Scabbard for dual cellphones

Abstract

The basic design of the scabbard is the same for the seven different configurations that will spawn from it. The main body of the scabbard (FIG. 1) is designed to be double cell phone width, divided in the center as to provide each phone with its own separate compartment. The compartments will be divided with a sewn stitch of either zigzag or double stitch as in blue jean pants. The back of the main body section has dual belt loops that are stitched to each side approximately one half inch from the outer edge on both sides and approximately one half from the top flap fold (FIG. 2). The belt loop itself will be approximately one inch wide and approximately one and one half inches tall. This allow for a variety of belt sizes and the weight of the cell phones will always make it hang from the top of the loops. This also allow for movement of the scabbard up and down while wearing, in case the scabbard gets caught on an object while the individual is in the process of sitting or standing. The top of the back section will be designed as scabbard flaps which will fold over the top of the cell phones individually to secure them in place. The flaps will be secured to the front lower section with hook and loop Velcro or plastic luggage type clips (FIG. 3) which will be held in place by ballistic nylon straps. This design is to preclude the inadvertent dislodgment of the phones and decrease the chance of lost cell phones. This design will be altered only slightly in order to accommodate; a. Two small body cell phones with antennas. b. Two small body cell phones without antennas. c. Two large body cell phones with antennas. d. Two large body cell phones without antennas. e. One large body and one small body cell phone with antennas. f. One large body and one small body cell phone without antennas. g. A combination of any of the two types of communication devices (cellphones-pagers-pda phones-pda's-etc.)

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a scabbard for dual cell phones carried on the belt of a user, and more particular, a scabbard for conveniently carrying two / dual cell phones. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Cell phones have been in widespread use for many years and have become ubiquitous in modern society and throughout the entire world. [0003] The use of cell phones is no longer dictated by the income level of society. They are used by everyone regardless of age or income level. [0004] Most men, and some women, carry cell phones on their belt. With the demand of a business and a personal cell, many are carrying two. Sometimes, one of the belt, and, one in the pocket or purse. This is awkward and inconvenient when one has to dig through his / her pocket or purse to answer a call. Also the damage from dirt and other impurities in the pocket and purse oftentimes demands for replacement of equipment. [0005] Moreover, with cell phones, even though the ant...

Benefits of technology

[0007] Accordingly, it is the primary object of the present invention to fulfill a long-awaited need by providing a practical, efficient, low-cost and attractive scabbard for two / dual cell phones.

[0011] Viewed in another aspect, the present invention provides a method of using and carrying two / dual cell phones more efficiently, including the step of providing a scabbard, the scabbard having the main body depending on the two belt loops, and the main body portion having two openings formed therein. A pair of cell phones provided by the user, inserted into the openings of the main body portion of the scabbard, such that they are carried in a scabbard. The user's belt is subsequently threaded through the loops on the back of the main body portion, such that the scabbard is supported on the user's belt. when receiving a call on either cell phone, one unit can be removed without disturbing the other, then subsequently re-inserted into the scabbard.

Problems solved by technology

This is awkward and inconvenient when one has to dig through his / her pocket or purse to answer a call.

Also the damage from dirt and other impurities in the pocket and purse oftentimes demands for replacement of equipment.

Moreover, with cell phones, even though the antenna is retracted, the rigidity of some belt mounted cell phone clips / holders will jab into the user's ribs when seated.

This oftentimes encourages the user to remove the cell phone from his / her belt, and thus the equipment can be lost or misplaced.

While the use of various holsters for cell phones is very commonplace, no one has yet to come up with a practical, efficient, low-cost and attractive scabbard for dual / two cell phones.
