US Patent:

51783118, Jan 12, 1993

Filed:

Oct 31, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/606624

Inventors:

Timothy B. McBride - Washington DC

International Classification:

A45F 302

US Classification:

224191

Abstract:

Disclosed is a map holder, which can have a ski area trail map and/or related printed information therein for use by a skier. The map holder includes a string or elastic to be positioned around the neck of the skier, with a map supporting member attached to the string or elastic. The map or other information is exposed in the map supporting member. The string or elastic is sufficiently long (or can be stretched to a sufficient length) so that the map can be read by the skier or a companion without the string or elastic being removed from around the neck of the skier. Thus, without removal of the string or elastic from around the neck of the skier, the map can be read by the skier or companion or placed in a protected, non-visible location (e. g. , inside a ski jacket worn by the skier).
