Abstract: Means of partially enclosing a bottle and providing attachment to the human hand are disclosed. A single panel of material forms the main body of the device and is arranged such that a bottle may be securely enclosed. A protruding panel integral to the main body panel accepts the insertion of multiple fingers or a portion of a human hand to allow attachment of the bottle and holder to the user without the need to continuously grip the bottle. Length adjustment of the hand attachment panel is provided in such a way that multiple hand/finger sizes and securement forces may be accommodated. The preferred material for the device allows elastic adjustment for multiple bottle sizes, provides insulation of the bottle contents and protects the hand from discomfort due to hot or cold liquid within the bottle. Surfaces of the device allow display of a graphic or message.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for an improved portable memory device. In one embodiment, a portable memory device is provided comprising a housing having a proximal opening and a distal opening. A slidable unit may be at least partially mounted in the housing. The slidable unit may comprise of a memory device slidably mounted in the housing, wherein the memory device has a data connector mounted on one end and a push button on the other end. A resilient member may be coupled to the slidable unit. Moving the slidable unit from a first position to a second position will simultaneously extend the data connector from the housing while also loading the resilient member to urge the data connector back into the housing. The portable memory device may include a latch coupled to the housing for holding the slidable unit in the second position. In the present embodiment, a user may press a release button so that the latch will allow the connector to be automatically drawn back into the housing.
