SPILL-RESISTANT POUCH

Abstract:

A spill-resistant pouch is attachable to a belt and has a pocket having spaced proximal and distal walls when worn on the belt of a user. The pocket has an upper opening for receiving objects within the pouch. The upper opening, when not subjected to loading stresses, normally defines a predetermined dimension extending between the proximal and distal walls, the pocket normally being deformable along the predetermined direction in response to forces applied by objects within the pocket on the distal wall. A rigidifying structure is provided within the pocket for substantially maintaining the predetermined dimension of the upper opening by preventing relative movements between the proximal and distal walls, whereby objects within the pocket are prevented from falling out through the upper opening due to excessive deformation of the distal wall relative to the proximal wall while providing unhindered access to items within the pouch.
