Abstract: A Modular Handle And Stand For Electronic Devices is disclosed that aids the use of cameras, smartphones, portable music players, tablet computers, or multiple such devices used in tandem. The modular system is comprised of a handle, various accessory heads, a means of attachment, and an optional charging battery enclosed in the handle for charging the attached device(s). The modularity of the design allows the device to be easily adapted to multiple device types, as well as a plurality of devices. It allows a device to be attached to the handle with or without that device being placed within a case or enclosure, and creates the option of using the internal cavity of the handle to be used for hosting a removable battery or for storage. The invention may be used as a handle for capturing video or still images, as a multi-position stand that replaces the need to carry a standard tripod, and may be expanded with additional modules to support current and future devices and accessories.

Abstract: A currency and card holder is disclosed that employs two retention mechanisms, thereby creating both a primary and secondary means of retaining articles. The primary mechanism may be actuated with one finger to grip and release the contents of the device. The secondary mechanism enables a greater total capacity without substantially increasing the size of the device. The device is formed by a base upon which is attached a pivoting arm structure. The pivoting arm structure contains a sliding mechanism that acts as a primary means of retention against an article, or articles, with the base as a supporting member. The pivoting arm structure acts as a secondary means of retention. The secondary mechanism is engaged automatically when the primary mechanism reaches its capacity, and can also be actuated independently. The device may be employed as described, or in conjunction with an accessory container.
