop to form the first loop-to-loop connection, and wherein a portion of the third loop extends through the loop opening of the first loop from the face side to the backside of the first loop to form the second loop-to-loop connection.

A phone holder, comprising
- an elongated first loop configured to receive a phone;
- a connection implement joined to the first loop;
- an elastic second loop joined the first loop with a first loop-to-loop connection;
- an elastic third loop joined to the first loop with a second loop-to-loop connection;
- the first loop and the second loop are connected to the connection implement;
- the second loop and the third loop are configured to extend around and grip the phone;
- and,
- a portion of the second loop extends through a loop opening of the first loop from a backside to a face side of the first loop to form the first loop-to-loop connection, and wherein a portion of the third loop extends through the loop opening of the first loop from the face side to the backside of the first loop to form the second loop-to-loop connection.
5 more elements
A method of connecting an article, comprising the steps of:
- joining an elastic second loop to an elongated first loop by interlocking the second loop to the first loop wherein drawing the first or second loop away from an other of the first or second loops causes a connection between the first and second loop to tighten;
- joining an elastic third loop to the first loop;
- joining a hook to the first loop and the second loop;
- placing the article within the first loop;
- stretching the second loop around the article;
- stretching the third loop around the article;
- and,
- connecting the hook to an external object to join the article to the external object.
