Abstract
Description


FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the front-right side of an attachable bistable spring for a handheld device with a bistable spring in a first position, shown attached to an illustrative handheld device;



FIG. 2 is a front view of the attachable bistable spring for a handheld device with the bistable spring in a first position, shown attached to an illustrative handheld device;



FIG. 3 is a right side view of the attachable bistable spring for a handheld device with the bistable spring in a first position, shown attached to an illustrative handheld device;



FIG. 4 is a rear view of the attachable bistable spring for a handheld device with the bistable spring in a first position, shown attached to an illustrative handheld device;



FIG. 5 is a bottom view of the attachable bistable spring for a handheld device with the bistable spring in a first position, shown attached to an illustrative handheld device;



FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the rear-left side of the attachable bistable spring for a handheld device with the bistable spring in a first position, shown unattached and separated from an illustrative handheld device;



FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the front-right side of a attachable bistable spring for a handheld device of the new design with the bistable spring in a second position, shown attached to an illustrative handheld device; and,



FIG. 8 is a right side view of the attachable bistable spring for a handheld device with the bistable spring in a second position, shown positioned on a surface and attached to an illustrative handheld device.


The broken lines shown in the drawings are for the purposes of illustrating portions of the article that form no part of the claimed design, or for showing the unclaimed environment of the article (e.g. attached to a handheld device such as a smartphone). The unshaded surfaces adjacent to and between solid line and broken line disclosure form no part of the claimed design. The claim is directed to shaded surfaces only. The left side view is a mirror image of the right side view and is therefore omitted. Additionally, the top view is a mirror image of the bottom view and is therefore omitted.


Claims
  • The ornamental design for an attachable bistable spring for a handheld device, as shown and described.
