- a flexible sheet of material presenting respective outer and inner opposed surfaces;
means for snugly coupling said sheet with the visor with said inner surface adjacent thereto for flexible conformation to the shape thereof;
flexible material coupled with said outer surface for forming at least one object-receiving pocket; and

Abstract
An economical holder for solid objects such as audio cassettes, cartridges, compact disks, or the like is provided which is designed to couple with the sun visor or a vehicle in order to store solid objects for convenient access by the vehicle occupant. The preferred holder comprises a sheet of flexible material having closable pairs of holder pockets arranged thereon and coupling strips attached to opposed edges of the sheet. In use, the sheet is placed about the sun visor with coupling strips coupling the edges of the sheet to hold snugly to the visor so that corresponding pockets are presented respectively above and below the visor for access by the vehicle occupant.

11. A holder adaptable for coupling with the sun visor of a vehicle for holding solid objects such as audio tape cassettes, cartridges, compact disks, or the like, the visor presenting respectively opposed, upper and lower faces, and inner and outer edges, the visor being pivotal about a generally axis generally parallel to and adjacent the outer edge between upward and downward positions, said holder comprising:
-
a sheet of flexible material presenting respectively opposed outer and inner surfaces and first and second opposed coupling edges, said outer surface further presenting first and second zones; a plurality of walls of flexible material coupled with said upper surface for forming a plurality of object-holding pockets, each of said pockets presenting an object removal-and-insertion opening, said pockets being arranged with at least one pocket located in each of said zones; means for intercoupling said coupling edges for snugly coupling said holder about the visor with said inner surface in contact therewith so that said sheet generally conforms to the shape of the visor and for locating said first and second zones and said respective pockets respectively adjacent the upper and lower faces of the visor; and further including means for releasably preventing shifting of the visor from the upward position toward the downward position. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
