ABSTRACT:
A pliable support apparatus that can be hand-bent to assume various desired three-dimensional shapes to support or enclose objects in a non-slip manner. The apparatus can be used to support an appliance such as a portable music player, while allowing the user to keep his or her hands free. The apparatus forms a continuous shape and is made of pliable, resilient material that can be hand-bent to hang from exercise equipment and firmly support the music player during exercise. Alternatively, the apparatus can be hand-bent to stand freely on a flat surface and support the music player near where the user is exercising. It can be adapted as necessary to conform to and accommodate the shape of the device it is supporting, yet is rigid enough to resist deformity under the weight of the device. The apparatus features a non-slip, resilient outer surface. An optional strap is available to secure the device to the apparatus before or after bending if desired. Although the preferred embodiment is directed to use while exercising, the apparatus could be used and reused to support or hang many different objects in wider applications.
