Patent ID: 8132711

Claim:
An emergency information container comprising: a flexible enclosure having a first sheet and a second sheet, each sheet having a plurality of edges, where the first sheet and the second sheet are sealed together on all edges except one; and a flap on the unsealed edge of the enclosure to enable a user to insert emergency information and to use the flap on the unsealed edge of the enclosure to enclose the emergency information inside the enclosure by sealing the flap to a rear surface of the enclosure; wherein the dimensions of the enclosure are such that the enclosure is capable of holding at least one standard-size sheet of paper (8½″×11″), when folded; wherein the rear surface of the enclosure and an outward facing surface of the closed flap are coated with an adhesive for affixing the sealed enclosure to a desired surface such that the flap and the rear surface of the enclosure are adhered to the desired surface, thereby making the flap inaccessible; and wherein the adhesive used to seal the flap of the enclosure closed is less tacky than the adhesive used to adhere the sealed enclosure to the desired surface so as to cause the flap to be opened upon removing the enclosure from the surface to which it is affixed, thereby reducing the amount of time needed to retrieve the emergency information contained therein.
