Devices for Hanging Electronic Devices and Uses Thereof

Abstract

Provided herein are devices for attaching a portable electronic device to a user's belt. This device comprises a base plate attachable to a waist belt, a socket board comprising a groove affixed on the base plate groove onto an outer surface of the base plate, a quick release plate removably slidable into the groove, and a double security assembly for releasably locking the quick release plate in the groove. The quick plate comprises a front portion, a back portion with an opening disposed through the front and back portions and a fastener disposed through the opening. A camera or other electronic device can be attached to this device by using the fastener.

         6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein said front portion comprises a pair of wrist belt slots formed from upper and lower edges thereof. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the front portion of the quick release plate comprises a padding disposed thereon. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein said back portion of the quick release plate comprises a concave open surface at the center thereof. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein said concave open surface of the quick release plate comprises a D-ring affixed to the fastener. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said means for locking the quick release plate comprises a double security assembly having a spring-controlled push button and lever release mechanism. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 1 , said socket board and quick release plate comprise nylon plastic, aluminum alloy, zinc alloy, resins or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         12 . A device for attaching a portable electronic device to a user's waist area, comprising;
 a base plate having a front surface and a back surface forming a waist belt slot;   a socket board comprising a groove affixed onto the front surface of said base plate;   a quick release plate removably slidable into the groove and having a front portion and a concave open back portion with an opening therethrough and a fastener disposed through the opening; and   a double security assembly for releasably securing said quick release plate into said groove.   
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein said base plate comprises a nylon plastic material. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein said concave open back portion of the quick release plate comprises a D-ring affixed to the fastener. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein said quick release plate further comprises a padding disposed on the front portion thereof. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein said quick release plate and socket board comprise nylon plastic, aluminum alloy, zinc alloy, resins, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the double-security assembly comprises a spring-controlled push button and lever release mechanism. 
     
     
         18 . A system for attaching a portable electronic device to a user's waist area, comprising:
 the device of  claim 1 ;   an adapter removably affixed to the fastener disposed on the quick release plate of the device; and   a utility bag for said device, said adapter and portable electronic devices that fits on said adapter.   
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 18 , wherein said electronic device comprises a camera, smart phone, an action camera, a portable game console, or a tablet computer.
