Abstract
A watertight container, comprising a rigid watertight box connectable by a wrist strap to limbs or other members of a human or animal body, to permit carrying of an object contiguously and safely to an arm, a leg, or the neck, the object preferably being small size articles of value or utility or both particularly in situations of water immersion, engaging in sporting activities, and because of the watersealing feature of the box which is provided with suitable gaskets, seals to the anatomical suitability and the strength of the wrist strap housing the box.
Claims18
Watertight container, fastenable to limbs and similar members, consisting of a rigid box (32,132, 232, 332) inserted into a case or holder (14) integral with a wrist strap (12), wherein the holder (14) is as resilient as the wrist strap (12) and completely surrounds the box itself (32,132, 232, 332) and is provided with an opening for a forced inlet of the box (32, 132, 232, 332) in the case or holder (14) and the rigid box (32,132, 232, ;
- 32) is comprised of two portions (50,150, 250, 350;
- 52, 152, 252, 352), partially fitted with each other and tightly pressed by the resilient holder (14), surrounding the rigid box itself, provided with at least a sealing gasket interposed in the fitting area between the two portions (50, 150, 250, 350;
- 52,152, 252, 352), so that the resilience of the holder (14) contributes in sealingly close the rigid box (32,132, 232, 332).
A watertight container fastenable to a body part, comprising
- a rigid box (32, 132, 232, 332) inserted into a resilient case or resilient holder (14) integral with a resilient wrist strap (13),
- said holder (14) being as resilient as the wrist strap (12) and completely surrounding the box itself (32, 132, 232, 332) and being provided with an opening for a forced inlet of the box (32, 132, 232, 332) into the case or holder (14),
- said rigid box (32, 132, 232, 332) being comprised of two portions (50, 150, 250, 350;
- 52, 152, 252, 352), each partially fitted with each other and defining a fitting area between said two portions and tightly pressed by the resilient holder (14), surrounding the rigid box itself, provided with at least a sealing gasket interposed in the fitting area and enclosed between the two portions (50, 150, 250, 350;
- 52, 152, 252, 352), so that the resilience of the holder (14) contributes in sealingly closing the rigid box (32, 132, 232, 332), and
- couplers including snapping coupling means (58, 158, 158a, 258, 358;
- 60, 160, 260, 360) for engaging the two portions (50, 150, 250, 350;
- 52, 152, 252, 358) of the rigid box (32, 132, 232, 332).
