  • Patent number: 4332338
    Abstract: A wallet is formed of inner and outer sheets of flexible material stitched together about three edges to define a paper currency receiving pocket. An elongate elastic strap has one end anchored near one transverse edge of the wallet and the opposite end of the strap passes between the flexible sheets of material and protrudes therefrom at the opposite transverse edge. The free end of the strap bears a pad with a multiplicity of minute hooks projecting therefrom. A corresponding pad has a fine, looped pile and is located on the outer surface of the wallet at the transverse edge at which the strap is secured. The two pads are mutually engageable both when the wallet is in a folded disposition for insertion into a trouser or coat pocket, and also when the wallet is unfolded and the strap extended to encircle the arm or leg of a user. The user is thereby able to carry the wallet secured about his or her limb while engaging in vigorous activity such as jogging or swimming.
