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.
Claims11
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;
- 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;
- and
- wherein the personal management apparatus further comprises a clasp coupled to the wearable band and adapted to couple a personal item to the wearable band.
