Abstract
A fabric or other suitable, flexible material is cut, sewn and furnished with joinable hook and loop fastener portions to become a re-sizable pouch which itself envelopes the rearward portion of a foot operated pedal, preventing the undesirable movement of the pedal from the desired location of operation during use. A base portion of the pouch is fitted with joinable hook type fasteners on the posterior section of the base. The re-sizable pouch is then affixed with joinable hook type fasteners, attached to the posterior section of the base, to a secured portion of loop type material.
Claims3
Apparatus (10) forming a resizable pouch that envelops a rearward portion of a foot-operated pedal (50) for preventing undesirable movement of the foot-operated pedal (50) during use while not impeding the use thereof having an integral arrangement comprising:
- a fabric base (20) upon which the foot-operated pedal (50) rests, the base (20) having a first side (20A) and a second side (20B);
- a first side panel (25) extending from the first side (20A) of the base (20) to form a flap (25) which is lifted up to embrace a side of the foot-operated pedal (50), the flap (25) having upon its posterior portion a section of joinable loop fasteners (26, FIG. 2), the first side panel (25) having a rearward portion, a strap (40, FIG. 2) attached to the rearward portion of the first side panel (25), which passes behind a rearward portion of the foot-operated pedal (50, FIGS. 3 and 4), and which attaches by means of first joinable hook fasteners (42, FIG. 2) to a second side panel (30) extending from the second side (20B) of the base (20), the second side panel (30) extending over the foot-operated pedal (50) to form the strap (40, FIGS. 3 and 4) and affixes by means of second joinable hook fasteners (31) to the section of joinable loop fasteners (26) present on the posterior portion of the first side panel (25);
- another two strips of joinable hook fasteners (21 and 22) attached underneath the base (20) of the apparatus which secure the apparatus (10) to a stabilized base (SB, FIGS. 3 and 4) that has a loop material to which the two strips of joinable hook fasteners (21 and 22) may grab.
