Carrier with universal pocket for telecommunications device

Abstract

A general purpose carrier having a clear pocket to retain a telecommunication device in a usable orientation. One panel of a plurality of panels that form the sides of a general purpose carrier has a transparent region. A pocket is formed having the transparent region as one side. One or more elastic members retain an arbitrarily sized telecommunication device inserted within the pocket against the transparent region to permit viewing of the display of the device as well as manipulation of its controls through the transparent region.

1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a plurality of panels coupled together to define an internal volume;   a first panel of the plurality having a transparent region;   an internal panel coupled to the first panel to define a first pocket within the internal volume, an external side of the first pocket defined by the transparent region; and   at least one elastic member to bias an arbitrarily sized device residing within the first pocket into contact with the transparent region.   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a second pocket defined adjacent to the first pocket, a wall of the second pocket defining a through hole to permit access from the second pocket to the first pocket.   
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 2  further comprising:
 a closure flap coupled adjacent to the second pocket; and   a cooperating closure device having one member on the closure flap and a cooperative member on a wall of the second pocket.   
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a fabric panel between the first panel and the internal panel and wherein the elastic member resides between the fabric panel and the internal panel.   
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the internal panel comprises:
 a raised edge to provide a grip point to permit the internal panel to be pulled away from the first panel.   
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 5  wherein the internal panel comprises:
 a pleated upper edge.   
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the transparent region comprises:
 a flexible transparent plastic material.   
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the transparent region is substantially coextensive with a length and width dimension of the first pocket. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the internal panel prevents visibility of the internal volume through the transparent region. 
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a window cover of an opaque material detachably coupled adjacent to at least one edge of the transparent region.   
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the pocket has an externally accessible opening further comprising:
 a detachable pocket affixed upwardly adjacent to the first pocket.   
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 11  wherein the detachable pocket comprises:
 an opaque panel;   a transparent panel; and   an elastic member coupled in tension to bias a device within the detachable pocket into contact with the transparent panel.
