Abstract

A modular toy bracelet that is easily constructable, interchangeable, lightweight, adjustable, and fashionable. The bracelet comprises a plurality of connecting cases, with each connecting case having a top portion and a bottom portion removably attached at the back side to form an interior cavity when the top portion is closed over the bottom portion. The bracelet is preferably used to hold in the interior cavity articles such as cosmetics, edibles, and other small items. The bracelet comprises a plurality of connecting cases that are removably and interchangeably linked together on the lateral sides. The plurality of connecting cases with different shapes, colors, and designs may be interchangeably and hingedly linked to each other by mixing and matching the different connecting cases.

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A modular toy bracelet comprising:
 (a) a plurality of connecting cases wherein each connecting case has a top portion and a bottom portion, the portions removably attached in a closed position defining an interior cavity; and   (b) the plurality of connecting cases being removably linked together wherein the bottom portion of each connecting case includes an engaging means on a first lateral side and a second lateral side, and the engaging means on the first lateral side of the connecting case is detachably engaged to the engaging means on the second lateral side of another connecting case to construct the toy bracelet.   
   
   
       2 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 1 , wherein the connecting case is interchangeable with a differently shaped connecting case when constructing the toy bracelet. 
   
   
       3 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 1 , wherein the connecting cases are adjustably linked together via the engaging means of the connecting cases to fit a user. 
   
   
       4 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 1 , wherein the interior cavity is for holding articles. 
   
   
       5 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 1 , wherein the top portion is hingedly attached to the bottom portion of the connecting case on a back side for movably opening the top portion of the connecting case for allowing access to the articles in the interior cavity. 
   
   
       6 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 1 , wherein the top portion of each connecting case is interchangeable with the top portion from other connecting cases to provide different exterior features. 
   
   
       7 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 1 , wherein the engaging means of the first lateral side of the bottom portion is a protruding member with two protruding structures with a perpendicular crossbar attached between the two protruding structures. 
   
   
       8 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 7 , wherein the second lateral side of the bottom portion has a support member with a protruding structure having an aperture to removably receive the crossbar of the protruding member. 
   
   
       9 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 1 , wherein the top portion has a latch on a frontal side. 
   
   
       10 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom portion has a catch on the frontal side wherein the latch from the top portion snaps over the catch in the closed position. 
   
   
       11 . A modular toy bracelet comprising:
 (a) a plurality of connecting cases wherein each connecting case has a top portion with a latch and a bottom portion with a catch wherein the latch and the catch are engaged in a closed position defining an interior cavity for holding articles; and   (b) the plurality of connecting cases being removably linked together wherein the bottom portion of each connecting case has a first lateral side with a protruding member and a second lateral side with a support member, and the protruding member of the first lateral side of the connecting member is removably received by the support member of the second lateral side of another connecting case to construct the bracelet to attach to a wrist.   
   
   
       12 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 11 , wherein the connecting case is interchangeable with a differently shaped connecting case when constructing the toy bracelet. 
   
   
       13 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 11 , wherein the top portion is hingedly attached to the bottom portion of the connecting case on a back side for pivotally opening the top portion of the connecting case for allowing access to the articles in the interior cavity. 
   
   
       14 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 11 , wherein the protruding member on the first lateral side has two protruding structures with a perpendicular crossbar attached between the two protruding structures. 
   
   
       15 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 11 , wherein the supporting member on the second lateral side has a protruding structure having an inwardly cylindrical aperture to removably receive the crossbar of the protruding member. 
   
   
       16 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 11 , wherein the top portion of each connecting case is interchangeable with the top portion from other connecting cases to provide different exterior features. 
   
   
       17 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 11 , wherein the connecting cases are adjustably linked together to fit a user. 
   
   
       18 . A modular toy bracelet for holding articles comprising:
 (a) a plurality of connecting cases wherein each connecting case has a top portion that is hingedly attached to a bottom portion on a back side for pivotally opening the top portion to access the articles, the top portion having a latch and the bottom portion having a catch on a frontal side wherein the latch and the catch are engaged in a closed position defining an interior cavity for holding the articles; and   (b) the plurality of connecting cases being removably linked together wherein the bottom portion of each connecting case having a first lateral side with a protruding member and a second lateral side with a support member wherein the protruding member has a crossbar to be hingedly received by an aperture of the support member of the second lateral side of another connecting case to construct the bracelet to attach to a wrist of a user.   
   
   
       19 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 18 , wherein the connecting case is interchangeable with a differently shaped connecting case when constructing the toy bracelet. 
   
   
       20 . The modular toy bracelet of  claim 18 , wherein the top portion of each connecting case is interchangeable with the top portion from other connecting cases to provide different exterior features.
