Definitions
- the present invention concerns a holder (receptacle) in accordance with the claims.
- leg pocket Another problem with the storage of rules in the above mentioned leg pocket is that the rule also risks falling out of the leg pocket when the user sits in certain positions. For example, this problem may occur when people are sitting on a chair or the like.
- a further problem with the storage of rules in leg pockets is the risk of damage to chairs or other types of furnishings, seats and the like for example in vehicles when entering or exiting the vehicle.
- the need to connect the holder to multiple objects is, for example, necessary to connect the holder to a strap, belt, to suspenders/shoulder straps, to a button, to a leg pocket or to other objects or the like to which the holder is desired to be connected.
- a variant of a rule holder is also disclosed in WO2010146093.
