ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to pouches and more particularly pertains to a new device for holding a pouch against a wrist for holding a pouch with the aid of a watch band.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of pouches is known in the prior art. More specifically, pouches heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior art includes U.S. Pat. No. 5,341,972; U.S. Pat. No. 4,341,331; U.S. Pat. No. 2,352,473; U.S. Pat. No. 4,781,315; U.S. Pat. No. 5,636,775; and U.S. Pat. No. Des. 46,889.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new device for holding a pouch against a wrist. The inventive device includes a pouch. The pouch comprises a panel. The panel is L-shaped and has a long portion and short portion. The panel has a front side and a back side. A first securing strip is fixedly coupled to the back side of the short portion of the panel. The first securing strip has a securing means attached thereon. A second securing strip is fixedly coupled to the front side of the long portion of the panel. The second securing strip is located generally at a middle section of the long portion of the panel. The second securing strip has a securing means thereon adapted to secure the first securing strip to the second securing strip. A third securing strip has a distal portion and a proximal portion. The proximal portion of the strip is fixedly coupled generally adjacent to the second securing strip. The third securing strip has a longitudinal axis orientated substantially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the long portion of the panel. The distal portion of the third securing strip has a front surface and a back surface. The front and back surfaces of the third securing strip has a hook and loop securing means located thereon.
In these respects, the device for holding a pouch against a wrist according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of holding a pouch with the aid of a watch band.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of pouches now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new device for holding a pouch against a wrist construction wherein the same can be utilized for holding a pouch with the aid of a watch band.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new device for holding a pouch against a wrist apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the pouches mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new device for holding a pouch against a wrist which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art pouches, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention generally comprises a pouch. The pouch comprises a panel. The panel is L-shaped and has a long portion and short portion. The panel has a front side and a back side. A first securing strip is fixedly coupled to the back side of the short portion of the panel. The first securing strip has a securing means attached thereon. A second securing strip is fixedly coupled to the front side of the long portion of the panel. The second securing strip is located generally at a middle section of the long portion of the panel. The second securing strip has a securing means thereon adapted to secure the first securing strip to the second securing strip. A third securing strip has a distal portion and a proximal portion. The proximal portion of the strip is fixedly coupled generally adjacent to the second securing strip. The third securing strip has a longitudinal axis orientated substantially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the long portion of the panel. The distal portion of the third securing strip has a front surface and a back surface. The front and back surfaces of the third securing strip has a hook and loop securing means located thereon.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new device for holding a pouch against a wrist apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the pouches mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new device for holding a pouch against a wrist which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art pouches, either alone or in any combination thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new device for holding a pouch against a wrist which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new device for holding a pouch against a wrist which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new device for holding a pouch against a wrist which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such device for holding a pouch against a wrist economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new device for holding a pouch against a wrist which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new device for holding a pouch against a wrist for holding a pouch with the aid of a watch band.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new device for holdi
