Abstract:
The Grasp/Portable Technology Device Handler is a tool designed to enable
easier handling/usage of portable technology devices such as tablets,
E-readers, etc., through the utilization of the four-finger gripper,
while additionally offering shock absorption for the devices should they
be accidentally be dropped, banged, etc. This manual technology is unique
due to a fusion design that not only maximizes operation-ability but
simultaneously provides much needed device protection.Claims:
1. The Grasp Portable Technology Device Handler is a utensil that
exclusively combines uniquely updated variations of prior devices to make
a product that is far superior in its durability, usability and
utilization. It is superior in operation-ability because of the
Four-Finger Hole Gripping mechanism. With no additional work or parts
necessary, the Tablet user can quickly and easily go from using her/his
Tablet in hand to using the same Tablet on top of table, desk, etc. And
finally, should the Tablet be accidently dropped the padding provided by
The Grasp Portable Technology Device Handler can act as a shook absorber
to assist in minimizing or lessening possible damage. 1. It is a one
piece utensil, where others have been multiple piece designs (hand
utensil and table-top utensil are one and the same. 2. Four-Finger Hole
Gripper allows for more secure because of individualized linger gripping
ability 3. Four-Finger Hole Gripper/Inclined Plane-Wedge is alternately a
Tablet Stand (instantly convertible into stand with no additional parts
or input needed. The user needs only remove utensil from his/her fingers
and place on table-top, etc.). 4. Entire utensil-Four-Finger-Hole
Gripper/Inclined Plane-Wedge with Straps act as shock absorber because of
design's natural Tablet coverage. (The durable material the utensil is
made of protects from all sides of the tablet.)Description:
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This portable technology device handler (The Grasp) relates to apparatuses such as the Handi-E-Holder which is an E-Reader/Tablet holder that offers utilization through a Velcro secured hand strap (Note: Could locate no class number). It also relates to the Brass Knuckle 463/47.2 because of its specialized finger-grip design. Additionally, it relates to the Assembly of a Bookstand 281/33 because of its inclined lever design.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[0002] This invention has been designed to enhance, support and impel more precise and secure usage of the Tablet. It is designed to surpass the usability of other portable technology device holders. This is achieved through the unique finger grasping capabilities of the utensil. Though the portable technology devices (Tablets, etc.) are designed for convenience, they lack necessary components that would enable their usability anywhere at any time. The fusion of simple machines (the lever and wedge, and inclined plane) and an ancient defense device easily solve the issue.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION
[0003] The Grasp Portable Technology Device Handler is a one piece Tablet holder and handler that allows the Tablet user the convenience of hand-free or hands-free usage in almost any setting. Thus the reader will see that The Grasp Portable Technology Device Handler is a utensil that exclusively combines uniquely updated variations of prior devices to make a product that is far superior in its durability, usability and utilization. It is a one piece design, where others have been multiple piece designs. It is superior in operation-ability because of the Four-Finger Hole Gripping mechanism. With no additional work or parts necessary, the Tablet user can quickly and easily go from using her/his Tablet in hand to using the same Tablet on top of table, desk, etc. And finally, should the Tablet be accidently dropped the padding provided by The Grasp Portable Technology Device Handler can act as a shock absorber to assist in minimizing or lessening possible damage
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
[0004] The Grasp Portable Technology Device Handler instead offers more precise individualized linger grip operation with built in stand and shock absorbing qualities. This portable technology device handler is a tool that enables users of various sized portable technology devices (iPads, iPad Minis, E Readers, Galaxys, Nooks, Andriods, etc.) henceforth referred to as Tablets, to utilize the devices in two distinctly different ways; by rear finger-grasping manual technology or by hands-free reclining lever operational technology without the need of additional parts or attachments.
[0005] The Grasp Portable Technology Device Handler first and foremost acts as a reversible band-holding instrument therefore allowing users, hands-free operation of their Tablets while standing (subways, buses, department/grocery stores, post offices, etc.), walking (down the hallway, down the street, to that important meeting, etc.). Whereas other Tablet holders have been designed, there designs tend to lack the efficiency and minimalist qualities of The Grasp Portable Technology Device Handler. The Grasp Portable Technology Device Handler allows the user to maintain a more secure, more firm, more deliberate grasp on the Tablet because of the four-finger-holed gripping mechanism.
[0006] The Grasp Portable Technology Device Handler also acts as a reversible stand allowing the sitting or standing Tablet user, hands-free utilization of the Tablet in the more appropriate inclined, angular position (as opposed to the flat awkward position). This allows the user to place the Tablet in an inclined position anywhere with a minimal amount of flat, level surface space. No additional parts are necessary to utilize The Grasp. The Grasp is of an asymmetrical design, wherein there is trouble-free bi-utilization,
[0007] The Grasp Portable Technology Device Handler unique design (double-sided, four-finger angled lever grasp made of sturdy plastic with sturdy plastic straps) allows shock absorption to assist in lessening possible damage from accidental drops or collisions.
DRAWING FIGURES
[0008] A reasonable Facsimile of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 1 (Front View). The Grasp Portable Technology Device Handler is designed so that the user's Tablet can be loaded onto the Grasp Portable Technology Device Handler Tablet Platform (7). Once the Velcro-end straps (3), (5), (6) wrap and clamp securely around Tablet, the user is provided individualized finger gripping ability for easy (hand-free) tablet utilization. Additionally, the design of The Grasp Portable Technology Device Handler Four-Finger-Hole Gripper (1) automatically converts the utensil into an inclined plane/wedge stand (1.1 alternate view) for easy user utilization while sitting or standing at any table, desk, etc.
Integral Parts--
[0009] a. Four-Finger Hole Gripper--allows secure hand-free utilization by device user through hand enhanced finger grasp
[0010] b. Inclined plane-wedge that grips the Tablet--allows hands-free utilization for standing/sitting portable technology user through
[0011] c. Grip Straps (connected to four-finger holed grip/inclined plane-wedge)--allows for secure utilization by holding the Tablet in place.
[0012] d. Grip Straps, Four-Finger-Hole Gripper, Inclined Plane-Wedge act as shock absorber in event the Tablet is accidently dropped.
