  • the wallet shown comprises two complementary plastics mouldings 10, 12 which can be fitted together in mutually sealing relationship to form a generally flat container of the profile shown in Figure 1.
  • the two mouldings 10, 12 are connected at their ends by a flexible hinge arrangement 14 which lies entirely outside of the sealing edges of the two mouldings so that the provision of the hinge 14 does not detract from the seal between the two mouldings when the wallet is closed.
  • various holding means such as a clip 16 for bank notes, a recess for credit cards and a compartment (not shown) for coins.
  • holding means for a watch of a type known per se, which comprises a watch unit, including the watch movement, hands and face, rear cover and watch glass and a readily detachable and replaceable strap unit compris ⁇ ing the two parts of a watch strap connected with a frame adapted to receive the watch unit.

Abstract

Un portefeuille dans lequel on place de l'argent ou des objets de valeur, pouvant être porté par exemple par des baigneurs ou des personnes ayant des activités sportives comprend un corps rigide comportant deux parties complémentaires (10, 12) reliées par une charnière souple (14), de sorte que lesdites parties (10, 12) peuvent être disjointes afin d'ouvrir ledit portefeuille et pliées ensemble autour des charnières afin de refermer ce dernier. Dans la position fermée, les deux parties (10, 12) sont étanches l'une par rapport à l'autre afin d'empêcher la pénétration de l'eau, du sable, de particules, etc. On peut fixer ledit portefeuille à un cordon ou à une chaîne, ce qui permet de le suspendre autour du cou ou de la taille ou de l'attacher au poignet. Ledit portefeuille peut comporter une alarme actionnée si la chaîne ou le cordon est cassé ou détaché du portefeuille par un voleur.
