Wearable pouch

Abstract

A pouch to be worn by a user for displaying a document. A display window 14 is formed by a pair of flexible panels 16 and 18 joined along or adjacent at least two edges. The display window has an opening for removably displaying a document. Both panels may be transparent, enabling the pouch to be reversible. The panels may be of sufficient flexibility and length to largely circumscribe an extremity of a user; thereby providing for the convenient viewing of a large area of an underlying document. One or more ends 22,26 of the pouch may be tapered to emulate the tapering of the underlying extremity of the user. One or more pairs of complementary attachment elements 40 and 44 are provided for securing the pouch in an observable disposition on the user's body. A foldable attachment flap 128 may be provided to extend the length of the pouch.

       8 . A wearable pouch to be worn by a user for displaying a document, said pouch comprising: 
 two nested flexible panels having four edges, said panels being affixed to said pouch along at least two of said edges so as to define a window therebetween for receiving said document; and    said nested panels are comprised of a front panel and a back panel and at least one of said panels is transparent; and    at least one of the longitudinally opposing ends of said pouch is tapered to emulate an underlying change in circumference along a length of an extremity of said user;    whereby said pouch is designed to fit the said tapered said circumference of said extremity of said user.    
   
   
       9 . The wearable pouch according to  claim 8  wherein two longitudinally opposing ends of said pouch comprise complementary attachment elements adapted to mate so as to removably secure said pouch around the circumference of a said extremity of said user.  
   
   
       10 . The wearable pouch according to  claim 8  wherein both said panels of said pouch are transparent.  
   
   
       11 . The wearable pouch according to  claim 8  comprised of a first position wherein said pouch is wrapped around an extremity of said user such that said front panel is disposed outwardly, and a second position wherein said pouch is wrapped around an extremity of said user such that said back panel is disposed outwardly;  
   
   
       12 . The wearable pouch according to  claim 8  wherein said nested panels are of sufficient flexibility and width to largely circumscribe an extremity of a said user.  
   
   
       13 . The wearable pouch according to  claim 8  wherein said opening in said window has a first closing element and an opposing complementary second closing element including such as a hook and loop system, a pressure closure, complementary longitudinal grooves and tongue, snaps, or a zipper adapted to mate so as to provide a closure mechanism for said window.  
   
   
       14 . The wearable pouch according to  claim 8  wherein said pouch is waterproof

       16 . A wearable pouch to be worn by a user for displaying a document, comprising: 
 two nested flexible panels having four edges, said panels affixed to one another along at least two of said edges so as to define a window therebetween for receiving said document; and    said nested panels are comprised of a front panel and a back panel; and the longitudinally opposed ends of said pouch are comprised of first attachment elements; and    a foldable flap comprises a complementary second attachment element affixed to and extending from at least one of said ends of said pouch;    whereby said second attachment element of said flap mates with said longitudinally said opposed end of said pouch for removably securing said pouch around the circumference of an extremity of said user.    
   
   
       17 . The wearable pouch according to  claim 16  wherein both the first side and the second side of said flap are comprised of said second attachment elements such that when said extension said flap is folded inwardly toward its adjacent said end of said pouch said flap mates with said complementary attachment element of said adjacent end of said pouch and said second side of said flap mates with the complementary said attachment element of said longitudinally opposed end of said pouch.  
   
   
       18 . The wearable pouch according to  claim 16  wherein both the first side and the second side of said flap are comprised of said second attachment elements such that when said extension said flap extends outwardly from its adjacent end of said pouch said flap mates with the complementary attachment element of said longitudinally opposed end of said pouch.
