Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a carrying case specifically designed to hold an Epinephrine Pen. The Pen is distributed in a thin plastic casing. The casing is not durable, and the top of the casing comes off.

[0002] It remains desirable to have a Pen carrier that is durable and easily attached to a belt or clothing. The carrier should also be safe in mobile containers such as purses and suitcases.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The present invention is a durable, lightweight case for transporting an EpiPen. The Pen will fit snugly into the heavy cloth pouch which has two hard plastic stays to help prevent breakage. The carrier includes a clip for allowing it to be attached to a belt, purse, briefcase, or other semi-rigid surface. It also includes an opening for threading onto a belt loop. The carrier is closed by a sturdy, yet easy to open velcro strip.
