TECHNICAL FIELD The disclosed invention relates to blueprint and document holders.
BACKGROUND Background of the Invention Motivation
Inventor was motived by the constant reminder that if something of value is not attached to you, it may easily be misappropriated. So after having to pay for misplaced or misappropriated “scaled drawings” on numerous occasions I invented a way to keep better track and control of my drawings. Also, the present method of double wrapping your drawings with what is universally known as a rubber band can often times “tear” and “cut” away at your valuable scaled drawings. I have always needed a document holder that would allow me to work hands-free so that I can focus on my work. And because I often work outside, I have always needed a document holder that was also water repellent as well.

Referring to the figures, like numbers refer to like component parts with respect to each of the embodiments.
The detailed description set forth below is for exemplary embodiments and is intended to explain the present invention. It is to be understood that a variety of other arrangements are also possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
To better explain the exemplary embodiments disclosed below, the following words or phrases are used for describing various elements of the exemplary embodiments, including:
Lobster Claw-type clasp: may include the following clasps known in the various industry by specific labels, such as lobster claw type clasps, single or double push lock type clasps, snap bolts or bolt snaps (interchangeably used), snap hooks and carabiners, among other types of claps. The lobster claw type clasps may also include many variations, including standard lobster claws with or without jump rings, tear drop with or without jump rings, trigger clasp, lobster claw with swivel, infinity or figure-eight shaped lobster claw, oval cast clasp, dolphin shaped, heart shaped, among the many varieties available.
Referring now to FIG. 13, one embodiment depicts a clasp or connector 10 comprising a connector clasp 12 and a safety clasp 14 coupled to the connector clasp 12. The connector clasp 12 comprises a body 120, a movable or displaceable element 122, and means 124 for moving or displacing the element 122. The safety clasp 14 comprises a pivotal clasp 140 and a receiver 142 for receiving and coupling with the clasp 140. The safety clasp 14 is mounted to the connector clasp 12 so that the safety clasp 14 is adjacent the element 122. Thus, the connector clasp 12, generally, and the element 122, specifically, functions as the primary means for retaining a portion of jewelry, a fixed ring, or other similar component used for securing objects or items, and the safety clasp 14, generally, and the clasp 140 and receiver 142, specifically, functions as the secondary means for retaining the portion retained by the element 122. The element 122 may be generally described as a selectively movable or displaceable element or member, or more specifically, a selectively movable or displaceable leg of the connector clasp 12.
More specifically, the safety clasp 14 may comprise a latch clasp, the latch clasp comprising a receiver 142 coupled to the connector clasp 12. A joint 144 may be coupled to the connector clasp 12 spaced from the receiver 142. An arm 146 may be coupled to the joint 144 and selectively movable for coupling to the receiver 142 in the frictionally impinged manner described above, and aligning the arm 146 adjacent, and in some circumstances parallel, to the displaceable element or member 122 of clasp 12. The receiver 142 may have a variety of forms or shapes, including the general form of a projection or protrusion depending from the connector clasp 12 after coupling. More particularly, the projection or protrusion may have the form of a ball, knob, block or other geometric configuration that allows the receiver 142 to frictionally impinge and engage the narrow end of the clasp 14, and more particularly, the narrow portion and/or end of the arm 146 and the aperture 148 formed at the narrow portion and/or end of the arm 146. As is depicted in FIG. 13, the figure-eight clasp may frictionally impinge with the receiver 142 at a distance away from the free end (such as near the middle of the figure-eight), and the non-figure eight may as well, usually dictate by the circumference and diameter of the receiver 142. The joint 144 may comprise a variety of forms, including the use of any variety of hinge or hinges, or hinge-equivalent(s), that allows the clasp 14, and more particularly the arm 146, to selectively move between an open (non-engaged) position and a closed (engaged) position.
It is also envisioned that several methods of making, fabricating or manufacturing the aforementioned embodiments may be utilized. For instance, a method for making a clasp or connector may comprise the step of coupling a safety clasp 14 to a connector clasp 12 or the types and variations described above, wherein the safety clasp 14 may be adhered, soldered, welded or otherwise affixed to the connector clasp 12 in a manner consistent with the configurations described above.
It is further envisioned that another method of making a clasp or connector may comprise the steps of forming a connector clasp 12, forming a safety clasp 14, and then coupling the safety clasp 14 to the connector clasp 12. The safety clasp 14 may be coupled to the connector clasp 12 by adhering, soldering, welding or otherwise affixing to a portion or the connector clasp 12.
It is further envisioned that another method of making a clasp or connector may comprise the steps of acquiring a connector clasp and acquiring a safety clasp, which may be accomplished by making each clasp or by purchasing each clasp, or by making one of the clasps and purchasing one of the clasps. After acquiring the clasps, the safety clasp 14 is coupled to the connector clasp 12, which may be accomplished by adhering, soldering, welding or otherwise affixing the safety clasp 12 to the connector clasp 12.
