  • Patent number: 5511756
    Abstract: A body of materials assembled in such a way so as to provide a means of holding or suspending the device itself, and a ball mitt or glove, from a separate structure such as the fence of a dugout or ball diamond. This is achieved with the use of a strap 12, or adjustable strap 100, 102. The device has the capacity to hold a ball glove by a gripping appendage, the clip 60. The clip 60 holds the ball glove while the glove is not in use during a ball game such as during at-bats or while stored. Additionally, the device provides a means of holding a small personal item, such as a set of keys (key strap 30), simultaneously with the ball mitt or glove during a ball game. An optional secondary use allows one to store the ball mitt or glove with a ball in the pocket and hold the ball there with the use of the adjustable strap 100 or 102. This provides a way to maintain the most desirable shape of the ball mitt or glove.
