Description

Field of Invention The present invention relates to a decorative wrist fashion accessory which can be used, for example, as a purse.
Background of the Invention Fashion accessories for the wrist or other like parts of the body are known, and may include utilitarian features. Illustrative items of such nature are, for example, disclosed in United States Patents Nos, 4,757,588; 4,462,116 and 5,141,141. Such fashion accessories, however, are of relatively unappealing appearance, and have a uniform construction.
Summary of the Invention The present invention provides a decorative accessory formed of bunched fabric construction which can be positioned tightly in place, is of novel design and which includes an integral pocket which permits the accessory to serve as a purse or receptacle for small items.
According to the present invention, a decorative accessory includes an elastic band surrounded partially along its circumference by bunched fabric of relatively large dimension, and a tubular length of fabric of appreciably less dimension surrounding the remaining portion of this band. In this way, the accessory can encircle a chosen part of the body, such as the wrist. An opening may provided partially along the bunched fabric of relatively large dimension, and a closure, such as a zipper, can be provided. A closable pocket, therefore, is formed so the article can be worn about the wrist of the user during athletics activity or the like and hold such personal items as tissues, house keys, etc.
Brief Description of the Drawings The present invention will be described further, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 illustrates an embodiment of the invention in front elevation; Fig. 2 illustrates the embodiment of Fig. 1 from a side view; Fig. 3 illustrates the embodiment, showing the zipper closure partially open; and Fig. 4 illustrates the invention being worn about the wrist of the user.
Description of a Preferred Embodiment Fig. 4 illustrates the decorative fashion accessory 10 of the present invention in use as a wrist purse. As illustrated in Figs. 1,2 and 3, the fashion accessory of the present invention includes an elastic band 12 shown in phantom in Fig. 2; and the internal elastic band is surrounded partially by bunched fabric 14 of relatively large dimension. The present invention is envisioned to be used with any style and form of fabric with any pattern.
The fabric can be of plain colour, or can be decorated with stripes, polka dots or any other design.
As illustrated, the bunched fabric 14 of relatively large dimension does not fully encircle the elastic band 12, but a tubular length forming a ring 16 of fabric of appreciably less dimension surrounds the remaining portions of the band 12. In this way as illustrated clearly in Fig.4, the large dimension portion may be oriented outwardly from the wrist and arm, enhancing comfort and avoiding interference when the arm is moved.
The large dimension fabric portion 14a has an opening 18 closed by suitable closure such as zipper 20 best seen in Fig.3.
In this way, a pocket can be provided so that personal articles such as tissues, house keys or the like can be placed within the opening 18 and secured during activity.
The present invention is not intended to be limited by the details of the embodiment described above, but by the appended claims, and the invention includes and provides a purse having an elasticated integral loop generally as hereinbefore described or comprising any novel part or feature disclosed herein or in the accompanying drawing or in the abstract.
