A portable organizer which includes a foldable case having an interior
compartment is disclosed. The case may have a zipper along its periphery.
Located within the compartment are various holders for securing a wide
variety of personal organizational items such as business cards, notepads,
an identification card, etc. Also located within the compartment is an
adjustable clamp which may be used to grip a personal data assistant
device. The clamp includes an upper bracket, a lower bracket, and an
elastic member attached to the brackets. The lower bracket may be secured
to the case. The upper bracket should not be attached to the case.
Covering the elastic member is a piece of material sewn or otherwise
attached to the case. The cover acts as a guide in order to maintain the
clamp in place. A personal data assistant, such as a miniature electronic
device or PALM PILOT may be gripped by the clamp by extending the upper
bracket upwardly so that the device may rest on the lower bracket and
against the covering member. The upper bracket is then released so that
the upper bracket grips the device and holds it in place. Rubber or foam
pads may be placed on the upper and lower brackets where the device
contacts the brackets so that the device is not scratched or otherwise
damaged by the brackets.
