Abstract
An attachment loop for affixing to a handheld device. The attachment loop includes a self-adhesive base panel having a ring portion pivotally attached thereto. A segment of the ring portion is captured within a channel of the base panel. The base panel has an end profile generally matching the inside opening profile of the ring portion to permit the ring portion to lay flush against the surface of the handheld device.
Claims14
An attachment loop for affixing to a handheld device, comprising:
- a base panel having a first end and a second end, a first side and a second side, and a first face and a second face, at least one of said first and second ends having an exterior profile of curvature, and at least one of said first and second faces defining a recess formed therein;
- and
- a ring pivotally mounted to said base panel, said ring comprising a first portion captured within the recess of said base panel, and a second portion having an interior profile of curvature generally matching the exterior profile of curvature of said base panel;
- wherein the recess formed in said base panel is a channel extending across one of said first and second faces, from the first side to the second side, and wherein said base panel comprises a first layer of material comprising said first face and a second layer of material comprising said second face, said first and second layers being attached to one another, and wherein said second layer of material comprises two halves spaced a distance from one another to define the channel across said base panel.
