Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a device that allows a user to carry a container in their hand using an elastic band. The device includes a container, a band, and an attachment mechanism that connects the container to the band. This allows the user to hold the container in their hand and still use their fingers and hands freely. The device also includes a gel pack with perforations that allow the fluid to be released and a covering material that is permeable to the fluid. The user can squeeze the container to release the fluid. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a convenient and comfortable way to carry a container in the hand while still having full use of the fingers and hands."

Problems solved by technology

It may be painful and unsafe to bend over to get the bar of soap or bottle that is dropped.
Also, showers become cluttered with bottles that do not fit on the narrow shelves.

Abstract

A hand held gel pack includes a gel pack, containing a fluid; a plurality of perforations on a surface of the gel pack that allow the fluid to be released; a material covering the surface of the gel pack that is permeable to the fluid; an elastic band, adapted to wrap around a palm of a user's hand; and an attachment mechanism to releasably attach the gel pack to the band. The user may squeeze the container with the hand to release the fluid. The attachment mechanism may be a hooks-and loops attachment mechanism on a second surface of the gel pack, generally opposite the surface having the perforations.
