Devices for carrying personal apparatus on a limb

Abstract

A system for carrying apparatus for personal use for example portable sound reproduction apparatus, on a limb is disclosed. The system includes a bracelet adapted to fit around a limb of the user, a casing including a cavity shaped and dimensioned to receive the apparatus itself therein, and a cable or lead storage unit including a necked configuration around which one or more cables or leads may be wound for temporary storage. The casing and cable or lead storage unit can each be attached to the bracelet or attached directly to one another. The bracelet may be of slap bracelet construction.

1 . A system for carrying apparatus for personal use, which system comprises a bracelet adapted to fit around a limb of a user, a casing including a cavity shaped and dimensioned to receive the apparatus itself therein, and a cable or lead storage unit including a necked configuration around which one or more cables or leads may be wound for temporary storage, the casing and the cable or lead storage unit each being attachable to the bracelet and being directly attachable to one another. 
   
   
       2 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the bracelet is configured as a slap bracelet. 
   
   
       3 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein ends of the bracelet include slots or other configurations enabling the ends of the bracelet to be secured together so as to render the bracelet more positively attached around a limb of the wearer. 
   
   
       4 . The system according to  claim 3 , further including an additional elasticated elongate strip which is attachable between the ends of the bracelet. 
   
   
       5 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the bracelet is composed of a rubbery plastics material. 
   
   
       6 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the casing is a resilient relatively tight-fitting casing constructed and arranged to receive the apparatus and is composed of a material which is sufficiently elastic to enable easy insertion of the apparatus while holding the apparatus firmly once inserted. 
   
   
       7 . The system according to  claim 6 , wherein the casing is molded from silicon rubber. 
   
   
       8 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cable or lead storage unit has, to either side of the necked configuration, means for attaching the storage unit to the casing and to the bracelet. 
   
   
       9 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cable or lead storage unit is configured to provide at least one receptacle for receipt of at least one earpiece. 
   
   
       10 . A slap bracelet comprising an outer face which, when the bracelet is in coiled position, has formed thereon a resilient flexible casing shaped and dimensioned to receive apparatus for personal use and to hold the apparatus in place relative to the bracelet itself. 
   
   
       11 . A system according to  claim 2 , wherein ends of the bracelet include slots or other configurations enabling the ends of the bracelet to be secured together so as to render the bracelet more positively attached around a limb of the wearer.
