System and method for a handbag holding apparatus at restaurants

Abstract

A system and method directed to a solution to an ongoing problem that all women have when dining out, by providing a spring-loaded, temporary pole to be quickly and easily installed under a dining table, a tall bar table or the bar counter, then locked into place. It can be adjusted and removed with the same ease as installed. The pole itself is meant to be shared and can be placed between two women to accommodate their handbags. The hardware itself is designed to suspend 3 different styles of the most popular purses sold: a clutch/pocketbook, cross body purse (with a long strap) and a shoulder handbag.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A handbag securing system, the handbag securing system comprising:
 a spring loaded pole, wherein the spring loaded pole has one or more accessory mounts that have a flat surface with an aperture, wherein the flat surface extends into two convex surfaces that curve towards the spring loaded pole.   
     
     
         2 . The handbag securing system of  claim 1 , wherein the spring loaded pole has a first rod that is movable within a second rod to compress a height of the spring loaded pole. 
     
     
         3 . The handbag securing system of  claim 1 , wherein the spring loaded pole has a first rod that is movable within a second rod to extend a height of the spring loaded pole. 
     
     
         4 . The handbag securing system of  claim 2 , wherein the spring loaded pole has a locking system to lock a position of the first rod relative to the second rod.
