On the other hand, they should be as simple as possible for the owner of the container can optionally be opened and closed to keep objects in the container stow or remove from it.

In the wristlet bags according to the known prior art, the problem is simultaneous fulfillment of these two requirements is not satisfactory solved.

Presentation of the invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a wearable on the forearm Container that is easy to operate for opening and closing and is theft-proof at the same time.

The solution to the problem is the subject of the independent claim.

According to the invention, a container that is portable on the forearm is characterized by a unyielding three-dimensional shape of the container, which is an undesirable Prevents the container from stripping from the forearm.

Due to the intransigent design of the three-dimensional shape of the bracelet container according to the invention becomes, if the container the forearm tight encloses, a surprising stripping of the container for the purpose Theft is largely impossible, in contrast to the previously known Wristlet bags with elastic, resilient means for attaching the bag to the Forearm of the owner. In the container according to the invention, the Anti-theft protection by preventing the possibility of unauthorized removal of the container from the forearm or from the wrist of the owner. By doing the container according to the invention is wear-proof on the forearm, it remains for the carrier of the bag is still easily accessible and can be used to stow away Objects in or for removing objects from the container the carrier of the container can be operated easily. In contrast, at previously known valuables bags with elastic means for attaching the Bag on one part of the owner's body realizes theft protection by that the bag is hidden as possible, e.g. under the outer clothing. It goes without saying that opening and closing such hidden bag is cumbersome and tedious for the carrier of the bag.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bracelet container made from an essentially stiff, strong, non-compliant material. Suitable materials for the manufacture of the bracelet container are, for example stiff leather, such as used to make shoes or briefcases strengthened and / or stiffened fabric, stiff synthetic leather, Cardboard, plastic-like plastics or similar stiff, non-compliant materials.

In contrast, the opening and closing of zippers in bags in GB-A 2 290 941 tedious. To open and close the Bags of these bags, which are made of flexible, bellows-shaped fabric, an end of the zipper must always be held with one hand so that the glider of the zipper can be operated with the other hand. The bracelet container according to the invention has similar advantages over the previously known wristlet bags made of flexible material even when using other closure means, e.g. in the form of push buttons, buttons with assigned Buttonholes, Velcro fasteners, etc.

A bracelet container according to this preferred embodiment of the invention has compared to the known wristlet bags further advantages in terms of appearance. Due to its well-defined, solid three-dimensional shape the specifically designed outer appearance of the bracelet container according to the invention not changed, regardless of whether he is now with objects to be recorded is filled or empty. In contrast, the soft, flexible bags hang one known bag according to the type described in GB-A 2 290 941 limp in undefined shape on the wrist when the pouch is empty. As soon as the bag is filled, the bags take the outline shapes of those contained in them Objects. This can meet the high aesthetic requirements of Wristband containers not to be fulfilled, since these include also to serve decorative purposes have and are used as fashionable accessories. Also instructs Bracelet case with a firm, rigid three-dimensional shape compared to known wristlet bags also have advantages in terms of the available storage volume of the container: due to the solid, case-like three-dimensional shape of the Wristband container according to this embodiment of the invention can be used with this much larger storage volume is made available than with the known wristlet bags with tubular or soft pockets.

A bracelet container according to the invention is preferably with an access opening to the interior of the container, which the optional storage of Allows objects in or removing objects from the container.
