A holder for a handheld device such as a smartphone or personal digital assistant (PDA) worn securely on a wrist, that allows the device to selectively rotate to a plurality of desired positions while remaining on the wrist. The holder has a protective shell case rotatably connected to a wrist strap by a pair of interlocking assemblies. In a first embodiment, a spring assembly with a pair of tabs on the wrist strap connects to a socket assembly attached to the shell case. In a further embodiment, the socket assembly on the strap connects to the spring assembly on the case. The shell case holds the device, allowing a user to directly access and use the device single-handedly when worn on the wrist. The device rotates between portrait and landscape positions by grasping the shell case and twisting, and detaches quickly by squeezing the tabs, disengaging the interlocking assemblies.

Mounting bracket

A tension pole comprising an outer, lower pole piece and an inner, upper pole piece. The bottom of the lower pole piece and the top of the upper pole piece are provided with rubber feet. The pole pieces are telescopable to adjust the length of the tension pole. A locking mechanism is provided which further telescopes one piece relative to the other to lock the tension pole between floor and ceiling with the rubber feet absorbing at least a part of the telescopic movement due to the locking action. Locking is done by turning a handle. Also, the locking/telescoping action simultaneously frictionally engages the pole pieces together to further secure the device.

Floor to ceiling tension support pole with locking mechanism

A mounting bracket for a tension pole or other structure is provided. The bracket is provided with a spine which is fittable into a channel of a tension pole, scaffolding, or other primary support. The spine is preferably a parallelogram or a half-dovetail in section. A rotatable locking flange is provided in a break in the spine. When the locking flange is in the unlocked position, it is coaxial with the spine. When the locking flange is rotated into the locked position, the axis of the flange is orthogonal to the axis of the spine, and at least one of the ends of the flange juts out beyond the profile of the spine and behind the angled walls of the channel of the primary support. A handle is provided to facilitate rotation of the locking flange from an unlocked position to a locked position and back.
