ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to bags, caddies, portfolios and other document carriers, and more specifically, to temporary and disposable documents holders intended to be used at a special event.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Participants to conventions, seminars, conferences or trade shows are routinely provided with advertising pamphlets, reference material, programs, outlines of lectures, and other documents. Many of those participants seldom carry appropriate means to hold those handouts in a organized and orderly manner. Unless they are sitting at a table or desk during a lecture, their handling of such documents can not only be cumbersome, but also constitute a noisy disturbance of the proceedings.
The organizers or sponsors of those types of meetings often seek recognition by providing folders and bags that prominently display their corporate logos, trademarks, or association emblems. However, those bags and folders can only endure an ephemeral use, and are soon discarded. The promotional message carried by those bags and folders have a short duration, and their early discarding not only constitutes waste of resources, but also add to the amount of trash that must be disposed of after such an event.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The principal and secondary objects of this invention are to address the aforesaid problems by providing a convenient and long-lasting document organizer that can also act as an effective advertising medium which can be conveniently and quietly used during a meeting, seminar, party, festival, concert, ballgame or other event, then optionally taken home by the participant as a gift or souvenir.
It is another object of the invention to provide a portable document or item organizer for service industries such as menu holders for restaurant.
These and other valuable objects are achieved by a portfolio having a display panel that can conveniently be secured over the back of the seat immediately in front of the user, and that has appropriately shaped and sized pockets to hold and provide easy access to documents writing instruments and other items without having to remove the portfolio from the back of the seat.
