System and method for conveniently carrying a wireless headset or similar device

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a system and method for conveniently carrying an electronic device with an earpiece comprising stretching a flexible holding enclosure over the earpiece and then releasing it so that maintains the position of the electronic device and an associated attachment mechanism.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A system for conveniently carrying an electronic device with an earpiece comprising:
 an attachment mechanism;   a holding enclosure;   said holding enclosure is stretchable and is designed such that it is capable of being stretched over said earpiece and once stretched over said earpiece said holding enclosure is designed to contract such that said holding enclosure maintains said electronic device in position.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said attachment mechanism has the ability to open and close in order to allow objects to be inserted onto it. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2  wherein said attachment mechanism is a split key ring. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said attachment mechanism is integrated with said holding enclosure into a single piece. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4  further including a secondary attachment mechanism. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 4  wherein said attachment mechanism and said holding enclosure both have openings and said openings both face in the same direction. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 4  wherein said opening of said attachment mechanism and said holding enclosure are oriented at angle to one another. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8  wherein said the angle is perpendicular. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1  further including a pull-tab, which is capable of being grasped and designed to be used as an aid in stretching said holding enclosure. 
     
     
         11 . A method for conveniently carrying an electronic device with an earpiece comprising stretching a holding enclosure over the top of said earpiece and then releasing it, wherein said holding enclosure contracts such that said holding enclosure maintains said electronic device in position. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11  where said holding enclosure includes an attachment mechanism. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12  wherein said attachment mechanism is open and closed and objects are inserted and removed from it. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein said attachment mechanism is a split key ring. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 12  wherein said attachment mechanism is integrated with said holding enclosure into a single piece. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 12  further including inserting a secondary attachment mechanism though said attachment mechanism. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 15  wherein said attachment mechanism and said holding enclosure both have openings and said openings both face in the same direction. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 15  wherein said opening of said attachment mechanism and said holding enclosure are oriented at angle to one another. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18  wherein said the angle is perpendicular. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said stretching of said holding enclosure is accomplished by grasping and then pulling on a pull-tab.
