BACKGROUND

1. Field
This disclosure generally relates to bracelets, wallets and purses. More particularly, it relates to a wrist wallet, which is a wallet that can be worn on the wrist, forearm, arm or ankle.
2. Description of the Related Art
Valuables and personal necessities are typically carried in purses and wallets. However, purses and wallets can become a nuisance in places where one has to be active, such as a nightclub or at a social event or party. The owner of the wallet or purse may not always be mindful of the location of their belongings, namely their purse or wallet.
Carrying a purse or a wallet can become quite awkward and unwieldy, particularly in instances when the wearer is going to be active. For example, carrying a purse or wallet while dancing can become awkward and cumbersome. On the other hand, leaving the purse or wallet on a table, a seat, or a random corner leaves it open to theft or misplacement.
The wrist wallet described herein allows the wearer to carry their valuables on their forearm or wrist at all times. This gives the wearer piece of mind and allows freedom without concern when dancing or being active.
There are several types of wrist wallets, sometimes referred to as arm purses. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,227,424 to Roegner is a wrist wallet capable of being opened in order to access essentials, such as cash, credit cards, and other personal belonging.
Similarly, U.S. Pat. No. 6,443,341 to Rittman discloses a wrist wallet with a hook and loop fabric attaching means which is secured around a person's forearms adjacent to the wrist. However, in each of these instances, the wearer must completely remove the wrist wallet or purse in order to access the cash, credit cards, or other personal necessities contained therein which presents quite an inconvenience.
On the other hand, U.S. Pat. No. D515, 805 to Jones discloses a forearm-mounted wallet. And U.S. Publication No. 2004/0206791 to Rogers discloses a backpack-shaped wrist pack. In both of these instances, the wearer is able to access their essentials without having to remove the entire device off their wrist. However, in both cases, the storage pouches are quite large and ungainly, and are relatively complex in the manner of strapping and attaching to the wearer's forearm.
Other references disclose various wrist wallets or pouches, such as U.S. Pat. No. 5,368,571; U.S. Pat. No. 5,755,366; U.S. Pat. No. D442,365; and U.S. Pat. No. 371,675. However, in each of these instances, the wrist wallet or pouch is not streamlined whatsoever, is bulky and cumbersome, and has the appearance of a traditional wallet or purse. Thus, the aesthetic appearance of these wrist wallets does not meet the practical or fashion standards of club goers, partiers and active people.
Accordingly, there is a continuing need for a device that not only meets the practical needs of a wearer but the desire to be fashionable and stylish according to the wearer's fashion sense. Not only is there a need for the product to hold essential items securely in the compartment, for it to be wearer friendly, and for the product to be comfortable, but it also needs to allow the wearer to express a personal sense of style.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The wrist wallets described herein give the wearer the ability to carry essentials securely on their wrist, forearm or ankle. This enables the wearer to have piece of mind knowing their belongings have a less likely chance of being lost, stolen, or misplaced. Although the wrist wallet is described in this disclosure as typically worn on the wrist, it should be understood that the wrist wallet is not limited to being worn on the wrist and may be worn on other parts of the wearer's body, such as the ankle.
The wrist wallets described herein allow the wearer freedom of movement when dancing or being active. The wrist wallets described herein allow the wearer's hands and shoulders remain free from obstruction instead of being encumbered by a traditional purse or a wallet. The wrist wallets described herein also allow the wearer to easily access their belongings with just one hand by having a compartment to carry essential items that is accessible without removing the entire device from the wearer's wrist. The wrist wallets described herein allow the wearer to attach and detach the entire device easily and securely with the use of just one hand.
The wrist wallets described herein provide the wearer the ability to express his/her fashion sense or style. The wrist wallets described herein may be designed to resemble a bangle, bracelet or armband and that are more aesthetically pleasing and fashionable than compared to previously available wallets worn on the arm.
The wrist wallets described herein include several aspects or facets that can be used independently, although they may be employed together to optimize their benefits. All the foregoing operational principles and advantages of the wrist wallets will be more fully appreciated upon consideration of the following detailed description, with reference to the appended drawings.
Although certain embodiments of the wrist wallets are shown and be described in detail, it should be understood that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the appended claims. The scope of this disclosure is not limited to the number of constituting components, the materials thereof, the shapes thereof, the relative arrangement thereof, etc., and are disclosed simply as an example of an embodiment.
Referring now to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a wrist wallet, also known as a wristlet, is disclosed and is configured for carrying essentials and personal items while providing a fashionable bracelet or bangle to wear. Essential items or documents include objects that a carrier of the objects deems necessary to have on their being and cannot afford to lose. Essential items or documents include, but are not limited to: currency such as bills, coins, and the like; checks such as personal checks, bank checks, traveler's checks, and the like; cards such as identification cards/driver's license, debit cards, credit cards, smart cards, loyalty cards, phone cards, and the like; and other items such as car keys, house keys, apartment keys, hotel keys, jewelry, medication, and other difficult to replace or valuable items.
