Description

DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY
The present model relates to a kit or container for a tobacco pouch, made of plastic materials with characteristics of waterproofness and impermeability, provided with suitable means for fixing it to key areas of clothing, especially bathing suits. or, secondarily, complementary means to fix or suspend it directly from the body.

 This container is specially designed to transport in exceptional situations, when taking a bath, at the beach, at the swimming pool, in the countryside, etc ... in which the user is in uniform 18Gere and devoid of any accessory or complement to be able to carry with it the objects which it proves essential to keep on oneself with sufficient guarantees not to lose them; and with guarantees guaranteeing that the container or necessary will not open accidentally, with / the impossibility of doing so in water, when the user is about to bathe.

 This model is also designed to put inside the container the necessary personal utensils: money, identity documents, keys and, in particular, the packet of cigarettes and the lighter.

 In the prior art there are modals of cases with similar characteristics with regard to their conditions of closure and waterproofing; but these are reduced containers, generally cylindrical in shape to ensure their closure and which must necessarily be worn, taking into account their characteristics6 and their format, hung on the neck of the user and therefore cannot be put only small objects such as coins, banknotes or keys.

 The purpose of this model is to improve these conditions, necessarily with the characteristics mentioned, its equipment and its distribution making it possible to store there, in addition to said objects, a packet of cigarettes of the current or generic format and a lighter of the kind of those said. utilities or which one disposes of after use, with the possibility of being able to introduce into the own enclosure of the packet of cigarettes, had to back up an identity card, notes, labels, tickets or the like which should neither be folded neither crumpled.

 One of the characteristics of the kit or case is that it is constituted by an assembly comprising a hollow body and a key cover which adjusts thereon and is provided with a snap closure; this cover is also hollow and has a general configuration in a parallelepiped format of reduced width and with semi-circular or rounded ends to allow better adjustment or pressure closure by latching snap that can / can be manually untied by exerting lateral traction on an opening element.

 Another feature of the model was that the body of said case was internally divided; it includes a central compartment for the cigarette packet and two others - compartments, one at each end, of different dimensions; one specially designed for coins or metallic objects and the other narrower, for notes or notes that can be folded or crumpled, the partition of which is pierced with a suppld: slow opening. airc to facilitate the removal of objects housed there.

 Another detail of the body of said kit or case is that it comprises on one of its faces, the dorsal face for example, a frame in the form of a clip or clamp for the pressure stapling of the latter to the edge of a garment for example, and especially a swimsuit, and which can just as easily take place / slip to slip a ribbon, a cord or a belt / thin allowing to attach it the kind to an appropriate area / body of the user: at the waist, around the neck, at the ends or elsewhere.

 Another detail of the model is that the cover is a hollow body which fits over the previous one in the manner mentioned above, and which is provided with internal means of hermetic closure only over the opening of the body, thus making it waterproof and impermeable.

 Another detail of this cover is that, optionally and in addition, there are incorporated or recessed externally two small precision instruments, preferably a timepiece and another of the compass or other type.

 One of the characteristics of the invention is that said covering means have, on one of their ends, a removable articulation element / member although fitted and mounted in its function of opening and closing the cover. covering the container in question.

 This articulation dementia is constituted by two parallel shoulders, by way of ears, projecting outside and starting from the outer edge of one of the ends of the container1 and / provided inside each of them with nipples or male ends. projecting inward and entering it in a determined proportion although separated from each other.

 Another detail of said articulation hinge is that the cover has a hollow central core defined by two sides projected in a convergent manner, and at the apex homologous to that of the ears, and connected by a cross member or transverse tie rod. On the sides it has indentations or notches at mid-thickness of the wall, the upper part of which is open and the bottom iron md and which, concentrically at this last end, includes passage recesses where pressure / small nipples come to stemboiter internal ears provided on the container body.

 The specific fitting or interlocking of these parts and licit lilacs of the plastic material of which they are made implies a permanent tension preventing the tilting part connected to the cover from escaping or being digested from the anchoring which they provide for the totons while that the latter play the role of hinges or axes of rotation in the holes for the articulation of said cover.

 Another characteristic detail of the model is that it comprises, at the opposite end, stapling or closing means cm taking a broken tab projecting from the outer edge of said cover in a plane parallel to the adjacent edge of the container and following a broken proyection towards the eiterieur as a tab or pulling finger for the opening of the clasp, while the adjacent plane of said tab has an opening or recess.rectangular taking the place of female embedding on a prismatic tooth or ratchet or full wedge boss provided on the resulting edge of the own end of said container.

 The rigidity generates by the plane parallel to the adjacent edge of the tongue where the nesting opening is located, and the incidence of penetration of the boss or full projection or edge provided on the container, guarantee the tight fit. iron meture with a permanent pressure pocketing any fortuitous opening, with the exception of a manual pulling action requiring a certain effort and being exerted on the broken tab of the end of said tongue.

 Another characteristic of said lid is that it has a reentrant skirt or pan inside, concentric to the internal plane of the lid, which penetrates relatively inside the container when the lid is closed, and that between the wall external of said skirt or flap and the perimetric wall of the cover is configured a peripheral housing with a grooved bottom comprising an O-ring of elastic material which comes to bear with a certain pressure, when the cover is closed, on the upper edge of the mouth of the container ensuring that the anchoring or fixing of the iron .-! eture is carried out with / a certain effort and under a determined safety pressure, while the sealing of the edge Device of said closure is guaranteed by the application of the aforementioned O-ring.

