Field of the Disclosure
The disclosure relates to storage devices and more particularly pertains to a new storage device for storing documents in a vehicle such that the documents are visible.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a vehicle that has a visor. A pouch is provided and the pouch may contain documents. The pouch is removably coupled to the visor and the pouch is substantially comprised of a translucent material. Thus, the documents are visible within the pouch. A pair of clips is provided and each of the clips is coupled to the pouch. Each of the clips engages the visor.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure 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 disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
The pouch 16 has front side 20 and a back side 22. The front side 20 is attached to the back side 22 along an entire perimeter of the pouch 16 to define a space 23 within the pouch 16. The front side 20 has a top edge 24. The front side 24 has a cut 26 extending through the front side 20 to access the space 23. Thus, the cut 26 allows the documents 18 to be positioned within the space 23.
The cut 26 is positioned adjacent to the top edge 24 and the cut 26 is substantially coextensive with the top edge 24. The front side 20 is substantially comprised of the translucent material. The back side 22 has a bottom edge 28 and the front side 20 extends downwardly beyond the bottom edge 28. The bottom edge 28 is coupled to the front side 24.
The front side 24 has a first lateral edge 30, a second lateral 32 and a lower edge 34. The front side 24 may have indicia 36 printed thereon. The indicia 36 may define a border that is coextensive with each of the first lateral edge 30, the second lateral edge 32 and the lower edge 34. The indicia 36 may comprise geometric shapes or the like thereby enhancing an appearance of the pouch 16.
A pair of clips 38 is provided and each of the clips 38 has a central portion 40 extending between a front portion 42 and a rear portion 44. The front portion 42 and the rear portion 44 are spaced apart from each other. The rear portion 44 has a length that is greater than a length of the front portion 42. The front portion 42 has a top edge 46.
The top edge 46 of each of the clips 38 is coupled to the bottom edge 28 of the back side 22. The rear portion 44 extends upwardly along the back side 22. The front side 24 substantially covers the front portion 42 of each of the clips 38. The rear portion 44 of each of the clips 38 is spaced from the back side 22. Thus, the visor 14 is positionable between the rear portion 44 of each of the clips 38 and the back side 22. The rear portion 44 of each of the clips 38 is biased toward the back side 22 such that each of the clips 38 frictionally engages the visor 14. Thus, the pouch 16 is removably retained on the visor 14.
A closure 48 is coupled to the pouch 16. The closure 48 may be manipulated. The closure 48 is aligned with the cut 26 such that the closure 48 selectively opens and closes the cut 26. The closure 48 may comprise a zipper or the like.
In use, the visor 14 is positioned between the clips 38 and the pouch 16 such that the front side 20 of the pouch 16 is exposed on the visor 14. The closure 48 is manipulated to open the cut 26 and the documents 18 are inserted into the pouch 16. The documents 18 are positioned such that the documents 18 can be read through the front side 20. The closure 48 is manipulated to close the cut 26.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, system and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is u sed in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