An embodiment of a Wristlet 20 is worn on the wrist or arm/forearm and resembles a fashion bangle/bracelet, or an armband comprising Band 1 and Wallet 6. The exterior of Band 1 may be made out of a flexible or non-flexible, rigid or non-rigid, pliable or non-pliable, stretchable or non-stretchable, durable materials including, but not limited to leather, polyester, suede, polyprene, vinyl, cloth, fabric, plastic, metal, metal alloy, wood, and/or combinations thereof. The exterior of the Wristlet 20 may be configured to be used in water, such as a pool or the beach, and may be made of a waterproof material, such as for example plastic or neoprene. In some embodiments, the entire Wristlet 20 may be made of a waterproof material and can be submerged in water without damaging the Wristlet 20.
Lining 2 may be made of fabrics that wick away sweat from the wearers skin, such as in a sweatband material. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the Wristlet 20 may be made of a mesh material or other breathable material to help cool the wearer's wrist. Other examples of materials may include, but are not limited to, synthetic fabrics such as neoprene or polyester blends, and other materials such as suede, satin, velvet, and the like. Lining 2 is attached to the interior of Band 1 in some form or manner, such as by stitching along the outer edges of Band 1, the use of glue, and/or a combination thereof. The Lining 2 is preferably cut similar in size and shape to the Band 1 for a finished look.
FIG. 1 depicts an embodiment of Band 1 having three panels. The three panels may be separate panels that are attached together, or a single panel with three sections. Panel 1 a has countless design possibilities and can be made of flexible or non-flexible, rigid or non-rigid, pliable or non-pliable, stretchable or non-stretchable, durable materials including, but not limited to, materials like leather, polyester, neoprene, suede, polyprene, cloth, fabric, plastic, metal, alloy, vinyl, wood, and/or combinations thereof. Panel 1 a can embody numerous design elements or decorative ornaments, including, but not limited to, materials like beads, gems, stones, crystals, fabrics, metals, lace, rivets, eyelets, closures, or include artworks, logos, stitching, engraving, embossing, and/or combinations thereof.
In some embodiments, the design elements or decorative ornaments are interchangeable to suit the changing mood or style of the wearer. The decorative ornaments can be removably attached to Panel 1 a by a plurality of different methods, such as VELCRO® or other hook and lop fasteners, zippers, buttons, adhesives, clips, magnets, fasteners, or a unique locking system. For example, the Panel 1 a may have a base onto which interchangeable decorative ornaments, each having a connector complementary to the base, can be attached.
Panel 1 a may be cut in various shapes, sizes, and/or forms depending on style and design. For example, in FIG. 1 the Panel 1 a has curved cutouts 1 d on the front and rear sides. The curved cutouts 1 d are shown as generally semi-circular in shape, however, the cutouts may have a variety of different shapes, such as triangular shaped cuts or multi-sided cuts. In addition to providing stylistic enhancements, the cutouts may provide clearance so that the wristlet does not restrict the wearer's arm and wrist movement.
With reference to FIG. 2, the backside of Panel 1 b is attached to at least a portion of the backside of Wallet 6 in some form or manner, such as by stitching along Front 40, Side 42, Side 44, and Back 46. FIG. 2 also illustrates the Wristlet 20 in a closed configuration where Panel 1 a overlaps Panel 1 c. Band 1 forms an open sleeve, which fits over the wearer's arm designed to mimic the circumference of the wearer's arm/forearm, and may taper inward from Back 46 to Front 40 to create a snug and secure fit on the wearers arm/forearm. In some embodiments, the bottom edge of Panel 1 a along Side 42 may be strengthened by a rectangular Strip 30 which is sewn in between Panel 1 a and Lining 2 to create a more rigid look and feel, as shown on FIG. 2. Panel 1 c is situated under Panel 1 a and can be cut in various shapes, sizes, and/or forms and can be designed to match the shape of Panel 1 a, or may have a shape independent from Panel 1 a.
The Panel 1 a may be detachable from the Wristlet 20 and readily replaceable with other panels having different sizes, shapes, designs or ornaments. The Panel 1 a may be removably attached to the Wristlet 20 by a plurality of different methods, such as VELCRO® or other hook and loop fasteners, zippers, snap buttons, clips, magnets, etc. The interchangeable Panel 1 a advantageously allows wearers to customize the fit of the Wristlet 20 to the wearer's wrist size and shape, as well as allowing the wearer to display different designs or ornaments depending on the situation or mood of the wearer.
FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 depict a Wristlet 20 in an open configuration. Coupler 3 of Panel 1 a and Coupler 4 of Panel 1 c can be of any type of coupling device including, but not limited to, hook and loop type, magnets, snaps, VELCRO® or other hook and loop fasteners, and/or combinations thereof. A flexible material such as leather may be used for Band 1 and Wallet 6. As shown on FIG. 4, a type of coupling device may include a First Magnet 22 that is stitched in-between Panel 1 a and Lining 2. The First Magnet 22 is secured on top of Second Magnet 23, which may be stitched in-between Panel 1 c and Lining 2. The magnetic coupling devices are used to secure Wristlet 20 on the wearer's arm or forearm.
With continued reference to FIG. 3, an Extension 5 can connect Panel 1 a to Panel 1 c. The Extension 5 allows the Wristlet 20 to be held around the wearer's arm prior to fastening the coupling device. Extension 5 can be made of materials including, but not limited to elastics, fabric, plastic, pliable metals such as aluminum or the like. The Extension 5 may be stitched to Panel 1 a and Panel 1 c, or attached in some other form or manner. Band 1 is adapted such that Panel 1 a, Extension 5, and Panel 1 c creates an enlarged open sleeve to provide easier attachment to the wearer's wrist or arm/forearm and added security.
In some embodiments, the wristlet may have a sliding tongue (not shown) instead of an Extension 5. A tongue made of a rigid material, such as plastic or metal, may be attached to Panel 1 c. A channel can be disposed in Panel 1 a that can accept the tongue. The tongue slides in and out of the channel, changing the size of the open sleeve of the wristlet. The end of the tongue may be configured such that the tongue does not fall out completely from the channel.
An embodiment of Wallet 6 is shown on FIG. 5. The Wallet 6 may be made out of a flexible or non-flexible, rigid or non-rigid, pliable or non-pliable, stretchable or non-stretchable, durable materials including but not limited to leather, polyester, neoprene, suede, polyprene, cloth, fabric, plastic, metal, alloy, vinyl, wood, and/or combinations thereof. Wallet 6 may comprise Flap 7, Cover 8, and Divider 9 with Pocket 10 and Pocket 11. Wallet 6 is designed to hold essential items including, but not limited to, driver's licenses, credit cards, cash, etc. Flap 7 may be folded substantially about the line A-A in the direction of arrow B onto Cover 8 securing the essential items placed inside Pocket 10 and Pocket 11.

Wallet Lining 12 may be made of materials including, but not limited to, silk, cotton blend, synthetics fabrics, suede, leather, plastic, vinyl, or combinations thereof. Wallet Lining 12 may be secured or attached along the edges of Wallet 6 by any known method, such as by stitching. Wallet Lining 12 may be used for aesthetic purposes and may advantageously help items slide during inserting or removing essential items such as an ID, cash, and/or credit cards in Pocket 10 and Pocket 11.
Wristlet 20 may be adjusted according to the size of a wearer's wrist by adjusting Coupler 3 and Coupler 4 accordingly. Some embodiments of Coupler 3 and Coupler 4 can be seen on FIG. 6 and FIG. 7.
FIG. 6 depicts the use of a hook and loop type of coupling device, such as First fastener 24 of Panel 1 a that mates with a larger coupling device Second fastener 25 of Panel 1 c. The First fastener 24 and Second fastener 25 may be VELCRO® hook and loop fasteners. The First fastener 24 may secure to different portions of Second fastener 25 to accommodate for adjustments in sizes. For example, when the First Velcro® 24 is secured to the top portion of Second fastener 25, the Band 1 of Wristlet 20 is larger than when the First fastener 24 is secured to the bottom portion of Second fastener 25.
Another embodiment of Coupler 3 and Coupler 4 is shown on FIG. 7. Panel 1 a comprises Snaps 31 a, 31 b, 31 c, and 31 d that can mate with complementary Snaps 33 a, 33 b, 33 c, and 33 d of Panel 1 c. The Wristlet 20 may be secured to a wearer's arm or forearm by mating all four snap pairs together. Band 1 may be adjusted according to the size of a wearer's wrist by only mating two horizontally aligned snaps of Panel 1 a with two horizontally aligned snaps of Panel 1 c. For example, in FIG. 7 the largest size of Band 1 is attained by coupling Snap 31 a to Snap 33 c and Snap 31 b to Snap 33 d. To improve the fit and comfort of Wristlet 20 on the wearer's wrist, Back 46 may be slightly wider than Front 40 to account for the typically tapered shape of a wearer's wrist or arm/forearm.
