Patent ID: 8220763

Claim:
A holder for an object, comprising: (a) a frame support comprising a length of metal wire formed into an initial pre-determined essentially planar configuration, said frame support defining a central core area and three or more flaps extending therefrom and co-planar therewith, said wire having sufficient ductility so that said initial essentially planar configuration can be conformed by a user to a second configuration adapted to the shape of said object and defined by said flaps which remains in the shape of said object until reconfigured by a user, and which has sufficient strength to support said object, wherein said wire has properties which permit a user to reconfigure said second configuration to a third configuration, said third configuration selected from an essentially planar configuration and a three-dimensional configuration defined by said flaps; (b) a covering encasing said frame support, said covering comprising two layers of pliable sheet material having outer edges, said two layers adhered to each other along said outer edges, whereby said frame support is encased therebetween and whereby said covering encases the surface of said wire and provides a surface for contact with said object along said wire and interior to said flaps defined by said wire.
