[0020] Figure 1 is a perspective view of a storage device carried on the leg disposed on a leg of a user, according to an embodiment of the invention. A storage device shown on the leg 10 arranged on a leg 12 of a user is shown.

[0021] The storage device carried on the illustrated leg 10 is configured to deposit objects around a user's leg 12. According to an embodiment of the invention, the storage device carried on the leg 10 is configured to include a plurality of inner pockets (see Figure 4) that are located on the inner face of the device and, therefore, adjacent to the The user's leg and contact with it when the device is worn. There can be a plurality of tissue layers concentrically coupled with a set of pockets between each set of layers. Anti-slip treads are arranged on the inside of the device to help keep the device securely in place. Exterior pockets (not shown) can also be placed on the outside face of the device to provide additional storage. One or more pockets can be selectively removable and coupled to an inner surface of the device by one or more coupling devices (hook and loop, snap hooks, buttons, etc.).

[0022] According to an embodiment of the invention, the storage device carried on the leg is advantageously configured to provide men or women with the ability to carry daily necessities, essential objects or articles and / or personal effects (eg, card of driving, credit cards, cash, mobile phone, passport, keys, makeup, reading glasses, etc.) in a safe location in their people, typically in the upper region of the thigh of one leg. The device can be expected to eliminate the need to carry a purse or bag for such objects or items while advantageously offering a secure and hidden location for important documents, needs, effects, speaker microphone packs, keys, hygiene items personal, and other essentials that can be found in a purse, purse or otherwise carried.

[0023] According to an embodiment of the invention, there is a storage device carried on the leg with pockets. The device can be sized to be approximately 5 "to 8" wide and approximately 18 "to 28" long depending on the size (for example, small, medium, large and

extra big). When worn, the device can be wrapped around the user's leg, typically on the upper thigh, and can be fixed using hook and hole closures, snap fasteners, buttons, knots, zippers, tongue and groove devices , adhesives, cabs, clamps, clips, hooks, hook and loop fasteners (ie Velcro brand connectors), conventional and / or similar and combinations thereof. The device can be securely held in place against the leg of the wearer by using friction enhancement materials / structures, such as, but not limited to, silicone / rubber / adhesive / adherent materials. / dry adhesion (such as, but not limited to, biomimetic adhesives such as, but not limited to, Geckskin), seals, treads, designs, beads, strips, layers and / or peripheral tubes. Tread / etc. They can also be implemented using silicone tweezers, silicone-backed elastics, or raised silicone beads. Tread / etc. They can also be impregnated in an inner layer of the device. Such application / impregnation can be carried out by screen printing, silk screen printing, spraying, surface erosion, stamping, soaking, painting, lamination, injection molding (i.e., two-stage injection molding), gluing, deposit, sewing, pressure, riveting, precipitation, fusion, dripping and / or cooking and / or combinations thereof. Tread / etc. they are arranged in the internal parts of the device so that they are in contact with the user's leg when the device is worn. Tread / etc. they can help secure the device in place by friction with the user's skin while wrapping tightly around the upper part of the thigh to allow uninterrupted fluid movement and private and secure storage of personal effects.

[0024] When the friction enhancement layer is incorporated or otherwise impregnated in an inner layer of the device, the device advantageously has improved and / or non-oppressive anti-slip properties in addition to being more durable. This is especially true when the fabric is extensible fabric, such as, but not limited to, two-way extensible fabric. In particular, when the friction improvement layer is merely placed on the fabric, but does not penetrate significantly (it is not incorporated or impregnated inside it) when the material is extended and relaxed, the improvement layer from friction it will generally begin to detach from it. Also, the friction improvement layer will extend less and when some of the "adhesion" properties of the friction improvement layer are associated with the degree to which the friction improvement layer is subjected to orthogonal force Against the skin, the friction enhancement layer will "stick" better to the leg if it is impregnated inside the tissue.

[0025] When the fabric is two-way stretch fabric instead of non-extensible fabric, it will interact beneficially with the friction enhancement layer (ie, the silicone tread). When the tissue is two-way stretch fabric instead of four-way stretch fabric, it will have improved consistency of leg placement, less tightness, and a more attractive overall appearance. In addition, it will not distort the pockets to the same extent as would occur with four-way extensible material.

[0026] Tread / etc. They can alternatively be made of rubber or any other similar material that is commonly used for their slip-resistant and non-slip qualities. In some embodiments of the invention, the treads can be arranged to form various shapes, models, letters, drawings and the like to identify a brand or trade name of the device, or impart other information in a pictorial or written manner, such as, but not limited to, being presented as a series of writing arranged in "G" in a repetitive set around the inner surface of the device.

[0027] The device may generally include between about five to sixteen vertically oriented pockets depending on the size of the device and whether a cord cover layer is used outside the device. The internal pockets, which are held as close to the thigh by the device, can be securely closed by means of a sewn formed fabric flap. The fabric flap allows the user the ability to lift it and reach the inside of a pocket for easy accessibility, while providing a covered pocket closure when carried objects or items are not needed. The internal pockets can also be closed by hook and loop, snap hooks, zippers, or other materials and / or conventional fixing devices depending on the requirements of a particular device implementation. The parts of the device can be made of fabric that are breathable two-way extension microfibers incorporating elastin. Such a fabric can be expected to allow the device to expand and wrap around the upper part of the user's thigh for an elastic tight fit. A drawstring cover can optionally be used as an additional layer of 6 "two-way stretch cord that provides a second row of pockets on the outside of the device as shown in the view of the outside of the device. The outer pockets are not configured With a superior closure feature.

[0028] Tensile fabric is a term that refers to synthetic fabrics that extend. Extensible tissues are divided into two categories: extendable with 2 senses and extendable with 4 senses. The 2-way extensible fabrics extend in one direction, usually from edge to edge (but may be in other directions depending on the point). Extensible 4-way tissues, such as spandex, extend in both directions, transversely and longitudinally. Extensible tissues evolved from the scientific effort to make fibers using neoprene. From this investigation, stretch fabrics ("elastomers") such as spandex or elastane (widely referred to as the "Lycra" brand) were brought to market.
