Abstract
Abstract A roll-up carrier incorporates a rectangular sheet of flexible material with one or more strips of a first adhesive material secured to one surface parallel to a pair of edges, and one or more strips of a second adhesive material secured to the other surface juxtaposed with respect to the strips of first adhesive material. The first and second adhesive materials are preferably Velcro, and can be engaged with each other by pressure. A handle is provided, and pieces of the second adhesive material are attached to tools, implements, or other items to be carried in the carrier. One or more strips of the first adhesive material are mounted horizontally on a supporting surface so that the carrier can be mounted against the wall to constitute a wall support for the tools or other implements.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
179 words
In combination: a substantially rectangular sheet of flexible material having two opposed surfaces, a pair of side edges and a pair of end edges, the longer dimension of the sheet being such as to allow the sheet to be rolled up to surround a plurality of implements, at least one strip of a first adhesive material secured to one surface of said sheet substantially parallel to the pair of side edges, said strip being narrower than the rectangular sheet, for each strip of said first adhesive material, a strip of a second adhesive material secured to the other surface of said sheet in juxtaposition to its respective strip of first adhesive material, each adhesive material being of a type to be more pressure engageable to the other adhesive material than to itself the two adhesive materials being disengageable from each other by pulling apart, and a plurality of pieces of said second adhesive material each said piece being pressure engageable to the strip of first adhesive material on the rectangular sheet and each having means for attachment to implements.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
