Tether apparatus and method

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided herein that provide for a tether apparatus.

1 . A tether apparatus comprising:
 a grip strap comprising:
 a grip anchor located on a grip strap anchor point; and 
 an adjustable connector operable to releasably secure said grip strap to said first grip anchor at a grip strap connector point such that said grip strap forms a grip loop; and 
 a grip strap pad located on a first grip strap side configured to be positioned on an inner surface of said grip loop; 
   a tether coupled to said grip strap at a first tether end; and   a first anchor strap coupled to said tether at a second tether end, said first anchor strap comprising a releasable connector operable to releasably form an anchor loop.   
   
   
       2 . The tether apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said tether is adjustable by length. 
   
   
       3 . The tether apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein said tether comprises an adjustment member. 
   
   
       4 . The tether apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said grip strap and tether are coupled via an extension strap 
   
   
       5 . The tether apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein said grip strap and tether are further coupled via a ring. 
   
   
       6 . The tether apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein said grip strap and said extension strap are coupled via stitching. 
   
   
       7 . The tether apparatus of  claim 6 , a loop of said extension strap and a loop of said tether are held by said ring. 
   
   
       8 . The tether apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said tether comprises a strap. 
   
   
       9 . The tether apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said grip anchor point is located at a first grip strap end. 
   
   
       10 . The tether apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein said grip anchor comprises a ring. 
   
   
       11 . The tether apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said grip strap further comprises a second grip strap side, which comprises said adjustable connector. 
   
   
       12 . The tether apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein said adjustable connector comprises a hook-and-loop fastener. 
   
   
       13 . The tether apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein said hook-and-loop fastener comprises a length of hook fastener located adjacent to a length of loop fastener. 
   
   
       14 . The tether apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein said length of hook fastener is located at a second grip strap end. 
   
   
       15 . The tether apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said releasable connector comprises a hook-and-loop fastener. 
   
   
       16 . The tether apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein said tether further comprises a second anchor strap. 
   
   
       17 . The tether apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein said second anchor strap comprises a length of loop fastener and said first anchor strap comprises a length of hook fastener. 
   
   
       18 . The tether apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein said first anchor strap and second anchor strap are operable to form said anchor loop. 
   
   
       19 . The tether apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said grip strap and said tether are coupled perpendicularly. 
   
   
       20 . A method of a tethering a drink container with a drink container tether apparatus, the method comprising:
 forming a grip loop in a grip strap, said grip strap comprising
 a first grip anchor located on a grip strap anchor point; 
 an adjustable connector operable to releasably secure said grip strap to said first grip anchor at a grip strap connector point such that said grip strap forms said grip loop; 
 a grip strap pad located on a first grip strap side configured to be positioned on an inner surface of said grip loop; 
   positioning the drink container within said grip loop;   configuring said adjustable connector such that the drink container is held within said grip loop;   coupling a tether to an anchor object by forming an anchor loop in said tether, wherein said anchor object is positioned within said anchor loop, said tether coupled to said grip strap at a first tether end and said tether comprising an anchor strap coupled to said tether at a second tether end, said anchor strap comprising a releasable connector operable to form said anchor loop.
