A carrier for securely retaining one or more objects is provided, cut and scored from a unitary blank of paperboard or similar foldable sheet material so that it can be folded into two overlying panels and then manually fastened so that one panel is characteristically bowed away from the other to form an interior space. This bowed panel has at least one u-shaped mouth opening into this interior space, cut through the bowed panel face and large enough to allow an object to be loosely inserted through it with one-hand and retained therein for storage or transport. This carrier can then be integrated into the design of another product. Also, the carrier can be attached to the surface of selected articles with an adhesive strip applied to the back of the carrier or by using a standard pronged fastener that extends through openings provided in the carrier's back panel or by some other suitable attachment device. Additionally, a top panel, a cover panel and a cover fastening tab can be provided to cooperatively overlie the front of the carrier and further secure the portion of the object that extends from the mouth opening across both its face and top sections thereby assuring secure storage and transport without regard to the carrier's physical orientation.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A carrier for receiving and securely retaining at least one object, the carrier comprising, a body formed from a unitary sheet of foldable stock having an interior face and an exterior face and having two lateral edges, two opposing edges, a transverse bottom scoreline between said opposing edges facilitating folding to subdivide the body into a back panel and a front panel, a tab for fastening said front panel to the back panel such that the distance from the bottom scoreline to a fastening edge of the front panel is greater than the distance from the bottom to scoreline to an interior point on the back panel to which the fastening edge is fastened, the front panel thus bowing outwardly from the back panel, and a pocket mouth opening means cut into the front panel and providing an opening which is generally parallel to said bottom scoreline and biased open by the overlying outwardly bowed relationship of the front panel to the back panel.
