Abstract

An apparatus for carrying flying discs in such a way that the apparatus does not interfere with the selection and throwing of the flying discs. In one embodiment, a flying disc caddy includes a holster, a belt, and a strap. The holster includes a pouch and dividers. The dividers are spaced apart inside the pouch to form pockets or slots. The pockets receive individual flying discs. The holster is slideably attached to a belt. The belt is configured to wrap around the waist of a disc golf player. The belt secures the holster such that the opening of the holster is aligned to the waist. The holster is also attached to a strap. The strap is configured to wrap around the thigh of a disc golf player. The strap secures the lower end of the pouch to the thigh such that the pouch does not flail during play.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An apparatus for carrying a plurality of flying discs, said apparatus comprising:
 a pouch having a first end defining an opening, said pouch including a second end having a base, said second end opposite said first end, said pouch having a back panel between said first and second ends;   a first wall located within said pouch, said first wall substantially parallel to said back panel, said first wall spaced apart from said back panel defining a first slot, said first slot dimensioned and configured to receive one of said plurality of flying discs;   a second wall substantially parallel to said first wall, said second wall spaced apart from said first wall defining a second slot, said second slot dimensioned and configured to receive one of said plurality of flying discs;   a first support device attached to said back panel adjacent said first end of said pouch, said first support device including a belt configured to engage a torso of a person with said opening of said pouch located adjacent a lower end of said torso;   a second support device attached to said back panel adjacent said second end of said pouch, said second support device including a strap configured to engage a leg of said person; and   a third support device including a pair of protrusions extending from said back panel, each one of said pair of protrusions being elongated and having a length that extends between said first end to said second end.   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said first support device includes a belt loop that receives said belt, said belt loop attached to said pouch. 
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said first and second slots are dimensioned to have a width slightly larger than a diameter of said plurality of flying discs and a dimension slightly larger than a thickness of said plurality of flying discs whereby each one of said plurality of flying discs are secured loosely in said first and second slots. 
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said belt slideably engages said pouch. 
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further including a sheet suspended between said pair of protrusions, said sheet attached to said pair of protrusions adjacent an outboard end of each of said pair of protrusions. 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said first wall and said second wall are removably attached to said pouch. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said first wall and said second wall are spacedly joined by an end wall to form an organizer, said organizer being removably securable within said pouch. 
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said opening is substantially rigid such that said opening maintains a shape sized to receive at least one of the plurality of flying discs. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said opening is resilient such that said opening is deformable and returns to a shape sized to receive at least one of the plurality of flying discs. 
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said first and second walls are fixedly attached inside said pouch. 
   
   
       11 . An apparatus for carrying a plurality of flying discs, said apparatus comprising:
 a pouch having an opening opposite a base, said pouch including a back panel between said opening and said base;   a plurality of dividers inside said pouch, said plurality of dividers spaced apart to define a slot between adjacent ones of said plurality of dividers, each said slot dimensioned and configured to receive and secure one of the plurality of flying discs;   a first support structure attached to said back panel adjacent said opening, said first support structure including a belt dimensioned and configured to secure around a waist of a person; and   a second support structure attached to said back panel adjacent said base, said second support structure including a strap dimensioned and configured to secure around a leg of said person.   
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 1 I 1  further including of a pair of protrusions extending from said back panel, said pair of protrusions being elongated, said pair of protrusions configured to define a gap wherein a portion of said back panel between said pair of protrusions is spaced apart from a body portion of said person when said strap engages said leg. 
   
   
       13 . The apparatus of  claim 11  wherein said plurality of dividers includes a first panel and a second panel, said first panel and said second panel joined by an end panel to form an organizer, said end panel adjustably spacing apart said first panel from said second panel to match the various widths of said plurality of said flying discs, said organizer being removably securable within said pouch. 
   
   
       14 . The apparatus of  claim 11  wherein said belt slideably engages said pouch. 
   
   
       15 . The apparatus of  claim 1 I 1  wherein said first support structure is removably securable to said waist. 
   
   
       16 . The apparatus of  claim 11  wherein said second support structure is removably securable to said leg. 
   
   
       17 . An apparatus for carrying a plurality of flying discs, said apparatus comprising:
 a belt dimensioned and configured to encircle a torso of a person;   a holster having an opening opposite a base, said belt attached to said holster adjacent said opening, said holster having a plurality of dividers defining a plurality of slots, each one said plurality of slots dimensioned and configured to receive one of the plurality of flying discs through said opening; and   a strap dimensioned and configured to encircle a leg of said person, said strap attached to said holster adjacent said base.   
   
   
       18 . The apparatus of  claim 17  further including of a pair of protrusions extending from said holster between a belt attachment and a strap attachment, said pair of protrusions being elongated, said pair of protrusions configured to define a gap between said holster and said person when said strap encircles said leg. 
   
   
       19 . The apparatus of  claim 17  wherein said belt is configured to be attached to said pouch such that said opening is substantially aligned with a waist of said player.
