Concealed Holder

Abstract

A concealed holder is for retaining an object within a garment. An interior element having a surface with an area in the range three to thirty centimeters squared, magnetically paired with a first exterior element having a greatest linear dimension less than two centimeters, together provide configuration flexibility for minimizing, to user satisfaction, external visible evidence of the concealed object secured at an inside portion of a garment.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A concealed holder comprising:
 an interior element;   an interior element surface of the interior element, the interior element surface for being placed on an inside surface of a garment, the garment provided by a user;   a limited surface area of the interior element surface, the limited surface area between three and thirty centimeters squared;   a retainer of the interior element, the retainer for supporting an item inside the garment, the item provided by the user;   a first exterior element,   the first exterior element for being placed on an outside surface of the garment proximal the interior element surface;   magnetic interaction occurring between the first exterior element and the interior element;   a maximum linear dimension of the first exterior element, the maximum linear dimension of the first exterior element of two centimeters; and   variable visibility of the first exterior element occurring when the user varies the placement of the first exterior element in relation to the interior element surface.   
     
     
         2 . The concealed holder of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the variable visibility of the first exterior element allowing for a variable weight to be supported by the retainer.   
     
     
         3 . The concealed holder of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first exterior element is a magnet.   
     
     
         4 . The concealed holder of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the interior element is a magnet.   
     
     
         5 . The concealed holder of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first exterior element is a magnet and the second exterior element is a magnet.   
     
     
         6 . The concealed holder of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a second exterior element,   the second exterior element for being placed on the outside surface of the garment proximal the interior element surface;   magnetic interaction occurring between the second exterior element with the interior element;   a maximum linear dimension of the second exterior element, the maximum linear dimension of the second exterior element of two centimeters; and   variable visibility of the second exterior element occurring when the user varies the placement of the second exterior element in relation to the interior element surface.   
     
     
         7 . The concealed holder of  claim 6 , wherein:
 the variable visibility of the second exterior element allows for a variable weight to be supported by the retainer.   
     
     
         8 . The concealed holder of  claim 6 , wherein:
 the first exterior element is a magnet and the second exterior element is a magnet.   
     
     
         9 . The concealed holder of  claim 6 , wherein:
 the interior element is a magnet.   
     
     
         10 . The concealed holder of  claim 6 , wherein:
 the first exterior element is a magnet, the second exterior element is a magnet, and the interior element is a magnet.   
     
     
         11 . A concealed holder comprising:
 an interior element;   an interior element surface of the interior element, the interior element surface for being placed on an inside surface of a garment, the garment provided by a user;   a limited surface area of the interior element surface, the limited surface area between three and thirty centimeters squared;   a retainer of the interior element, the retainer for supporting an item inside the garment, the item provided by the user;   a first exterior element,   the first exterior element for being placed on an outside surface of the garment proximal the interior element surface;   magnetic interaction occurring between the first exterior element with the interior element;   a maximum linear dimension of the first exterior element, the maximum linear dimension of the first exterior element of two centimeters;   a second exterior element,   the second exterior element for being placed on the outside surface of the garment proximal the interior element surface;   magnetic interaction occurring between the second exterior element with the interior element;   a maximum linear dimension of the second exterior element, the maximum linear dimension of the second exterior element of two centimeters; and   variable visibility of the first exterior element and the second exterior element occurring when the user varies the placement of the first exterior element and the second exterior element in relation to the interior element surface.
