Title: Boot Stick

Description:
FIELD 
     The application relates to a device with open ends on each side to be inserted in between analogue sticks on a game controller. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Game controllers for the PS4 and Xbox have analogue sticks on each side to be moved while playing games. The material used for the device is a Lexan plastic cut to be pliable so that it can be inserted in between the analogue sticks to hold them outward to keep a player consistently in motion in the game if the player has to temporarily walk away from the game. 
     SUMMARY 
     The device is made of Lexan plastic cut to the specific measurements in  FIG. 1 . 
     The device is flat plastic shape which is pliable to withstand a short bend to insert in between analogue sticks on a game controller. 
     When the device is inserted onto a game controller, it holds the analogue sticks in an outward position. 
     The outward positions holds the character in a game in a moving position to prevent the player from being booted or kicked out of the game. 
     The character in the game will remain active while the player steps away from the game for a several minutes or a time at which the game completes. 
     The square shape on each end of the device will hold the analogue sticks of the controller and hold them in an outward position. 
     Further properties of the device in this application will be described in the detailed description

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     In the following detailed description, the device for this application will be described by the embodiments. It should be noted that this device will work with controllers for the PS4, PS3, and Xbox. 
     A first embodiment of the device  100  is illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The measurement  100  includes the end measurement moving from the beginning  105  to the end of the device  100 . The measurement shows 2.500 inches for total length of the device. The 2× shown in this measurement demonstrates 2 sides for this device. 
     A second embodiment of the device  101  is illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The measurement  101  includes the measurement of 2.250 inches for from the beginning  105  length measurement. 
     A third embodiment of the device  102  is illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The measurement  102  includes the measurement of 2.000 inches from the beginning  105  length measurement. The 2× shown in this measurement demonstrates 2 sides for this device. This also illustrates the length of the middle section of the device. This section is the pliable section that will bend while being inserted on the controller. 
     A fourth embodiment of the device  103  is illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The measurement  103  includes the measurement of 0.500 inches from the beginning  105  length measurement. The 2× shown in this measurement demonstrates 2 sides for this device. 
     A fifth embodiment of the device  104  is illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The measurement  104  includes the measurement of 0.250 inches from the beginning  105  length measurement. 
     A sixth embodiment of the device  105  is illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The measurement  105  is the beginning corner of the length of the device and shows 0 measurement. 
     A seventh embodiment of the device  106  is illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The measurement  106  is the beginning corner of the width of the device and shows 0 measurement. 
     An eight embodiment of the device  107  is illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The measurement  107  includes the measurement of 0.250 inches from the beginning  106  width measurement. The 2× shown in this measurement demonstrates 2 sides for this device. 
     A ninth embodiment of the device  108  is illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The measurement  108  includes the measurement of 0.375 inches from the beginning  106  width measurement. 
     A tenth embodiment of the device  109  is illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The measurement  109  includes the measurement of 0.625 inches from the beginning  106  width measurement. 
     An eleventh embodiment of the device  110  is illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The measurement  110  includes the measurement of 0.750 inches from the beginning  106  width measurement. The 2× shown in this measurement demonstrates 2 sides for this device. 
     A twelfth embodiment of the device  111  is illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The measurement  111  includes the measurement of 1.000 inches from the beginning  106  width measurement. The 2× shown in this measurement demonstrates 2 sides for this device.  106  through  111  demonstrate the total length of the device for both ends. 
     The present application has a specific advantage. The measurement between 103 and 102 is the pliable section that allows the device to bend to be inserted onto a controller. Once inserted onto a controller during a live game, the character will remain active so that the player can step away from the game without being removed from the game. When a player is removed from the game, they cannot easily return to the same game. 
     The device is manufactured using a hydraulic punch press with an acrylic die to press the shape using Lexan plastic material. The Lexan plastic is placed into the press, the acrylic die is placed on top of the Lexan plastic. The top of the punch press when engaged comes down onto the die punching the shape into the plastic.