 Another detail of the Model is that at the bottom of the enclosure delimited by said flap or skirt are clamps for anchoring the lighter, arranged according to perpendicular, parallel and opposite fasteners or lugs, of cylindrical section, interior - laughing beveled or partially hollowed out in order to configure an arcuate cavity where the pressure-fitting bri-quet fits.

 Another additional detail of the Model is that the said container, on its dorsal face and near its upper edge, has flat ears or flanges facing outwards and on which holes have been drilled serving as eyelets for a cord , ribbon or cord for 7 hanging the container. on the neck of the individual or in another appropriate place of his anatomy.

With regard to said illustrations, it can be seen that / the case as a whole is referenced under -1- (FIGS. 6 and 7) / and that it is of generally rectangular shape and oblong plane, with semi-circular ends,
This case -1- comprises a body -2- and a cover -3- interlocked by assembly with groove and tongue or tongue with pressure, of a male profile -5- on the body -2- and d '' a female profile -6- on the cover -3- which are respectively provided with an embedding rib -5a- and a groove or mortise / female -6a- to ensure the assembly or fitting under pressure / of the cover -3- on the body -2- by closing it dtan-- che, the plastic material making it also impermeable and waterproof to submersion in water.

This body -2- is compartmentalized inside by a central hole -3- occupying more than two thirds of said body -2- and two other spaces -9- and -10-, one at each end, the latter being -more narrow than the first and having an opening -11- nausea on the partition dividing the central compartment -8-.

 Outside the body -2- and on the dorsal wall of said body is an elastic fixing means -4- in the form of a clip or clip, which snaps onto the lower edge -4a by configuring a holding loop at the top place of passer-by or sinking -4b-

 The pressure exerted on the point -4a- makes that an effort is necessary to open it, while the fortuitous opening proves impossible, and the upper part -4b- allows to slide / a cord -12 - (fig. 8), a small strap, a ribbon or another to hang the case on an appropriate area of the user's body.

 Inside the cover -3- are located, centered and -proximity of the longitudinal walls, two Slastic tabs / -7- or pressure leaf springs allowing an object to be nested there by holding it in between.

 In FIG. 9, we can see, by way of example, that between the leaf springs -7- there is retained a utility lighter -> i- or which is discarded after use, preferably tan say that in compartment -8- is housed the package of these garettes -z-; in compartment -9- there are coins, keys or other P- and in -10- banknotes1 tickets or other similar objects, preferably.

 Inside said cover -9- it will be possible to embed, optionally, pressure instruments - watch and compass -respectively -13- and -14- (fig. 1o) having, as it should be, the quality of watertight to submersion.

 It is undeniable that the goal is, in principle, that recommended, although in practice we can find other uses depending on the needs of the user.

 In addition, it has, on both sides of the clip -4- flying cuffs -t with holes or eyelets -113a- / to slide a hanging means to hang on the neck of the user, such as a cord or a string, ribbon or other -12-.

 Fixed means (fig. 14) have been provided at one end of said container (2) for the articulation of the cover, and at the other end has been fixed element (Fig. 15) for retaining therein or embed the closing means.

 The articulation means comprise two ears (114) pa parallel, projecting outside the rim (2a) of the container (2) and having, inside, nipples or cylindrical appendages (15) which face and penetrate in an appropriate proportion of, maintaining a distance proportional to the body of the element / articulation (16) rocking on them.

 On the opposite side is a wedge or ridge-shaped boss which configures a tab or must (21) for fitting / provided on the window (19) of the tongue (18).

 The cover (3) is also provided, at the ends respectively with those of the container (2), means (111) of articulation and other means (112) dc closing or stapling said cover (3 ) on the container (2).

 The articulation element (111) is formed by a core (16) projecting outside and slightly inclined downwards and it / is delimited by two parallel walls connected by a crosspiece (16a) and defined by a rounded lower edge , the outer sides being provided with a notch or notch (17a) ending in a through hole (17) concentric with the semi-cicular edge of the sides (16).

 These recesses (17) are housed on the pins or pivots / (15) of the lugs (114), between which the articulation1 takes place, said pivots (1529 recesses (17) allowing the rotation of said core (111) and of the lid.

 On the side opposite the cover (3), the clasp (112) is formed / by a flat tongue (18) having a vertical plane already adjacent and parallel to the outer edge (2a) of the body (2) of the container1 as well as a rectangular window (19) fitted at / pressure on the projection or sharp or raised boss (21) provided / on the edge (2a) in cotangent relationship with the tongue (18) and directly opposite the window ( 19) installation.

 The tongue (18) projects into a flying tab (20) and breezes outside serving as a traction element to open the cover, insofar as the rigid position of the tongue gives a certain elasticity of the material and the character in / overhang of the closure (112) or clasp, cause the embedding of aSrafaze to be carried out by pressure on the rigid projection or boss (21) of the container (2).

 Inside, the cover (3) has a skirt or flap / concentric (3a) relative to the perimeter edge of the cover (3) by configuring between the two the cavity of a perispherical groove (22) in which is housed a plastic O-ring (23) resting, in the closed position, on the edge (5a) or upper edge of the mouth (5) of the container (2) so that, when the cover (3) is closed and stapled by means of (112), the closure is ensured hermetically by making the case (1) tight and impermeable to any possible infiltration inside said container (2) when the latter is immersed in a liquid medium.
