Embodiment Construction

[0032]Various embodiments of the invention will now be disclosed with reference to the drawings. The components are not drawn to scale. Each of the embodiments disclosed hereinafter has a tethering device comprising a retractable line of flexible material, the end of which is attached to a universal adapter. More specifically, the tethering device comprises a flexible line having one end anchored to a reel that is rotatably mounted inside a housing. When the reel is caused to rotate in a certain direction, the extended portion of the flexible line will be wound on the reel and thereby retracted. A spring or other means can be used to cause the reel to rotate when retraction is desired. The other end of the flexible line is connected to one of the two interlockable parts of the universal adapter. The universal adapter comprises a pair of mutually interlockable adapter parts, e.g., a male adapter part having a portion that plugs into and interlocks with a female adapter part.

Abstract

A system for carrying and securing portable devices such as cellular phones, pagers, personal digital assistant (PDA) organizers, IPOD® devices, CD players, radios, digital cameras, keys, utensils or tools on a person, bicycle or vehicle. In particular, an ergonomic system for carrying and securing portable electronic devices such as cellular phones, pagers, personal digital assistant (PDA) organizers, IPOD® devices, CD players, radios, digital cameras and the like on a person in a manner that reduces stress on the human body and that prevents the device from being lost or dropped. The system allows a person to carry one or more portable devices that are secured against loss or damage, while the carrier's hands are free for other activities. The portable devices are maintained in proximity to the person's body, allowing unencumbered access to the device when desired.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to systems for carrying a portable device, e.g., a portable electronic device, on a person, bicycle or vehicle. In particular, the invention relates to systems for carrying a portable device in a manner that prevents the device from being lost or dropped.[0002]Portable electronic devices such as cellular phones, pagers, personal digital assistant (PDA) organizers, IPOD® devices, CD players, radios, digital cameras and the like have become increasingly popular. The size and weight of such devices have generally been reduced as a result of technological advance, to a point where users frequently carry one or more such devices in their pockets, in purses or bags, or clipped to their belts or other clothing. In the process of using and stowing these devices, it is not uncommon that the device slips from a user's hand and drops, often suffering damage that is expensive to repair and rendering the device inoperable o...
