Benefits of technology
[0007] The present invention advantageously provides an apparatus that includes two separate but connected object-storage receptacles, where one receptacle is adapted to house a portable electronic device such as a cellular telephone and the other receptacle is adapted to house credit cards, business cards, folded bills, or similar objects. The apparatus conveniently allows the user to attach the apparatus to the user's belt, clothing, or personal item, thus providing easy access to their cell phone, as well as their credit cards, business cards or money, without the need to store each in separate compartments or in the their pockets.
[0010] In yet another aspect, a portable multi-object retention system is provided. The system includes one or more interchangeable first receptacles, where each first receptacle includes a base, a front recess portion and a rear face, where the front recess portion of each first receptacle is sized to receive and retain a least a portion of a handheld electronic device. The system also includes one or more interchangeable second receptacles. Each second receptacle includes an open end, a base, opposing sides, a front face and a rear face. Each second receptacle is sized to receive and retain one or more objects. The system further includes an engagement mechanism situated between the rear face of each first receptacle and the front face of each second receptacle. The engagement mechanism allows for removable engagement of any first receptacle with any second receptacle.
Problems solved by technology
On the other hand, consumers who carry credit cards and business cards are constantly fumbling through their wallets to pull out their cards, only to find that they are crumpled, torn or defaced.
Further, as a consumer acquires more and more business cards, credit cards and bills and adds them to their wallets, the wallets become oversized, unsightly and difficult to keep in one's pocket.
In addition, cards or bills can easily slip out of the bill-fold.
Storing credit cards, business cards, and bills in one receptacle, and a portable electronic device in another receptacle is inefficient and increases the likelihood that the user will misplace one of the receptacles or leave one of the receptacles unattended.
