Claims
- 1. A mirror pouch comprising an integral one-piece receptacle constructed of a resilient and flexible material, said receptacle defining a flat mirror compartment and including a pair of generally flat side walls integrally connected to one another at least around a substantial portion of the perimeter thereof and also being separated from one another along a predetermined area thereof which is sufficient to define an opening for entry and removal of the flat mirror within said receptacle, said receptacle being temporarily deformable by force applied around the integrally connected periphery thereof to separate the resilient side walls from one another so as to facilitate entry and removal of said flat mirror within said receptacle, said mirror opening being opened and closed by releasable fastening means attached to the side walls of said receptacle in proximity to said opening, said flat mirror and the flat mirror compartment of said receptacle being substantially complementary configured, said receptacle being generally rectangularly shaped, said releasable fastening means comprising a hook and pile fastening means, the side walls forming the complementary configured flat mirror compartment extending further forwardly towards its mirror opening and beyond the proximate edge of any mirror located therein, said hook and pile fastening means being attached to said side walls in confronting relationship within the flat mirror compartment applied to the interior of said side wall extensions beyond the proximate mirror edge to hold said side walls into engaged position, for retention of the flat mirror within said receptacle, said hook and pile fastening means capable of being separated upon the application of force to the receptacle perimeter at the edges of said receptacle opening to provide clearance for the insertion or removal of the flat mirror within said receptacle, and upon the release of said force the resilient side walls inherently collapsing into continguity to provide for the automatic re-engagement of the hook and pile fastening means for retaining the receptacle opening into closure and the retention of any flat mirror therein, and said receptacle being formed of a resilient polymer material.
- 2. The mirror pouch as defined in claim 1 wherein said polymer material being polyvinyl chloride.
- 3. The mirror pouch as defined in claim 2 and including a key ring or the like attached to said receptacle, said key ring and said receptacle being pivotally and foldably connected to one another to position said key ring and receptacle in generally overlapped relationship for convenient carrying or storage thereof.
- 4. The mirror pouch as defined in claim 3 and including a link pivotally and foldably securing said key ring to said receptacle.
- 5. The mirror pouch as defined in claim 4 wherein said link is a U-shaped member having depending legs which straddle the receptacle, said depending legs being secured at outer free ends thereof to each other through the side walls of said receptacle to secure the link to said receptacle, said key ring being pivotally and foldably received within the U-shaped link when secured to said receptacle.
- 6. The mirror pouch as defined in claim 5 wherein said receptacle member has a polygonal exterior configuration, and said link is secured to said receptacle in a polygonal corner area remote from said mirror opening.
- 7. A mirror pouch comprising an integral one-piece receptacle constructed of a resilient and flexible material, said receptacle defining a flat mirror compartment and including a pair of generally flat side walls integrally connected to one another at least around a substantial portion of the perimeter thereof and also being separated from one another along a predetermined area thereof which is sufficient to define an opening for entry and removal of the flat mirror within said receptacle, said receptacle being temporarily deformable by force applied around the integrally connected periphery thereof to separate the side walls from one another so as to facilitate entry and removal of said flat mirror within said receptacle, said mirror opening being opened and closed by releasable fastening means attached to the side walls of said receptacle in proximity to said opening, said flat mirror and the flat mirror compartment of said receptacle are substantially complementary configured, a key ring or the like attached to said receptacle, said key ring and said receptacle being pivotally and foldably connected to one another to position said key ring and receptacle in generally overlapped relationship for convenient carrying or storage thereof, a link pivotally and foldably securing said key ring to said receptacle, said link being a U-shaped member, having depending legs which straddle the receptacle, said depending legs being secured at outer free ends thereof to each other through the side walls of said receptacle to secure the link to said receptacle, said key ring being pivotally and foldably received within the U-shaped link when secured to said receptacle, said receptacle having a polygonal exterior configuration, and said link being secured to said receptacle in a polygonal corner area remote from said mirror opening, said receptacle being generally rectangularly shaped, said releasable fastening means comprising a hook and pile fastening means, said hook and pile fastening means being attached to said side walls in confronting relationship within the flat mirror compartment of said receptacle in proximity to said mirror opening, said receptacle being formed of a polymer material, and said polymer material being polyvinyl chloride.
