Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a protective case for delicate objects and, in particular, for portable objects such as mobile phones, glasses, remote controls for electronic home appliances, or any other objects that, either because of their very nature or the material of which they are made, require protection against banging or scratching.
  • Stiff covers are used nowadays to protect this kind of delicate portable objects.
  • the drawback of stiff covers or cases is that they take up considerable space when they are not in use, which happens to be a significant nuisance.
  • the new protective case for delicate objects has been created in order to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, since its construction is such that it facilitates its storage and ensures an adequate protection of the object contained in its interior, thus enlarging its life expectancy.
  • this protective case for delicate objects comprises a tubular body formed from circular knitted fabric, preferably from smooth stitch, whose purpose is to accommodate in its interior the object intended to be protected.
  • the lower end of this tubular body is provided with a fine seam for closing said end and, the upper end is provided with a mouth for the introduction of the object intended to be protected in the interior of said tubular body.
  • This mouth is provided with an elastic section for facilitating its closure and for preventing undesired exit of the item contained in its interior.
  • the tubular body may be formed from natural materials, such as cotton, etc., or otherwise, with synthetic materials, such as polyester.
  • synthetic materials such as polyester.
  • the selection of the materials depends upon the type of object for which the case is intended; although in accordance with the invention the tubular body is preferably formed from smooth circular knitted fabric.
  • the elastic section defined in the mouth of the case may be formed from circular knitted fabric in whose manufacture elastic materials have been included, this making it unnecessary to subsequently add an elastic, which would increase manufacturing and handling costs.
  • the case has a lined interior responsible for providing the object accommodated in its interior with a greater protection.
  • Said protecting layer can be made of either, a protective cushioning lining, a humidityproof lining, a non-slipping lining or their combination.
  • the tubular body may optionally have on its outer surface decorative motifs defined in the fabric itself that shapes the tubular body. These motifs may be either, stamped, embroidered, inlaid or, in short, defined or fixed to the case by any other given means.
  • the objects that can be protected by this case are, for instance, mobile phones, glasses, remote controls for electronic home appliances and any other portable objects.
  • the size of the case will depend on Lhe size of the object intended to be protected.
  • cases can be easily folded for storage when not in use.
  • the invention consists of a protective case for delicate objects, comprising a tubular body (1) formed from circular knitted fabric, an elastic section (2) suitably dimensioned for matching the mouth (3) defined in one of the ends of the tubular body (1) and a fine seam (4) that closes in a permanent fashion the opposed end of said tubular body (1).
  • the elastic section (2) facilitates the closure of the mouth (3) preventing accidental exit of the product intended to be protected that is contained inside the case.
  • the case includes an interior lining (5) responsible for providing a greater protection to the object intended to be protected.
  • Said protective lining may be made of a protective cushioning lining, a humidityproof lining, a non-slipping lining or their combination.
  • the case may be provided with hanging means, such as a cord.
  • the case may be provided on its outer surface with motifs (6) defined in the fabric itself that shapes the tubular body (1).
