Abstract
Abstract A clip-on holder for coins, keys, cards and the like forms a security pouch which can be fastened on to an article of clothing. The holder comprises a slim flexible portion which defines a pocket, preferably closable by a special pull-apart closure providing for a waterproof engagement, and a clip member which is resilient and grippingly holds the article of clothing. The pouch can be worn inconspicuously and yet is secure. The clip member is preferably a two-part hook-shaped element with the outer part compressing the inner part against the clothing.
