Abstract:
A solar light stick holder comprising a single wire having a first end and a second end, a first extension arm and a second extension arm, a connecting base, a first holder-loop and a second holder-loop. The first end and second end each forms a loop for holding the solar light stick. The connecting base comprises at least one screw-loop to secure the holder to a fixture.

CROSS REFERENCE 
     This application claims priority to U.S. design patent application serial number 29/370,007 filed May 26, 2010, the specification of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention features a solar light stick holder that allows for versatile display of the solar light stick at various positions on a residential or commercial property. For example, the holder of the present invention allows the solar light stick to be secured to a fence, a porch or any above ground pole or fixture, thereby allowing the solar stick to be placed in various positions, and eliminating the need to limit the use of the solar light stick to the ground only. 
     Any feature or combination of features described herein are included within the scope of the present invention provided that the features included in any such combination are not mutually inconsistent as will be apparent from the context, this specification, and the knowledge of one of ordinary skill in the art. Additional advantages and aspects of the present invention are apparent in the following detailed description and claims.

     DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     Referring now to  FIGS. 1-5 , the present invention features a solar light stick holder  100  formed from a single wire having a first end  110  and a second end  120 , a first extension arm  130  and a second extension arm  140 , a connecting base  150 , a first holder-loop  112  and a second holder-loop  114 . The single wire is shaped such that the first end  110  forms a first holder-loop  112  adapted to encircle and secure a shaft of the solar light stick. The second end  120  forms a second holder-loop  114  adapted to encircle and secure the same shaft of the solar light stick. The first holder-loop  112  and second holder-loop  114  are on parallel planes. The plane of the first holder-loop is formed, for example, by a flat piece of paper being placed onto the flat surface of the loop (i.e., the lip of the loop, or the circular rim of the loop) where the paper can sit or rest on the flat surface of the loop. That piece of paper defines the plane of the first holder-loop. The plane of the second holder-loop is similarly defined with its respective loop. 
     The diameter of the first/second holder-loop may be of any size to fit a standard shaft of a solar light stick. For example, the diameter size may be from ¾ of an inch to 2 inches. 
     The first extension arm  130  and the second extension arm  140  extend from the first holder-loop  112  and second holder-loop  114 , respectively, in the same direction towards the connecting base  150  and being parallel and on the same plane with each other and each joining the connecting base  150 . The plane where the first extension arm  130  and second extension arm  140  lie on can be formed by a piece of paper that can be placed flatly on these two arms. 
     The connecting base  150  has a section that twists around 360 degrees for the first time to form the first screw-loop  160  and then the connecting base twists around 360 degrees for the second time to form a second screw-loop  170 . The first screw-loop and second screw-loop are each on a separate plane where those planes are parallel to each other. The planes of the first or second screw-loop may be defined by a piece of paper that can be placed flatly against the lip of the loops. 
     The plane of the first screw-loop  160  and the plane of the second screw-loop  170  are perpendicular to the plane of the first extension arm  130  and second extension arm  140 ; wherein the first screw-loop and second screw-loop are configured such that when a set of screws  180  and  190  to be inserted through the first/second screw-loops, the axis of the screws  181  and  191  are parallel to the first extension arm  130  and second extension arm  140 , as shown in  FIG. 5 . Further the planes  300 / 301  of the first screw-loop  160 / 170  intersect a plane  302  that arm  140  lie on, wherein the second end  120  that forms the second holder-loop  114  also lie on plane  302  as shown in  FIG. 4 . 
     In some embodiments, a screw may be inserted through the first screw-loop/second screw-loop to secure the solar stick holder to a fence, a porch or any above ground pole or fixture, thereby allowing the solar stick to be placed in various positions, and eliminating the need to limit the use of the solar light stick to the ground only. The diameter of the first/second screw-loop may be of any size to fit a conventional screw. For example, the size may be from about ⅛ of an inch to ¼ of an inch. 
     Any wire may be used to form the solar light stick holder of the present invention, as long as the wire can firmly hold its shape. 
     Various modifications of the invention, in addition to those described herein, will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the foregoing description. Such modifications are also intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims. Each reference cited in the present application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 
     Although there has been shown and described the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications may be made thereto which do not exceed the scope of the appended claims. Therefore, the scope of the invention is only to be limited by the following claims. 
     The reference numbers recited in the below claims are solely for ease of examination of this patent application, and are exemplary, and are not intended in any way to limit the scope of the claims to the particular features having the corresponding reference numbers in the drawings.
