Abstract: A holder is provided for arrangement of small goods which includes: at least one pipe member with open opposite ends; at least one expandable/contractible curled cord which is substantially equal in length to the pipe member when the curled cord is in a contracted state, wherein the curled cord is received in the inside of the pipe member; holding rings for holding small goods, wherein the holding rings are attached at both ends of the curled cord so that the holding rings are located at both ends of the pipe member, respectively, and each of the holding rings have an outer diameter which is larger than an inner diameter of the pipe member; and an attachment member for attachment of the holder to external matter, wherein the attachment member is fixed to the pipe member.

Abstract: An apparatus configured for mounting a casino issued slot club member card. The apparatus includes a card mount backing surface having side and bottom card lip retaining elements and an attached stretchable elongated coil member having a swivel mounted normally closed openable end piece. By opening this end piece, a slot card can be mounted to the piece through a preexisting hole in the card. The card mount has an upper back safety pin with a swivel connection used to attach the mount to a user's clothing.

Abstract: A shock absorbing shoulder strap for use in carrying bags and other items over one's shoulder which is particularly suitable for use on golf bags to absorb the shock of the rising and falling of the bag and its contents on the carrier's shoulder to prevent fatigue. The shoulder strap includes an inelastic body portion adapted to rest on the carrier's shoulder, a first adjustable elastic strap secured to one end of the body portion, a second adjustable elastic strap secured to the other end of the body portion, and releasable snap buckles carried by the elastic straps for securing the shoulder strap to the bag. As the bag and its contents rise and fall on the carrier's shoulder, the elastic straps contract and expand, absorbing a significant portion of the resulting shock which would otherwise be transmitted directly to the carrier's shoulder. By adjusting the effective length of the elastic straps through buckles carried thereby, the elasticity and length of the shoulder strap can independently varied.

Abstract: The present invention provides a shoulder strap assembly that includes a padded strap member secured to a functional sub-assembly having a plurality of straps comprised of elastic material and at least one strap of inelastic material wherein the elastic straps may be of variable length thereby providing graduated resistance to reduce the bouncing action over a range of loads and wherein the inelastic strap is the load bearing strap included to provide primary support for the load when the elastic straps have reached their maximum length.

Abstract: A belt-attachable holder for a fishing rod is provided. An upper portion forms an integral belt-attaching means. A lower portion is suspended from the upper portion and includes a substantially stiff planar member. A coil is provided to have at least one full turn sized to receive the fishing rod when the coil is in a relaxed state. The coil has first and second ends that are fixed to the stiff planar member. A sleeve of flexible material is open at a top portion thereof and is sized at the top portion to receive the fishing rod. The sleeve terminates at a substantially closed bottom maintained in a fixed relationship to the lower portion a vertical distance below the coil. The top portion has its perimeter aligned with and supported by the one full turn of the coil such that the fishing rod can be inserted into the sleeve through the top portion and the one full turn. The weight of the fishing rod causes the one full turn of the coil to tighten around the fishing rod along with the top portion of the sleeve.

Abstract: A soap dispenser and support combination to be worn around a person's neck to allow dispensing of soap over the person's entire body. The combination includes a mesh soap container having an opening in a top surface thereof, the top surface opening being bordered by elastic for insertion and removal of soap. A stretchable strap formed in a partial loop is attached to the soap container. The strap has a sufficient stretchability so that the person can grasp the soap container and stretch the strap while the strap remains around the neck of the person and touch any portion of the person's body with the soap container.

Abstract: A tool wrist strap having a band, a looped cord and a clench bead on the cord. The band is made of a flexible elastic fabric material and formed by an elongated strip having opposite ends attached together. The band is preferably adapted to fit loosely about a person's wrist. The looped cord is composed of flexible inelastic material and has a looped end portion and a pair of opposite ends attached to the band adjacent to one another. The clench bead is slidable on the looped cord and produces sufficient friction therewith to hold the bead in any given position along the cord. The bead can be slidably moved by a person's hand in opposing directions away from and toward the looped end portion of the cord for respectively untightening and tightening the looped end portion in a noose-like configuration about a portion of a tool.

Abstract: A camera hold steady strap composed of elastic stretch fabric having a certain amount of "give" which acts as a shock absorber when a hook having a base pivoted to the lower end of an adjustable loop formed by a portion of the strap is connected to the user's belt with the so pivoted base of the hook located behind and slightly above the top of such belt. Thus, when the strap is looped over the belt top, as when the camera falls or depends below the belt, or the camera is pulled away from the user by a camera snatcher, the hook is locked on the belt by the strap overlapping the belt top. The strap also serves as an elastic hold down link to the user's belt, for the camera, when carried by the user's camera neck strap; so that the "give" in the elastic stretch fabric permits the user to jog, etc. without damaging the camera. The "give" in the strap also enables the user to take pictures with the camera either horizontal or vertical without having to adjust the strap length.
