Abstract
A holder for a mobile telephone headset includes a base and arm members extending outwardly from the base with a receiving member attached to ends of the arm members. The receiving member includes spaced apart upright members forming a gap for loosely receiving an ear bud of the mobile telephone headset. A clip may be removably attached to the base for removably securing the holder to a support structure within a motor vehicle. The holder further includes illumination for locating it or the headset in a darkened environment. Yet further, the arm members are spaced apart to form an opening sufficient for receiving an ear hook of the headset, the holder thus providing ease for a user to safely store the mobile telephone headset.
Claims28
A holder for a mobile telephone headset, the headset having at least one of an ear bud and an ear hook extending from a body thereof, the holder comprising:
- a base having a first surface and an opposing second surface;
- first and second arm members extending outwardly from the base, the first and second arm members having proximal and opposing distal ends, wherein the proximal ends are affixed to the first surface of the base, and wherein the first arm member is spaced from the second arm member so as to form an opening therebetween;
- a receiving member attached to the distal ends of the first and second arm members so as to be in a spaced relation to the first surface of the base, the receiving member having opposing first and second upright members forming a gap therebetween dimensioned for loosely receiving the ear bud of the mobile telephone headset within said gap and said opening;
- attachment means carried on the second surface of the base;
- and
- an attachment member removably connected to the attachment means for removably securing the holder to a support structure.
A mobile telephone headset holding system comprising:
- a headset having at least one of an ear bud and an ear hook extending from a body thereof, the ear bud having a generally bulbous shaped portion and a post extending therefrom connecting the ear bud to the body;
- and
- a holder carrying the headset, the holder comprising:
- a base having a first surface and an opposing second surface;
- first and second arm members extending outwardly from the base, the first and second arm members having proximal and opposing distal ends, wherein the proximal ends are affixed to the first surface of the base, and wherein the first arm member is spaced from the second arm member so as to form an opening therebetween;
- and
- a receiving member attached to the distal ends of the first and second arm members so as to be in a spaced relation to the first surface of the base, the receiving member having opposing first and second upright members forming a gap therebetween dimensioned for loosely receiving the ear bud of the mobile telephone headset within said gap and said opening,
- wherein the headset is carried by the holder by at least one of the post positioned within the gap and the bulbous shaped portion of the ear bud positioned between the receiving member and the base, and the ear hook carried between the base and the receiving member.
A holder comprising:
- a base having a first surface and an opposing second surface;
- first and second arm members extending outwardly from the base, the first and second arm members having proximal and opposing distal ends, wherein the proximal ends are affixed to the first surface of the base, and wherein the first arm member is spaced from the second arm member so as to form an opening therebetween;
- a receiving member attached to the distal ends of the first and second arm members so as to be in a spaced relation to the first surface of the base, the receiving member having opposing first and second upright members forming a gap therebetween dimensioned for loosely receiving an ear bud of a mobile telephone headset with said gap and said opening;
- an attachment member removably connected to the base for removably securing the holder to a support structure.
