Carrying case having an array of removable transparent pouches

Abstract

A portable, soft, transparent carrying case has removable transparent storage pockets or pouches attached to the interior cover. The removable storage pouches are attached to the cover by releasable fasteners so each pouch is removable. The pouches have zip lock type closures. A zipper zips around the top of the case and down the sides, so that unzipping it all the way allows the cover to lie down flat like a book, allowing the array of pouches to be flipped through like pages of a book.

1 . A carrying case device which opens up to display an array of storage pouches for carrying items, the device comprising:
 a transparent carrying case for carrying a plurality of items therein, the carrying case comprising a flexible transparent outer shell having a top opening and interconnected side opening and a pivotable cover attached to a bottom of the carrying case, the cover comprising a cover top to cover the top opening and a flexibly interconnected cover side to close the side opening, and a zipper which zips around three edges of the top of the case and three adjacent edges of the cover top and zips down two vertical side edges and the adjacent edges of the cover sides, so that unzipping it all the way allows the cover top and cover side to lie down flat;   a linear array of transparent pouches attached to an interior of the cover top each by a flexible attachment allowing a pivoting of the pouch relative to the cover top, each of the pouches having a closed pouch bottom end attached to the cover top and a top pouch opening at an opposite end having a means for closing and opening the pouch opening, so that when the cover is in a closed position, the pouches hang down from the interior of the cover top within the case with the pouch openings closed and when the cover is in an open position with the cover top and cover side in a flat position aligned with a bottom of the carrying case, the linear array of pouches extends upwardly from the interior of the cover top and the linear array may be searched by flipping through the array like flipping pages in a book to view the items contained in each transparent pouch and to access the items in each of the pouches by opening the means for closing and opening the pouch opening.   
   
   
       2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the pouches comprise transparent plastic bags and the means for closing and opening the pouch opening of each of the pouches comprises a zip lock closure. 
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 1  wherein each pouch bottom is attached to the interior of the cover by a mating hook and loop fastener so that each of the pouches in the linear array is removably attached to the carrying case. 
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 1  wherein each pouch bottom is attached to the interior of the cover by a mating metal and magnetic fastener so that each of the pouches in the linear array is removably attached to the carrying case. 
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 1  wherein each pouch bottom is attached to the interior of the cover by a mating array of snap fasteners so that each of the pouches in the linear array is removably attached to the carrying case.
