Publication number: 20160249758Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2016Publication date: September 1, 2016Inventors: Roger Neiley, John Loftus

Publication number: 20140291967Abstract: Disclosed is a snowboard binding for coupling a snowboard boot to a snowboard. The binding includes a highback that extends upwardly from a midfoot or heel region of the binding to provide rear support for the boot. In one embodiment, the highback is formed of a plurality of modular components that each can be manufactured of a separate material to collectively provide desired structural characteristics to the highback. The attachment of the highback, its supporting elements and one or more straps to retain the boot within the binding are arranged such that certain attachment points are fixedly connected to each other and thus made to move synchronously when the position of the highback with respect to the binding's base is adjusted.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2014Publication date: October 2, 2014Inventors: Roger Neiley, Anthony Scaturro
