Extendable pouch

Abstract

The current invention is intended to help emergency personnel who otherwise would lose precious time needed for reaction to crisis events. By making all information that is being outputted by a radiation detector, or other small equipment device, immediately accessible and secure, as well as convenient to use, this extendable pouch gives an edge to security and other emergency personnel so that they can act quickly to avert a crisis or secure others. Other embodiments or modifications include non-elastic sides, tethering of the pouch to user's belt, a web belt with a pouch sewn as an integrated piece, one vinyl window, or open windows and may be imagined for other small device use for security or otherwise. Embodiments may include use for a warning device for sight-impaired persons, with readings felt as well as partially seen. Other embodiments might also be imagined by one schooled in the art.

1 . A container for carrying an electronic device, comprising
 a. a pouch of a sufficient size to contain a small electronic device, such as device used by a law enforcement or safety official to detect radiation, said pouch having at least a front, and a back,   b. said pouch having at least one opening, or open area covered by a transparent material such as clear vinyl, to allow a user to access at least one control or information display on a device contained within said pouch, without removing said device from the pouch,   c. a loop of a sufficient size to accommodate a user's belt, having a first end and a second end,   d. wherein the first end of the loop is flexibly connected to the pouch at a point at or near the top of the back of said pouch, with the second end of said loop substantially adjacent to the bottom of said pouch.   
   
   
       2 . the container of  claim 1 , further comprising,
 a. a means of releasable attachment, such as hook-and-loop material, affixed to the back of the pouch,   b. wherein the loop has a front side and a back side, wherein said back side is substantially adjacent to a user's body when the user's belt is passed through said loop,   c. a complementary means of releasable attachment affixed to the front side of the loop,   d. wherein the means of releasable attachment and the complementary means of releasable attachment are adjacent and are releasably connected when they come in contact.   
   
   
       3 . A container for carrying an electronic device, comprising
 a. a pouch or enclosure of a sufficient size to contain a small electronic device, such as those used by law enforcement and safety officials for detecting radiation, said pocket having at least a front and a back,   b. said pouch having at least one opening, or open area covered by a transparent material such as clear vinyl, on at least one of the sides or front in such a manner that a user may access at least one control or information display on a device contained within said pouch, without removing said device from the pocket,   c. a means of attaching the pouch to a user's belt, wherein said means is flexibly connected to the pouch at a point at or near the top of the back of said pouch, wherein when the pouch is attached to a user's belt the user may grasp the bottom of said pouch and tilt it upwards in order to view, access or use a device contained in said pouch,   d. a means of releasable attachment, such as hook-and-loop material, affixed to the back of said pouch,   e. a complementary means of releasable attachment affixed to the front of the means of attachment, wherein the means of releasable attachment is substantially adjacent to said complementary means of releasable attachment and are releasably connected when in contact with each other.   
   
   
       4 . the container of  claim 1  wherein the pouch has at least one opening of a sufficient size to accommodate an earpiece plug, wherein when an electronic device is placed within said pouch said opening is substantially adjacent to an earpiece plug receptor on said electronic device. 
   
   
       5 . the container of  claim 3  wherein the pouch has at least one opening of a sufficient size to accommodate an earpiece plug, wherein when an electronic device is placed within said pouch said opening is substantially adjacent to an earpiece plug receptor on said electronic device. 
   
   
       6 . the container of  claim 1  further comprising at least one side made of an elastic material whereby an electronic device may be tightly enclosed. 
   
   
       7 . the container of  claim 3  further comprising at least one side made of an elastic material whereby an electronic device may be tightly enclosed. 
   
   
       8 . A container for carrying a radiation pager, comprising,
 a. a pouch made of a flexible material, such as leather, vinyl or cloth, of approximately five inches high, three inches wide and one inch deep, and being of a sufficient size to contain a radiation detection pager, such as those used by law enforcement and safety officials, said pocket having a front, a back, and two sides,   b. at least one opening in the front of said pouch approximately one inch high and one-and-one-half inches wide whereby a user may view an information display on a device contained in said pocket   c. a transparent material, such as clear vinyl affixed over the opening so that the information display on said the will not be affected by dust, debris or other contaminates,   d. a belt loop having a first end and a second end, and a front side and a back side,   e. wherein the first end of the belt loop is flexibly connected to the pouch at a point at or near the top of said pouch, wherein the second end of said belt loop is oriented towards the bottom of said pouch, in such a manner that when a user's belt is passed through the belt loop both the top of the pouch and the first end of the loop are positioned above the belt, to allow the user to lift the pouch in order to access or view a device contained in the pouch through the opening,   f. a means of releasable attachment, such as hook-and-loop material, affixed to the back of said pouch,   d. a complementary means of releasable attachment affixed to the front of the loop, wherein the means of releasable attachment is substantially adjacent to said complementary means of releasable attachment and is releasably attached when in contact.
