Hands-free holder which will hold an airline ticket, an identification, credit cards and cash while worn around a user's neck

Abstract

The present invention is a holder for retaining documents which are necessary to board a means of public transportation, and which holder enables the documents to be retained in a manner wherein the documents can be easily verified by an examining agent and removed from the holder by the examining agent, while at the same time enabling the holder to be worn around a user's neck so that the user's hands are free to carry objects. The holder consists of a retaining body having a closed bottom and closed sidewalls and an open top so that an airline ticket can be retained in the open top so that it is readily accessible to be removed by the ticket agent at the time the passenger boards the airplane. The holder also has at least one plastic retaining means on one side so that the plastic retaining means is sealed against the holder on all of its edges except for one edge such as the top which is open so that a photo identification means such as a driver's license can be retained in the clear plastic sleeve so that the airline ticket agent can see the photo identification means to verify the passenger's identity before permitting the passenger to board the airplane. The holder also retains a strap so that the holder can be worn around the user's neck so that the user's hands are free to carry luggage or hold a child's hand or carry a baby.
