Abstract
Apparatus for holding an article against a fabric panel, for instance on an article of clothing, including a base having a top side and a generally planar bottom side, a plurality of fabric penetrating elements extending from the bottom side, and a resilient retaining loop disposed on the top side, the resilient loop having an article engaging through slot configured to accept and releasably capture an elongate element of an article inserted through the through slot.
Claims19
An article holder, comprising:
- an outer clasp member having a top side and a bottom side and at least one outer magnet disposed on said bottom side;
- a plurality of fabric gripping points disposed around a perimeter of said outer clasp member and extending downwardly from said bottom side of said outer clasp member;
- an inner clasp member having at least one inner magnet disposed on an inner side;
- and
- a resilient retaining loop disposed on said top side of said outer clasp member, said resilient retaining loop having an article insertion slot;
- wherein affixation of said article holder to a fabric panel is accomplished by approximating said inner side of said inner clasp member to the fabric panel and said bottom side of said outer clasp member to the fabric panel opposite said inner clasp member so as to bring said outer magnet into magnetic engagement with said inner magnet and to grip the fabric panel with said fabric gripping points so as to clasp a portion of said fabric panel around an edge of said at least one magnet, thereby preventing at least lateral movement of said outer clasp member in relation to said fabric panel;
- and wherein said slot in said resilient retaining loop is sized to permit insertion of an elongate element of an article and to releasably capture and hold the elongate element until manually removed by a user.
