Magnetic Holder for Mouthstick or Tool
About
This mouthstick holder is designed to allow someone to place a mouthstick (or another tool) on the holder and then retrieve it whenever they need it again.
The holder is designed such that most smartphone mounts can be used to mount it.
Magnets are inserted inside the holder, and then a couple small magnetic objects (bobby pins, paper clips, etc) are attached to the mouthstick so it is attracted to the magnets.
Since the magnets are in a line and the holder is curved, the mouthstick snaps into place when it is placed close to the holder. This leaves it within easy reach to be retrieved for use.
