Abstract
A flexible magnetized holder with pockets for accessories such as pens, tissues, or the like is provided which allows for convenient placement on and removal from ferromagnetic surfaces such as locker doors and refrigerator doors. The holder preferably includes a flexible fabric material, a flexible sheet of non-ferrous material having permanently magnetized particles dispersed throughout the sheet, and means mounting the fabric material to the magnetic sheet for forming a pocket therebetween.
Claims5
An accessory holder for holding accessory articles and for magnetically and releasably coupling with a ferromagnetic surface, said holder comprising:
- flexible magnetic material having opposed front and back faces for magnetically and releasably coupling with the ferromagnetic surface with said back face adjacent thereto and for flexibly conforming to variations of the ferromagnetic surface in order to maximize the effective area of adjacency between said back face and the ferromagnetic surface relative to the total surface area of said back face;
- fabric material including a front wall;
- and
- means coupling said fabric material to said magnetic material for forming said fabric material into a desired configuration for defining an article-receiving pocket between said front face and said front wall,
- said back face of said magnetic material presenting a surface area at least as great as the surface area of said front wall for providing sufficient surface area to ensure secure coupling with the ferromagnetic surface, and for cooperating with the ferromagnetic surface when magnetically coupled therewith for maintaining said desired configuration of said fabric material.
The accessory holder as set forth in clam 1, said fabric material being sewn to said magnetic material.
