Abstract

Abstract An improved detachable pocket assembly for carrying I.D. cards, photos, coins, keys, tickets and the like on apparel such as shoes includes a pocket formed between front and back faces of sheet material, one of which faces preferably has a transparent plastic window sealed over an opening in it. The pocket can be pivoted in order for the wearer to look into it when wearing it on a shoe. The pocket has at the upper end an opening for access to contents, covered by a first extension at the top of the front face, folds over in a rearward and downward direction for rain shedding and has provision for securing the pocket to apparel, in the form of a strap-like extension from the bottom of the pocket that wraps around the pocket and detachably secures by snaps intermediate the back of the pocket and on the front of the pocket. These snaps or equivalent fasteners provide a securance for holding closed the fold over extension closed, and a backup securance for holding it positively to a shoe when the pocket is open and being pivoted, pushed or pulled for manipulating the contents; keyring can be carried by the detached pocket assembly.
