ABSTRACT:
A carrier for tennis balls includes a pocket with an open top, a retaining tab incorporating a plastic stiffening panel, and an inextensible but pliant connecting means for joining the retaining tab to the pocket near the top opening. The pocket is formed with a substantially flat back panel and a front section that tends to protrude outwardly from the back panel giving the top opening a D-shaped top edge sized to conveniently accommodate a single tennis ball. The pocket diverges in the direction away from the top opening, so that along its bottom the pocket can accommodate two tennis balls side by side. The pocket, connecting region and two cover layers of the retaining tab preferably are formed from a single piece of woven fabric. The material nap, and the plastic panel stiffness, cooperate to enhance frictional retention of the tab when the tab is inserted inside a garment, between the garment waistband and the body. When so inserted, the tab supports the pocket and its contents by suspension through the connecting region.
