Definitions

  • the objective of the invention is the provision of a device for the storing, safekeeping and transport of small objects on a person by the device holding the object and wrapping a body part.
  • Small objects can be difficult or worrying to transport if the items are not secure or if the person transporting the objects does not consider them to be secure.
  • objects are known to be lost from a persons pocket by a number of means such as holes forming in the pockets or by objects being pulled from the pocket by a means such as the removal of a handkerchief pulling the object from the pocket without the knowledge of the person so that the object can become lost.
  • clothing may not have suitable pockets or means to hold a small required object.
  • An example of this could be running or exercise clothes where a person may need to have a key to gain or regain entry to a house or automobile.
  • agitation and stress can be caused in some persons by them not knowing or remembering where an item is stored, say for example in which pocket a ticket was stored and transported.
  • the basic embodiment of the invention is a device designed to hold, store or transport an object close to the body.
  • the device holds the object and wraps around the body part to enable the securing of the object to a persons body.
  • the said device is comprised of at least three effective layers of flexible material arranged in a way so that:
  • Effective layers (which may themselves be made of layered material) have a length that fully or partly goes around a part of the body, and so; 2. the first effective layer of the material that rests on the skin on a persons body, or on clothing or cloth or other material on a person's skin, and;
  • a second effective layer of material rests on all or part of the first effective layer and contacts and restricts all or part of an object (or objects) placed fully or partly between the first and second layers, and so; 4. the first effective layer and the second effective layer are connected together in a manner along one side of their length so that the connection stops the object moving past the connection in one direction along the body, and so; 5. the third effective layer rests on all or part of the second layer and may rest on part of the first layer and/or part of the object not covered by the second layer, and so; 6. the first layer and the third layer are connected together along the sides of their length opposite to the connection of the first and second layers in a manner so that the connection stops the object moving past the connection along the body so that the opposing connections stop movement in either direction along the body, and so that;
  • the object is stopped from moving around the body in the direction of the wrap by one or more of the following ways; by friction in the layer material, by curvature of the body part, by pressure exerted by the layers, by a connection or connections between the first and second layers, and so that;
  • the first, second and third layers are connected together so that the layers are restricted and held in the same relative position.
  • the simplest embodiment of the application of the invention may be the folding of a length of cloth into the three layers as so described and the wrapping of the length around the body and the fastening of the layers by means of a device such as a safety pin.
  • Objects can be inserted between the layers prior to, or subsequent to, the fastening of the device to the body part.
  • the layers In practice it is likely that it will be most practical for the layers to be held in their relative position by a means such as by sewing the layers together at the required location.
  • Overall the device could be long with, for example, a number of wraps of material being made around the wrist before the three layer holding section contacts the wrapped layers and the other end of the device wrapping a number of additional times around the body part and over the section where the object is contained.
  • connection devices could be safety pins or small hooks attached to elastic straps that hook into the material or loop and hook technology such as is commonly known as Velcro or other methods that may be used to connect sections of cloth or flexible material with these methods of attachment applicable to a number of embodiments of the invention.
  • the device could be short with an interconnecting section of material connected to the ends of the three layers to complete the wrap around the body part. The interconnecting material could be stretchy to facilitate the snug and effective fitting of the device to the body part and the holding and securing of the object in the device.
  • a simple sewn embodiment would involve the use of a single length of stretchable material folded according to the invention and sewn at one point to form a continual loop which is then slid over the body part with the elasticity of the material holding the device firmly wrapped around the body part.
  • the elasticity of the material would allow the object to be easily inserted, secured and removed as required when the device was on the body.
  • Particular connections could be made to facilitate the storage of particular objects. For example an opening could be made or allowed to remain in the connection between the first and second layer or the first and third layers to allow the notched section of a key to protrude to facilitate the comfortable storage of the key.
  • the first and second layers could be connected at certain points to make separation pockets.
  • Connections could be along the line of the body part and could make individual areas for storing objects such as tickets, identification, bank cards and data storage cards.
  • An example of the benefit of this could be for travelers and photographers where they can securely store photographs away from valuable cameras and other valuables that may be lost or stolen.
  • Moisture absorbent material such as a stretch toweling could be used for one or all of the layers to serve as a sweatband.
  • Water tolerable or water proof fabrics could be used for each of the layers so the device could be used to store items while in wet and/or moist environments such as a swimming pool.
  • the device could also be used as a safety device to improve visibility of the user with the incorporation of illuminated areas on one or all of the layers by such means as reflective paints or fabrics. Straps could be incorporated into the structure of the device to provide an alternative means of securing items such as the wrist strap of a mobile phone or a set of keys on a key ring.
  • Additional layers, loops, hooks or other fastening devices such as clips attached to or between any of the effective layers could also be incorporated for additional security of a stored item.
  • Either or all of the effective layers could be made from rectangular sections or cut and/or folded and constructed- in other shapes. Fabrics with different material properties and/-or colors and patterns and/or logo branding could be used for one or all of the effective layers and additional features.
  • To insert and or remove objects when the device is in use one method would be to pull back the third effective layer which will be under tension and held in its relative position at a certain point (or points). The object is then inserted and/or removed from between the first and second effective layers with the first and second effective layers also under tension. The third layer would then be returned to its original position.
  • Figure 1 shows a cross section of three effective layers and an object with the large crosshatched area (10) representing a limb or other body part, (15) representing the first effective layer close to the limb or other body part, (20) representing the second effective layer resting on an object (25) and (30) showing the connection area where the first and second layers are connected fully or partly along their length which restricts movement of the object in the direction of the arrow (35).

  • Connections (30) and (45) can be produced by a fold in the fabric or by joining the two meeting pieces of fabric either by sewing or some other means.
  • connection in the context of certain aspects of the invention should be taken as a definition term only. In certain embodiments the word connection simply defines a change between effective layers.
  • the fold points which effectively creates the first, second and third layers are still referred to as a connection or connection area despite the fact that the connection could move depending on the exact manner in which the material is folded, and that, if the material was laid flat, no physical connection point would be evident.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a cylinder (55) representing a limb or other body part with a band (60) wrapped around the periphery of the limb or body part. Arrows (65) and (70) represent the direction of travel along the body. Arrow (75) represents the direction of wrap of the device.
  • a summary of key aspects of the invention as they relate to Figures 1 and 2 is given by the following:
  • the effective layers (which may themselves be made of layered material) have a length that fully or partly goes around a part of the body, and so ;
  • the first effective layer of the material rests on the skin on a persons body, or on clothing or cloth or other material on a person's skin, and so:
  • a second effective layer of material rests on all or part of the first effective layer and contacts and restricts all or part of an object (or objects) placed fully or partly between the first and second layers, and so:
  • the first effective layer and the second effective layer are connected together in a manner along one side of their length so that the connection stops the object moving past the connection in one direction along the body, and so;
  • a third effective layer rests on all or part of the second layer and may rest on part of the first layer and/or part of the object not covered by the second layer, and so;
  • the first layer and the third layer are connected together along the sides of their length on the opposite edge to the connection of the first and second layers in a manner so that the connection stops the object moving past the connection along the body so that the opposing connections stop movement in either direction along the body, and so that;
  • the object is stopped from moving around the body in the direction of the wrap by one or more of the following ways; by friction in the layer material, by curvature of the body part, by pressure exerted by the layers, by a connection or connections between the first and second layers, and so that;
  • the first, second and third layers are connected together so that the layers are restricted and held in the same relative position.