Other embodiments of Wallet 6 are shown on FIGS. 8-11. FIG. 8 illustrates a Display Window 32 on the Flap 7 that is preferably made of clear or translucent material, including, but not limited to, plastic, resin, or vinyl type materials. The material properties of the Display Window 32 allows for displaying essential documents and items while providing protection and security of the essential documents contained within. The use of Display Window 32 can be appreciated when the wearer needs to show their identification without having to take it out of Wallet 6, in situations such as showing proof of age and/or identity to a store clerk, a bartender, a club bouncer, etc. Display Window 32 may be stitched or attached in some form or manner along the edge Front 40, Side 44, and Back 46 in the interior of Flap 7 with an Opening 34 to insert essential item such as Identification Card 50.
Flap 7 may be folded substantially about the line A-A in the direction of arrow B onto Cover 8 securing essential items placed inside Pocket 10, Pocket 11, and Opening 34. Flap 7 may be secured or attached to Cover 8 by a coupling device, such as by mating Snap 26 of Flap 7 with Snap 28 of Cover 8, as shown on FIG. 8.
FIG. 9 shows another embodiment depicting the exterior side of Flap 7 comprising a holding Pouch 36 for storing items such as keys, cash, coins, etc. Pouch 36 is desirably formed from a pliable, stretchable, and durable material including, but not limited to, leather, fabric, elastic, plastic, and the like. Pouch 36 may be adhered to the exterior side of Flap 7, or attached in some form or manner, such as stitching. The Pouch 36 may cover a portion of the Flap 7, as illustrated in FIG. 9, or may cover substantially the entire exterior side of Flap 7. Pouch 36 may also be made from waterproof materials in order to protect keys or other objects that might contain electronic gadgets that are susceptible to damage if exposed to moisture or wetness. For example, the Pouch 36 may be configured to hold and secure a cellphone, music player, or other personal electronic device. The Pouch 36 may be made of an elastic material so that different devices having a variety of shapes and dimensions will fit in the Pouch 36. In some embodiments, the Pouch 36 may be at least partially transparent so that the screen of the electronic device can be seen through the Pouch 36.
An embodiment of Pouch 36 may comprise spaced apart walls with front wall 36 a, sidewalls 36 b and 36 c, bottom wall 36 d, and top flap 36 e. Essential items inside Pouch 36 are secured by Flap 36 e that may attach or adhere to 36 a by any type of coupling device including, but not limited to, snaps, VELCRO® or other hook and loop fasteners, zippers, magnets, elastics, and the like.
Other uses of Wallet 6 may include, but are not limited to, holding a cigarette case, business cards, or contact information for young children. In some embodiments, the Wallet 6 may contain other features, such as Mirror 38 on the interior or exterior of Flap 7, as shown on FIG. 10.
FIG. 11 is another embodiment of Wallet 6 having increased storage capacity. The Wallet 6 in FIG. 11 has additional storage in pocket 60 and pocket 61, which are separated by divider 79. Wallet 6 is adapted so that the Flap 7 can be folded substantially about line A-A in the direction of arrow B onto Cover 8. Flap 7 and Cover 8 can be further folded about line C-C in the direction of arrow D onto Cover 58, thereby reducing the Wallet 6 in the folded configuration to substantially one third its size and half its length compared to the unfolded configuration. Essential items may be secured inside Wallet 6 by folding Flap 67 about line E-E in the direction of arrow F and mating Snap 26 of Flap 67 onto Snap 28 located on the front side or exterior of Wallet 6, as shown on FIG. 11
FIG. 12 depicts an embodiment of Wristlet 20 comprising Compartment 48 stitched, attached or otherwise formed on the interior of Band 1. The Compartment 48 may hold items, such as for example a Lipstick Case 52 or feminine hygiene products. The Compartment 48 is may be made out of flexible and elastic material, including but not limited to stretch fabrics, nylon, spandex, and the like. The material may be configured to stretch as the item is inserted and compress around the item to hold it in the Compartment 48. In the illustrated embodiment, the Compartment 48 is an elongate channel with an open end and a closed end. The closed end may prevent the item from being pushed too far into the Compartment 48, where it may become difficult to remove. In some embodiments, however, both ends of the Compartment 48 are open.
FIG. 13 depicts other possible embodiments of Band 1. In this embodiment, Band 1 is made of less flexible or pliable materials, such as metal, wood, plastic, etc. Band 1 is attached to Wallet 6 by Elastic 55 in some form or manner along Side 42 and Side 44. Elastic 55 may allow the opening or sleeve of Band 1 to expand, when the wearer is inserting his or her arm/forearm, and return back to its natural state, thus securing Wristlet 20 on the wearer's arm/forearm. Lining 2 is may be made of fabrics that wick away sweat from the wearer's skin including, but not limited to, synthetic fabrics such as neoprene, polyester blends, or other fabrics such as suede, satin, velvet, or the like. Lining 2 is attached in some form or manner to the interior of Band 1 to provide comfort and to wick away sweat and can be cut in various shapes, sizes, or forms depending on style and design of Band 1.
