Description
- The invention disclosed herein generally relates to purses and wallets. More particularly, the invention disclosed herein relates to a sealable display pouch attached to a purse or a wallet for displaying an insert element, for example, a photo(s), a drawing, a custom designed sketch, etc., on the purse or the wallet.
- Kids' craft, particularly craft items given to parents from their children to celebrate events such as Mother's Day and Father's Day have predominantly been impractical for parents to use and have had a short shelf life, leaving not much scope for parents to enjoy their kid's creative gift over an extended period of time. Furthermore, photos of vacations, trips, events, or other objects that remind individuals of memorable times can currently only be stored in accessories, for example, wallets, purses, albums, etc. These cannot be used to customize the exterior design of a wallet or a purse. An apparatus, which is usable to customize the exterior design of a wallet or a purse, is required. Traditionally, wallets or purses with customizable exteriors have been designed keeping in mind a young audience. Alternately, the wallets or purses come with predefined designs, which can be modified only by a skilled designer. As wallets or purses are accessories used by adults and kids alike on a daily basis, they must be easily customizable and appealing to both kids and adults.
- Traditionally, for people across the world, a purse or a wallet is a style statement or an expression of the individual's choice. Conventionally, companies design wallets or purses according to their design strategy. As wallets or purses are accessories used by adults and kids alike on a daily basis, they must be easily customizable and appealing to both kids and adults. The options available to an individual are limited to the designs propagated by established wallet or purse manufacturers. Moreover, special edition wallets may be released commemorating an incident or an individual. It is not economically feasible to buy multiple wallets or purses based on trending designs. An apparatus provided with a wallet or a purse, which is easily customizable according to trending designs and appealing to both kids and adults alike, is required. Additionally, existing wallets having compartments for storing photo(s), art work, do not have a sealing mechanism for the compartment. This exposes the compartment to external elements, for example, dust, water, etc. This gradually destroys or causes a disintegration of the stored object. An apparatus provided with a wallet or a purse, which has a sealing mechanism for securely storing a decorative object or a photo(s), is required.
- Hence, there is a long felt but unresolved need for an apparatus, which is usable to customize the exterior design of a wallet or a purse. Furthermore, there is a need for an apparatus provided with a wallet or a purse, which is easily customizable according to trending designs and appealing to both kids and adults alike. Moreover, there is a need for an apparatus provided with a wallet or a purse, which has a sealing mechanism for securely storing a decorative object or a photo(s).
- This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further disclosed in the detailed description of the invention. This summary is not intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended for determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
- The invention disclosed herein addresses the above-mentioned need for an apparatus, which is usable to customize the exterior design of a wallet or a purse. Furthermore, the invention addresses a need for an apparatus provided with a wallet or a purse, which is easily customizable according to trending designs and appealing to both kids and adults alike. Moreover, the invention addresses a need for an apparatus, provided with a wallet or a purse, which has a sealing mechanism for securely storing a decorative object or a photo(s). The present invention provides a transparent outer fabric and a sealable opening at one end of the purse where craft items, drawings, photos, paintings, collage, fabric and the like can be inserted and sealed into the purse to create an individual design on the purse.
- The sealable display pouch for displaying an insert element on an outer surface of a receptacle, for example, a purse, a wallet, etc., includes a transparent fabric panel, an adhesive strip, and an insert element. The transparent fabric panel is fixedly attached to the outer surface of the wallet or the purse. The transparent fabric panel includes an opening, a top section, an inner surface, and a space. The opening is positioned at the top section of the transparent fabric panel. The inner surface of the transparent fabric panel and the outer surface of the wallet or the purse defines the space therebetween. The adhesive strip is positioned on the outer surface of the wallet or the purse. The adhesive strip releasably seals the transparent fabric panel with the outer surface of the wallet or the purse. The insert element is positioned in the space defined by the transparent fabric panel for displaying the insert element.
- The foregoing summary, as well as the following detailed description of the invention, is better understood when read in conjunction with the appended drawings. For the purpose of illustrating the invention, exemplary constructions of the invention are shown in the drawings.

In an embodiment, thesealable display pouch 100 is provided on apurse 101 as exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 1A-1F . Thesealable display pouch 100 for displaying aninsert element 102 on anouter surface 101 a of apurse 101 comprises atransparent fabric panel 103, anadhesive strip 104, and theinsert element 102. In an embodiment, thetransparent fabric panel 103 is fixedly attached to theouter surface 101 a of thepurse 101. Moreover, thetransparent fabric panel 103 comprises anopening 103 a, atop section 103 b, aninner surface 103 c, and aspace 103 d as exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 1D . In an embodiment, the opening 103 a is positioned at thetop section 103 b of thetransparent fabric panel 103 as exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 1B-1C . In an embodiment, thetransparent fabric panel 103 is made from a transparent fabric material, for example, clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC), non-woven polypropylene, synthetic fabrics, etc. The body of thepurse 101 is made from materials, for example, cotton, hemp, synthetics and leather, etc. - The
transparent fabric panel 103 is made transparent so that theinsert element 102 is easily seen when viewing thepurse 101. Theinner surface 103 c of thetransparent fabric panel 103 and theouter surface 101 a of thepurse 101 defines thespace 103 d therebetween. Theadhesive strip 104 is positioned on theouter surface 101 a of thepurse 101 for releasably sealing thetransparent fabric panel 103 with theouter surface 101 a of thepurse 101 as exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 1E . Theadhesive strip 104 used for releasably sealing thepurse 101 is, for example, a double sided sticky tape, adhered to theouter surface 101 a of thepurse 101 once theinsert element 102 is inserted. After this step, theinsert element 102 is positioned in thespace 103 d situated between theinner surface 103 c of thetransparent fabric panel 103 and theouter surface 101 a of thepurse 101. The backing paper of the sticky tape is removed and theouter surface 101 a of thepurse 101 adheres to theinner surface 103 c of thetransparent fabric panel 103 sealing theinsert element 102 in place. - In an embodiment, the
adhesive strip 104 is replaced by other fastening elements, for example, hook and loop fasteners such as Velcro® of Velcro Industries B.V. LLC, zip fasteners, button fasteners, snap fasteners, etc. Thus, theinsert element 102 is positioned in thespace 103 d defined by thetransparent fabric panel 103 for displaying theinsert element 102. If the double sided sticky tape design is used as theadhesive strip 104, then theouter surface 101 a of thepurse 101 and thetransparent fabric panel 103 would typically be made of a material, for example, a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fabric suitable to adhere to the double sided sticky tape. Theinsert element 102 are, for example, a sketched image, a printed image, a photo(s) image, an art and craft object, etc. Theinsert element 102 is customizable based on creativity and selection of designs by different individuals. For example, theinsert element 102 is an object designed by children as part of a class project. Alternately, theinsert element 102 is a sketched image of a celebrity designed as a gift. Different embodiments of the present invention provide aninsert element 102 that is easy to use, offers flexibility and individualisation through the craft/artwork insert design. Furthermore, articles used to design theinsert element 102, for example, craft paper, fabric, etc., are cost effective and a practical, personalised, and useful item for the gift receiver or user of thepurse 101.
