Abstract
An apparatus for carrying hand held electronic and other types of devices includes a flexible substrate and a lanyard secured to the substrate. The substrate has opposite first and second surfaces and opposite first and second end portions. A layer of adhesive material is applied to at least a portion of the substrate first surface, and a protective layer of material is releasably secured to the adhesive material. When the protective layer is removed, the adhesive material is exposed such that the substrate can be secured to a device via the adhesive material. The adhesive material is intended to securely attach the substrate to the device and such that removal therefrom is difficult. The lanyard allows for the substrate and an attached device to be suspended around the neck of a user.
Claims28
An apparatus, comprising:
- a flexible substrate having opposite first and second surfaces and opposite first and second end portions, wherein a layer of adhesive material is applied to at least a portion of the substrate first surface;
- a protective layer of material releasably secured to the adhesive material which, when removed, exposes the adhesive material and allows the substrate to be secured to a housing of a hand held electronic device via the adhesive material;
- and
- a lanyard for suspending the substrate and an attached electronic device around the neck of a user, wherein the lanyard is secured to the substrate and wherein the protective layer includes one or more patterns to facilitate forming cutouts in the substrate and securing the substrate to the housing of the hand held electronic device.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a substrate having opposite first and second surfaces and opposite first and second end portions, wherein the substrate first end portion includes an attachment loop extending therefrom, and wherein a layer of adhesive material is applied to at least a portion of the substrate first surface;
- a protective layer of material releasably secured to the adhesive material which, when removed, exposes the adhesive material and allows the substrate to be secured to a housing of a hand held electronic device via the adhesive material;
- and
- a lanyard for suspending the substrate and an attached electronic device around the neck of a user, wherein the lanyard is secured to the attachment loop and wherein the protective layer includes one or more patterns to facilitate forming cutouts in the substrate and securing the substrate to the housing of the hand held electronic device.
