Non-Slip Belt Clip

Abstract

A non-slip belt clip comprises a backing, a face plate, and a clip including an internal and an external portion. The internal portion is configured to fit between the backing and the face plate and incorporating at least two cutouts such that connectors joining the backing to the face plate may pin the internal portion of the clip between the face plate and the backing in a fixed position. The two cutouts are configured such that while the connectors pass through the cutouts, the connectors are not surrounded on all sides by the internal portion of the clip.

1 . A non-slip belt clip comprising:
 a backing;   a face plate; and   a clip including an internal and an external portion, the internal portion configured to fit between the backing and the face plate and incorporating at least two cutouts such that connectors joining the backing to the face plate may pin the internal portion of the clip between the face plate and the backing in a fixed position, the at least two cutouts configured such that while the connectors pass through the cutouts, the connectors are not surrounded on all sides by the internal portion of the clip.   
     
     
         2 . The non-slip belt clip of  claim 1  wherein the external portion of the clip terminates in an inward- and upward-curving shape such that an exterior end of the clip applies pressure to an exterior wall of the backing. 
     
     
         3 . The non-slip belt clip of  claim 1  further comprising an attachment pocket for a device such that the device may be held in place when clipped to a belt. 
     
     
         4 . The non-slip belt clip of  claim 3  wherein the attachment pocket is generally a slot into which a counterpart attachment stud may be inserted when the counterpart attachment stud is held in a particular rotational position during insertion into the attachment pocket. 
     
     
         5 . The non-slip belt clip of  claim 4  further comprising the counterpart attachment stud that is generally circular including a flattened portion such that the counterpart attachment stud may only be inserted into the attachment pocket when the counterpart attachment stud is in the particular rotational position. 
     
     
         6 . The non-slip belt clip of  claim 4  wherein the face plate includes an internal guide channel such that when the counterpart attachment stud is within the hole, it must be moved downward within the hole before the counterpart attachment stud can be rotated to a position different from the particular rotational position. 
     
     
         7 . A non-slip belt clip comprising:
 a backing including at least two backing holes;   a face plate including at least two face plate holes, the at least two face plate holes corresponding to the at least two backing holes; and   a clip including an external portion and an internal portion, the internal portion configured to include at least two cutouts corresponding to the at least two face plate holes and the at least two backing holes, the at least two cutouts configured so as to enable connectors to pass through the at least two face plate holes and exiting through the at least two backing holes thereby pinning the internal portion between the connectors, when passed through the backing and the faceplate.   
     
     
         8 . The non-slip belt clip of  claim 7  wherein the external portion of the clip terminates in an inward- and upward-curving shape such that an exterior end of the clip applies pressure to an exterior wall of the backing. 
     
     
         9 . The non-slip belt clip of  claim 1  further comprising an attachment pocket for a device such that the device may be held in place when clipped to a belt. 
     
     
         10 . The non-slip belt clip of  claim 9  wherein the attachment pocket is generally a slot into which a counterpart attachment stud may be inserted when the counterpart attachment stud is held in a particular rotational position during insertion into the attachment pocket. 
     
     
         11 . The non-slip belt clip of  claim 10  further comprising the counterpart attachment stud that is generally circular including a flattened edge such that the counterpart attachment stud may only be inserted into the attachment pocket when the counterpart attachment stud is in the particular rotational position. 
     
     
         12 . The non-slip belt clip of  claim 10  wherein the face plate includes an internal guide channel such that when the counterpart attachment stud is within the hole, it must be moved downward within the hole before the counterpart attachment stud can be rotated to a position different from the particular rotational position. 
     
     
         13 . A non-slip belt clip comprising:
 a backing;   a face plate; and   a clip including an internal and an external portion, the internal portion including a horizontal narrowing near a lower end of the internal portion such that when the internal portion is placed between the backing and the face plate, two connectors, passing through the backing and the face plate placed adjacent to the narrowing fit against the sides of the internal portion thereby pinning the internal portion of the clip between the backing and the face plate in such a way that the clip is held in place between and relative to the backing and the face plate.   
     
     
         14 . The non-slip belt clip of  claim 13  wherein the external portion of the clip terminates in an inward- and upward-curving shape such that an exterior end of the clip applies pressure to an exterior wall of the backing. 
     
     
         15 . The non-slip belt clip of  claim 13  further comprising an attachment pocket for a device such that the device may be held in place when clipped to a belt. 
     
     
         16 . The non-slip belt clip of  claim 15  wherein the attachment pocket is generally a slot into which a counterpart attachment stud may be inserted when the counterpart attachment stud is held in a particular rotational position during insertion into the attachment pocket. 
     
     
         17 . The non-slip belt clip of  claim 16  further comprising the counterpart attachment stud that is generally circular including a flattened edge such that the counterpart attachment stud may only be inserted into the attachment pocket when the counterpart attachment stud is in the particular rotational position. 
     
     
         18 . The non-slip belt clip of  claim 16  wherein the face plate includes an internal guide channel such that when the counterpart attachment stud is within the hole, it must be moved downward within the hole before the counterpart attachment stud can be rotated to a position different from the particular rotational position.
