Garment-attachable holder

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are directed to garment-attachable holders for the temporary holding of personal effects. In one embodiment, a garment-attachable holder is comprised of a piece of rectangular sheet material having a first surface and a second surface. The second surface may include adhesive on various portions thereon. At least one edge of the second surface may include a reinforcement.

1 . A garment-attachable holder, comprising
 a piece of rectangular sheet material defined by four edges and having an inner-facing surface and an outer-facing surface; and   at least three adhesive strips adjacent first, second and third edges on the inner-facing surface of the sheet material, the at least three adhesive strips integrally adhered to the inner-facing surface of the sheet material.   
     
     
         2 . The garment-attachable holder of  claim 1  wherein the sheet material forms a pocket when the inner-facing surface is attached to a surface by applying pressure thereto. 
     
     
         3 . The garment-attachable holder of  claim 2  wherein a fourth edge includes a reinforcement material adjacent thereto, the reinforcement material integrally adhered to the inner-facing surface of the sheet material. 
     
     
         4 . A combination, comprising:
 a wearable item selected from the group consisting of apparel, a shoe or a carrying bag, the wearable item adapted to receive a garment-attachable holder, the garment attachable holder consisting of:
 a piece of rectangular sheet material defined by four edges and having an inner-facing surface and an outer-facing surface; and 
 at least three adhesive strips adjacent first, second and third edges on the inner-facing surface of the sheet material, the at least three adhesive strips integrally adhered to the inner-facing surface of the sheet material. 
   
     
     
         5 . The combination of  claim 4  wherein the sheet material forms a pocket when the inner-facing surface is attached to a surface by applying pressure thereto. 
     
     
         6 . The combination of  claim 5  wherein a fourth edge includes a reinforcement material adjacent thereto, the reinforcement material integrally adhered to the inner-facing surface of the sheet material. 
     
     
         7 . A method of carrying items on the inside of a garment, comprising:
 removing a garment-attachable holder from protective backing wherein the garment-attachable holder comprises: (i) a piece of rectangular sheet material defined by four edges and having an inner-facing surface and an outer-facing surface, and (ii) at least three adhesive strips adjacent first, second and third edges on the inner-facing surface of the sheet material, the at least three adhesive strips integrally adhered to the inner-facing surface of the sheet material;   attaching the garment-attachable holder to a surface; and   placing one of an identification card, a credit card or money bills therein.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7  wherein the sheet material forms a pocket when the inner-facing surface is attached to a surface by applying pressure thereto.
