Item carrier

Abstract

An improved holder for the purpose of securing a personal portable electronic item or other personal item on a person, person's limb, waist or item to be worn. An embodiment of the invention comprises a base panel having a first end and a second end, a front surface and a back surface. The base panel comprising attachment means whereby the item carrier can be attached to a person or personal item. The item carrier further comprises a substantially stretchy ring, offset at a distance from, substantially central to, and substantially parallel to the front surface of the base panel. A plurality of containment walls extend from the periphery of the ring to the base panel defining a containment space for holding an item therein. Whereby the ring can be stretched to let the held item pass through so that it can be housed in the containment space between the ring and the base panel.

1 . An item carrier comprising: 
 a base panel having a first end and a second end, a front surface and a back surface;    said base panel comprising a strap at its first end extending substantially to its second end forming a loop for encircling a user's limb to attach the item carrier thereon;    a substantially stretchy ring, offset at a distance from, substantially central to, and substantially parallel to the front surface of the base panel;    a plurality of containment walls extending from the periphery of the ring to the base panel defining a containment space for holding an item therein;    whereby the substantially stretchy ring can stretch to let the held item pass through to be contained in the containment space between the ring and the base panel and further the ring can stretch to provide a first adjustment means so that the containment space fits a variety of different held item shapes and sizes snugly.    
   
   
       2 . The item carrier of  claim 1 , wherein the containment space has secondary adjustment means so that the item carrier can even more readily adapt to fit a variety of different held item shapes and sizes.  
   
   
       3 . The item carrier of  claim 2 , wherein the containment walls comprise said secondary adjustment means.  
   
   
       4 . The item carrier of  claim 2 , wherein the elastic ring includes cinching means which comprises said secondary adjustment means.  
   
   
       5 . The item carrier of  claim 1 , wherein the substantially stretchy ring is a somewhat short length of stretch cord attached to itself in a substantially annular fashion  
   
   
       6 . The item carrier of  claim 1 , further comprising a substantially stretchy, protective hood  
   
   
       7 . The item carrier of  claim 6 , wherein the hood and the item carrier have matable fastening means such that the hood is removable by disengaging the said matable fastening means and replaceable by engaging said matable fastening means.  
   
   
       8 . An item carrier comprising: 
 a panel having a first end and a second end, a front surface and a back surface, the base panel further comprising a strap at its first end extending substantially to its second end forming a loop for encircling a user's limb to attach the item carrier thereon;    an elastic ring attached at its perimeter to the base panel such that it is offset at a distance from, substantially central to, and substantially parallel to the front surface of the base panel defining a containment space for holding an item therein;    whereby the ring can stretch to let the held item pass through to be contained in the containment space between the ring and the base panel and further the ring can stretch to provide a first adjustment means so that the containment space fits a variety of different held item shapes and sizes snugly.    
   
   
       9 . The item carrier of  claim 8 , wherein the elastic ring is attached at its perimeter to the base panel with a plurality of containment walls.  
   
   
       10 . The item carrier of  claim 8 , wherein the elastic ring is attached at its perimeter to the base panel with a plurality of containment strips.  
   
   
       11 . The item carrier of  claim 8 , wherein the containment space has secondary adjustment means so that the item carrier can even more readily adapt to fit a variety of different held item shapes and sizes.  
   
   
       12 . The item carrier of  claim 8 , wherein the containment walls comprise secondary adjustment means so that the item carrier can even more readily adapt to fit a variety of different held item shapes and sizes.  
   
   
       13 . The item carrier of  claim 10 , wherein one or more containment strips comprise secondary adjustment means so that the item carrier can more readily adapt to fit a variety of different held item shapes and sizes.  
   
   
       14 . The item carrier of  claim 11 , wherein the elastic ring includes cinching means which comprises said secondary adjustment means.  
   
   
       15 . An item carrier comprising: 
 a base panel having a first end and a second end, a front surface and a back surface, the base panel further comprising securing means whereby the item carrier can be secured to an item to be worn;    a length of substantially stretchy cord fastened to itself such that it defines a ring, said ring being offset at a distance from, substantially central to, and substantially parallel to the front surface of the base panel;    a plurality of containment walls extending from the periphery of the ring to the base panel defining a containment space for holding an item therein;    whereby the substantially stretchy ring can stretch to let the held item pass through to be contained in the containment space between the ring and the base panel and further the ring can stretch to provide a first adjustment means so that the containment space fits a variety of different held item shapes and sizes snugly.    
   
   
       16 . The item carrier of  claim 15 , wherein the containment walls comprise a plurality of containment strips.  
   
   
       17 . The item carrier of  claim 15 , wherein the containment space has secondary adjustment means so that the item carrier can even more readily adapt to fit a variety of different held item shapes and sizes.  
   
   
       18 . The item carrier of  claim 17 , wherein the containment walls comprise said secondary adjustment means.  
   
   
       19 . The item carrier of  claim 16 , wherein the containment strips comprise secondary adjustment means so that the item carrier can even more readily adapt to fit a variety of different held item shapes and sizes.  
   
   
       20 . The item carrier of  claim 15 , wherein the elastic ring includes cinching means which comprises secondary adjusting means so that the item carrier can even more readily adapt to fit a variety of different held item shapes and sizes.