Related to the aforementioned methods described above are various methods for making an item of jewelry. In one such method, a method for making an item of jewelry comprises the step of coupling a connector clasp 12 having a safety clasp 14 coupled thereto to a segment of the jewelry, wherein the segment may comprise an end or a segment intermediately disposed between the respective ends of the Velcro document storage mechanism. In another embodiment, a method for making an item of jewelry comprises the steps of coupling a safety clasp 14 to a connector clasp 12, such as by adhering, soldering, welding or otherwise affixing the safety clasp 14 to the connector clasp 12 in a manner consistent with the configuration(s) described above, and coupling the connector clasp 12 to an end of the jewelry.

Velcro Document Storage Compartment Strap Belt Mechanism Comprising of:
Referring to the figures, like numbers refer to like component parts with respect to each of the embodiments.
In this present invention, a Velcro document storage compartment strap belt mechanism is provided with shoulder straps that can be completely detached. Detachable straps afford the user the option of carrying document items by hand and permit the item to be transported by the occupant.
The separable Velcro fastener afforded by the present invention illustrates its usefulness as documents holder. A typical illustrative use is shown in FIG. 14 in which is shown its application to a belt. A layer 7 of loop fabric is secured to one end of a belt on its outer face and a layer 8 of hook fabric is secured to the other end on its inner face. In use the layer 7 is pressed into contact with the layer-8 in desired position of adjustment and the layers will hook firmly together. A belt of this character is no longer provided with a buckle, holes or loop, and it has the great advantage of permitting of booking at an unlimited number of points along each layer of fabric 7 and 8.
The hooked fabric 8 or the looped fabric 7 may be produced in various ways. woven as relatively narrow bands having a width required for the intended use. In that event a number of such bands may be woven simultaneously on a loom of the type used for weaving ribbon. Alternatively, they may be woven as a band of considerable width which may be slit to form bands of desired width. In either event the bands may be of indeterminate length from which desired lengths may be cut at will.
Respectively, there is known a separable fastening device comprising two elements, in that case, two layers of woven fabric of the velvet type in which the loops have been cut to form hooks. The hooks of these layers of fabric are formed by a thread of artificial material, such as nylon or similar materials, so that they are capable of preserving their shape after cutting the loops to form hooks. The preservation of the shape of the hooks is obtained by a thermal treatment appropriate for the particular artificial material used.
It will be understood that when two layers of this type are pressed into face to face relation a substantial percentage of the hooks engage with one another, and the two layers are thus hooked one to the other. Separation requires a force of a considerable magnitude when it is attempted to release a large number of hooks at once but separation may be quite readily effected by progressively peeling the layers apart. Hooking or connecting devices of this character are adapted to be used, for example, as closing devices for clothing, blinds or the like, thus replacing slide fasteners, buttons and other attachments of this type, particularly when a flexible closure, which is invisible and can be opened easily, is desirable.
It has been found that the use of one layer of fabric of the hooked velvet type, as described above, with a layer of fabric of the loop-type, such as terry or uncut velvet, provides greatly improved resistance to separation of the two layers of fabric.
In a preferred embodiment, this invention provides for a heavy duty commercial grade Velcro document storage compartment strap belt, and also providing for an attached hardened plastic D-Ring coupler in which the Velcro document storage compartment strap belt is fed through the D-Ring coupler (position D. of FIG. 17) and then overlapped in the opposite direction thereby allowing the Velcro-tip end of the Velcro document storage compartment strap belt to mate with and join to the velvet fabric body of the Velcro document storage compartment strap belt in the opposite direction.
In this present invention, the predominant way of providing for detachment of shoulder straps of document items is by D-ring members that are affixed to the body of the Velcro strap. The D-ring members are usually made of hardened plastic material.
The D-ring member (FIG. 17) is fabricated by bending a length of plastic stock of a diameter of, for example, 0.150 in. or 0.180 in. The D-ring member has a base leg 14, a pair of side legs 16 and 18, which extend upwardly and convergently toward each other from rounded junctures 20 and 22 with the base leg, and an arcuate head 24 that is joined to the side legs at junctures 20 and 22. The spacing X between the junctures 20 and 22 is less than the inner diameter D of the neck, thus forming a neck opening that is constricted relative to a head opening defined within the head 24. The length of the base leg 14 is established by the width of a loop of webbing or leather (not shown) by which the D-ring member is attached to the body of a nylon strap item. D-ring members having a different form of base for a different form of attachment to the nylon strap item can be configured with heads and necks similar to that of the illustrated embodiment. The head need not be arcuate but is preferably curved to facilitate shaping it by bending.
The herein mentioned D-ring unit for use with capture hooks having a D-ring member formed of a hardened plastic material and having a base portion, a pair of side leg portions joined to opposite ends of the base leg portions and converging toward each other from base junctures with the base portion, and a substantially arcuate head portion joined to the side at head junctures.
Thus, in summary, it can be seen that what is provided in this invention is an improved version of a prior art plan holder FIG. 1 that is both functional and decorative, and that is fully capable of withstanding and complementing the daily duties of a contractor.
