ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Pouches are used by students and professionals for storing a variety of loose items, such as pens, pencils, calculators, personal organizers, cell phones, keys, notepads, electronic devices and other various school supplies and business supplies. The pouches typically include an inner cavity that can be accessed by a closable opening. However, such a pouch is typically limited in the volume of items it can receive in its inner cavity. Furthermore, the items stored in a conventional pouch may be difficult to access. Accordingly, there is a need for a pouch having an easily accessible auxiliary storage space.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a pouch having an easily accessible auxiliary storage space on its outer surface. The pouch includes a cord, retention net, strap or other surface on its outer surface for receiving loose items between the cord, retention net, strap or surface and the outer surface of the pouch body. The pouch may include a stiffening element extending around its perimeter which enables the pouch to retain its shape when items are received in the auxiliary storage space. In a preferred embodiment, the invention is a pouch for receiving loose items comprising a body having an outer surface and an inner cavity and a cord located on the outer surface for trapping loose items between the cord and the outer surface. The pouch further includes a stiffening element extending substantially about the perimeter of the body.
