Storage assembly with pockets
First Claim
1. A storage assembly with pockets comprising:
- a flexible panel having a first side, a second side and a perimeter edge extending around and between said first side and said second side, said panel being positionable in an extended position and a folded position, said panel being elongated wherein said perimeter edge includes a pair of short sides and a pair of long sides attached to and extending between said pair of short sides;
a plurality of pockets coupled to said first side of said panel, said plurality of pockets comprising at least four pockets, each of said pockets having a respective first end, second end and perimeter wall coupled to and extending between said respective first and second ends, said first end of each of said pockets being open to provide access to an interior of an associated one of said pockets, said first ends of said pockets being aligned along one of said long sides of said perimeter edge, said pockets being vertically stacked relative to each other when said panel is in said folded position;
a plurality of supports coupled to said panel, said plurality of supports comprising at least three supports, said supports being evenly spaced between said short sides of said perimeter edge of said panel, each of said supports being positioned between associated ones of said pockets to provide rigidity between said associated pockets and facilitate retaining said panel in said folded position, each said support comprising a rigid planar member, each of said supports being positioned within an interior of said panel;
a projection coupled to and extending outwardly from said perimeter edge of said panel forming a lip extending around said panel; and
a tab coupled to and extending outwardly from said projection wherein said tab facilitates holding of said assembly, said tab being coupled to an associated one of said short sides, said tab having a width less than a length of said associated one of said short sides, said tab being centrally positioned on said associated one of said short sides wherein said tab extends laterally from said perimeter edge relative to said pockets.

Abstract
A storage assembly with pockets allows a person to organize and readily access various items. The assembly includes a flexible panel having a first side, a second side and a perimeter edge extending around and between the first side and the second side. The panel is positionable in an extended position and a folded position. A plurality of pockets is coupled to the first side of the panel. Each of the pockets has a respective first end being open to provide access to an interior of an associated one of the pockets. The pockets are vertically stacked relative to each other when the panel is in the folded position. A plurality of supports is coupled to the panel. Each of the supports is positioned between associated ones of the pockets to provide rigidity between the associated pockets and facilitate retaining the panel in the folded position.
