Hands-free retractable accessory holder

Abstract

A hands-free retractable accessory holder device including a holder member, an extendible arm member, a housing unit and an attachment member. The holder member is for holding the accessory and includes a gripping mechanism for enclosing the accessory. The extendible arm member has an adjustable length and includes a plurality of non-bendable sections and a plurality of bendable sections which collectively form a support structure for extending the accessory enclosed by the holder member to a hands-free viewable position to a wearer of the device. The arm member is connected to the holder member at a distal end and is connected to a housing unit at a proximate end. The housing unit includes a cavity for receiving and storing the extendible arm member in a retracted position. The attachment member attaches the device to the wearer so that an accessory enclosed by the holder member is held by the device in a hands-free manner, and the attachment member is fixedly attached to an external surface of the housing unit.
