Abstract

A multi-purpose carrier constructed from a single continuous sheet of material that is folded along a central vertical axis to create opposing top open ends and opposing bottom open ends wherein the left and right sides are further folded towards the central vertical axis to create opposing side walls with a channel at the outer edge of each of the side walls. A torsion spring is funneled through the channels to compress the opposing sides of the device together to create a positive compression grip on the contents carried in the carrier.

Claims

1. A multi-purpose carrier comprising

a. a single continuous sheet of material with a left and right side folded along a central vertical axis of the sheet to create opposing top open ends and opposing bottom open ends and wherein the left and right sides are further folded towards the central vertical axis to create opposing side walls with a channel at an outer edge of the each of the side walls;

and

b. a first torsion spring;

wherein a positive compression grip of an item inserted in the carrier is created by inserting the torsion spring through the channels at the outer edges of the opposing side walls at the top or bottom open end of the carrier to force the opposing side walls towards each other.

2. The carrier of claim 1 further comprising a second torsion spring interlaced with the first torsion spring at a central point of both torsion springs wherein a positive compression grip of an item inserted in the carrier is created by inserting the first spring of the pair of opposing torsion springs through the channel at the top open end of the first opposing side wall and the top open end of the second opposing side wall and inserting the second spring of the pair of opposing torsion springs through the channel at the bottom end of the first opposing side wall and the bottom end of the second opposing side wall to force the opposing side walls towards each other.

3. The carrier of claim 2 wherein the torsion springs have a “

W”

or “

M”

shaped end with two opposing limbs extruding therefrom.

4. The carrier of claim 3 wherein opposing ends of limbs of the torsion springs have turn back hooks that pass completely through the channels and out the open top and bottom ends of the carrier to lock the springs in place.

5. The carrier of claim 1 further comprising a loop of material attached to one of the opposing side walls to secure the carrier to a belt, paddle or slide on belt hanger.

6. The carrier of claim 1 further comprising a strap secured to the opposing side walls at the bottom open end.

7. The carrier of claim 1 further comprising a strip of plastic material at the vertical axis of the continuous sheet of material.
