Abstract
The invention claimed herein and depicted in FIGS. 1 through 6 presents a holster-style carrying pouch for personal items. It can be worn on either the left or right side of the torso at the discretion of the user by using either the reverse or obverse face. The configuration of the device allows lower pouch 2 accessibility from both the obverse and reverse faces of the device. Lower pouch flap 16 can be selectively closed over either the obverse or reverse face of lower pouch pocket 2, which can be secured while closed via closures 20 (FIGS. 1 and 4). Pencil/pen holders 14 are also provided on both faces of the device. Main strap 6 is placed around the wearer's shoulder. Secondary strap 8 can be draped across the opposite shoulder or torso by attaching its terminal ends to attachment rings 26. A third configuration is possible by draping secondary strap 8 around the wearer's waist and securing its terminal ends onto waist strap rings 34 via securing means 28. Main and secondary straps can be adjusted for length using said securing means at their terminal ends or via adjustment buckles 18. Upper pouch 4 can be removed from main strap 6 by releasing securing means 36 and sliding attachment loop 22 away from said strap. This allows upper pouch 4 to be utilized separately as a carrying case or secured to a belt, purse or luggage strap via attachment loop 22.
