Protection clip device for securing personal hand carried items

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIG.
1 is an overall perspective of our improved clip device comprised of a rigid flat platform (1), a pliable spring-action arm (2) and a slightly rearward curved hook (6) with a finger tab (3).
The flat platform (1) can be constructed of rigid metal or plastic, without or with fastening holes should screws, bolts or similiar hardware be required.
Normally double stick tape or most strong adheasives work well for fastening.
The platform (1) acts as both the main support for the entire clip and as the fastening point for attachment to a heavy object such as a table, counter, stand or to a shopping cart basket.
Firmly connected to, or moulded within, the wide end of the platform (1) is a pliable, spring-action arm which arches up, over and gently down to the opposite end to touch firmly against the flat platform with the attached rearward curved hook (6) and a finger tab (3) which protrudes out just beyond the platform and slightly curves down to accommodate the shape of a finger.
The spring-action arm in its normal closed position which is snugly pressed to the platform (1) creates an enclosed area (FIG.
6) to contain the strap or handle of the personal item being secured.
When the clip is to be used the arm (2) is raised by lifting the finger tab (3), creating an aperature for entering the item's strap or handle inside the clip's enclosed area.
Next, the finger tab (3) is released and the arm (2) springs back to its normal, closed position to secure the item by its strap or handle.
In this condition a sharp tug on the now secured item would force the strap or handle into the clip's rearward curved hook (6), not only catching the strap or handle firmly to prevent their slipping out from underneath the hook, but actually pulling the arm to press it more tightly against the platform, increasing the effectiveness of the clip.
When it becomes time to remove the item from the clip the arm (2) is raised open by pressing up on the finger tab (3) then withdrawing the strap or handle
