CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/639,655, filed on Apr. 28, 2024, the contents of which are here in incorporated by reference in its entirety

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Mobile phones have become an integral part of human life. Mobile phones provide you with the flexibility to have data and calling features along with thousands of other applications in day-to-day life. With such high importance, it also becomes very important to ensure our hand is not always occupied holding the phone while having it accessible all the time. Prior to this invention, people had option to attach adhesive based accessories & other miscellaneous type of accessories to make it easier to hold phone, but that again required one hand to be occupied while holding it or didn't allow phone to be detached from holder quickly without taking it out of protective phone case. There are some phone cases with chains to turn it into purse, but that is too much to carry just for phone and also not preferred widely. Some products allow you to use strap, but they are difficult to use due to their bulkiness and inconvenience to pull phone out of it.

This product solves the above problems by allowing you to mount the phone with phone case on the wrist with a wrist strap, pull it out and put it back swiftly with its button mechanism. Also, it solves the problem of having a separate stand for phone to be rested on surface to watch screen without having to hold the phone. The wrist strap itself allows it to be rested at an angle comfortable for watching screen horizontally or vertically while it's resting on the surface.

This resulted in the idea of having a phone on the wrist that allows you to quickly check, detach if needed and rest vertically or horizontally on the surface based on requirement. It solves multiple day-to-day problems related to phone handling.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to phone accessories. It helps carry the phone on wrist without having to hold it all the time and at the same time, detachable feature allows the phone to be used without strap band. It can also be used as a stand for the phone to rest on a flat surface at an angle allowing one to watch & operate the phone without having to hold the phone.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The phone mounting device consists of a wristband and phone case which can be detached and attached with stud and socket mechanism of a metal/plastic button respectively.

Phone cases can be made up of different types of materials like plastic, fiber, metal, silicon, leather and can be of various sizes to fit a respective phone model. The phone is equipped with socket part of a button.

Wrist strap, which is metal snap strap, which forms the structural backbone of the device equipped with. The snap strap is constructed from a durable metal core, ensuring strength and flexibility, and is encased in a layer of silicon or similar material to provide a non-slip, skin-friendly surface.

The snap strap utilizes a spring-loaded mechanism that enables it to securely wrap around the user's wrist when not in use. This design ensures a snug fit while preventing discomfort during extended wear. The silicon or other outer covering material is selected for its resistance to wear, tear, and environmental conditions, ensuring long-term durability and comfort.

Additionally, the strap & phone incorporate an integrated button mechanism that allows for quick detachment and reattachment of the phone. The phone holder is designed to rotate and lock into various angles, enabling stable horizontal or vertical positioning on wrist as well as surface to view the phone at different angles.

This invention combines ergonomic design, material innovation, and versatile functionality to provide a compact, efficient solution for hands-free phone use, quick accessibility, and viewing convenience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Phone case with wrist strap that snaps and allows the phone to be operated from wrist top, can be detached and attached from wrist strap and with the strap can also be used for resting on a surface to watch it both vertical and horizontal at resting angle.

There are mainly 3 parts.

Part 1—Snap wrist strap (Consisting of metal core strip and outer covering consisting of A soft, flexible material that covers the steel strip for comfort and safety like silicone, rubber, fabric but not limited to.

Part 2—Phone case (Can be silicon, plastic, metal, leather or other sturdy material)

Part 3—Attachment button with socket part mounted on phone and stud part mounted on wrist strap (can be metal/plastic/silicon)

FIG. 1 (FIG. 1) illustrates the parts of this invention. Part 1.1 is the upper covering layer of the strap. Part 1.2 is metal core of the strap which allows it to resume shape and wrap around with a snap. Part 1.3 is bottom silicon layer of the strap which touches the human wrist when worn around wrist. 1.4 illustrates phone case with inside view. Part 1.5 illustrates the button part installed on the cover. Part 1.6 illustrates the button part called stud, on wrist strap.

FIG. 2 illustrates the phone and wrist strap's side view. 2.1 illustrates the phone and 2.3 illustrates the wrist strap. 2.2 illustrates the button click mechanism using stud and socket which helps to connect the phone to the wrist strap. 2.4 illustrates the surface. This kind of resting mechanism allows people to watch and operate the screen hands free by putting it on surface.
