Assistive Holder

Abstract

A tool for securing an object, such as a cell phone, to a body part, such as a wrist, of a user. The assistive holder includes a strap having a sleeve and a channel located along the strap, wherein an external clip fastener can be positioned in either the sleeve or the channel. Fasteners on either end of the strap can be attached to one another, thereby forming a loop that can encircle a wrist. In operation, the user attaches an object to an upper surface of the external clip fastener, and then removably secures the object and external clip fastener to the sleeve or channel, per the user's desired orientation of the object.

I claim: 
     
         1 ) An assistive holder, comprising:
 a strap comprising a first end, a second end, a first panel connected to a second panel;   wherein the first end and the second end each include a fastener configured to removably secure each end to one another to form a loop;   a sleeve having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the sleeve is affixed to a first edge of the first panel, and the second end of the sleeve is affixed to a second edge of the first panel, such that an opening is formed configured to receive an object therethrough;   wherein a pair of connections run perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the strap between a first opening of the sleeve and a first fastener forming a channel such that the channel extends through the first and second panel;   an external clip fastener, having a first end and a second end configured to removably secure to the sleeve or channel thereby.   
     
     
         2 ) The assistive holder of  claim 1 , wherein the second panel comprises a cushion configured to encircle a wearer's wrist. 
     
     
         3 ) The assistive holder of  claim 1 , wherein the second panel is connected to the first panel via seams. 
     
     
         4 ) The assistive holder of  claim 1 , wherein the channel is positioned such that it is between the sleeve and the second end of the strap. 
     
     
         5 ) The assistive holder of  claim 1 , wherein the channel is positioned such that it is between the sleeve and the first end of the strap. 
     
     
         6 ) The assistive holder of  claim 1 , wherein the sleeve and channel are disposed such that they are opposite the fasteners when the loop is formed. 
     
     
         7 ) The assistive holder of  claim 1 , wherein an upper surface of the external clip fastener is planar and includes an adhesive thereupon, such that it is configured to receive an object flush against the upper surface. 
     
     
         8 ) The assistive holder of  claim 1 , wherein a second end of the external clip fastener is elongated and tilted towards the upper surface of the external clip fastener, such that a tab is created, wherein the tab is configured to aid in removal and attachment of the external fastener to the strap. 
     
     
         9 ) The assistive holder of  claim 1 , wherein a lower surface of the external clip fastener comprises an indentation configured to receive a finger or thumb therein.
