Abstract
An embodiment personal item management apparatus includes a wearable band having a fixed circumference that defines a first outer diameter; and a clasp coupled to the wearable band, the clasp having a second outer diameter that is less than the first outer diameter and being adapted to couple a personal item to the wearable band. In an exemplary embodiment, the ratio of the second outer diameter to the first outer diameter is about 0.4.
Claims19
A personal management apparatus, comprising:
- a wearable band having a non-adjustable, fixed circumference that defines a first outer diameter;
- and
- a clasp coupled to the wearable band, the clasp defining a second outer diameter that is less than the first outer diameter;
- wherein the wearable band comprises:
- a donut-shaped inner core;
- and
- a cover surrounding the inner core, the cover defining an outer surface;
- wherein a portion of the inner core of the wearable band is radially sandwiched between radially-spaced first and second portions of the outer surface of the cover of the wearable band;
- wherein the first portion of the outer surface of the cover of the wearable band defines the first outer diameter;
- wherein the second portion of the outer surface of the cover of the wearable band is generally circular in shape, and is sized so that the wearable band is adapted to be worn around a user's wrist and/or bicep;
- wherein at least the first portion of the outer surface of the cover of the wearable band extends continuously and uninterruptedly along the fixed circumference of the wearable band in its entirety;
- wherein a first inner region is defined by the cover of the wearable band;
- wherein the first inner region is generally circular in shape;
- wherein the clasp extends through the first inner region so that the wearable band extends around a portion of the clasp;
- wherein a second inner region is at least partially defined by the clasp;
- wherein the wearable band extends through the second inner region so that the clasp extends around a portion of the wearable band;
- wherein the cover of the wearable band further comprises a stitching having a circular shape,
- the stitching being adjacent the outer surface defined by the cover,
- the stitching defining radially-spaced first and second edge portions of the outer surface at which the stitching is adjacent the outer surface,
- the stitching forming a circular seam that in its entirety is spaced from the inner core in a parallel relation,
- the personal management apparatus being configured so that the parallel spacing between the circular seam in its entirety and the inner core is maintained.
18 more elements
A personal management apparatus, comprising:
- a wearable band having a non-adjustable, fixed circumference that defines a first outer diameter;
- and
- wherein the wearable band defines one or more outer surfaces, the one or more outer surfaces including at least a first outer surface;
- wherein a first portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band defines the fixed circumference and thus the first outer diameter;
- wherein a second portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band is sized so that the wearable band is adapted to be worn around a user's wrist and/or bicep;
- wherein the first portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band is radially spaced outward from the second portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band;
- wherein the first outer surface of the wearable band extends continuously and uninterruptedly along the fixed circumference of the wearable band in its entirety;
- wherein the one or more outer surfaces define(s) a first cross-section that is constant and the same at any point along the fixed circumference of the wearable band in its entirety;
- wherein the first cross-section is coplanar with the any point along the fixed circumference of the wearable band;
- wherein the wearable band is structured to ensure that the first cross-section is radially bounded between the second portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band and the first portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band;
- wherein the first outer surface of the wearable band is generally donut-shaped and defines a second cross-section, the second cross-section forming at least a part of the first cross-section, the second cross-section being radially extending, the second cross-section generally defining a circular shape that is constant and the same at the any point along the fixed circumference of the wearable band in its entirety;
- wherein the circular shape, which is defined by the second-cross section defined by the first outer surface of the wearable band, is coplanar with the any point along the fixed circumference of the wearable band, and extends radially outward from the second portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band to the first portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band, the circular shape being radially bounded by the second portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band and the first portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band;
- and
- wherein the wearable band is structured to ensure that the first cross-section, which includes at least the second cross-section, is constant and the same at the any point along the fixed circumference of the wearable band in its entirety.
