Abstract

A dual function bracelet is formed of a first layer of a resilient flexible material shaped with a width-wise arc; and a set of first tick marks disposed on a bottom surface, the first tick marks being spaced and indicative of standard length increments. The first layer presents a linear orientation in an extended configuration, and presents a coiled orientation when in a wearable configuration initiated by deforming the width-wise arc. The dual function bracelet is dimensioned to encircle a wearer's wrist in the wearable configuration, providing a decorative function. Additionally, the dual function bracelet presents a ruler in the extended configuration, allowing the dual function bracelet to function as a measurement device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A dual function bracelet comprising:
 a first layer formed of a resilient flexible material shaped with a width-wise arc; and   a set of first tick marks disposed on a bottom surface, the first tick marks being spaced and indicative of standard length increments;   wherein the first layer presents a linear orientation in an extended configuration, and presents a coiled orientation when in a wearable configuration initiated by deforming the width-wise arc.   
     
     
         2 . The dual function bracelet as in  claim 1 , wherein the bottom surface is defined by a convex side formed by the width-wise arc, and a top surface is defined by a concave side formed by the width-wise arc. 
     
     
         3 . The dual function bracelet as in  claim 2 , wherein the first layer is formed of a metal. 
     
     
         4 . The dual function bracelet as in  claim 3 , wherein the top surface is a surface of a second layer formed of a material selected from the group consisting of fabric, leather, silicone, and plastic, the second layer having a decorative appearance. 
     
     
         5 . The dual function bracelet as in  claim 4 , wherein the bottom surface is a third layer, the third layer being formed of a material selected from the group consisting of fabric, leather, silicone, and plastic. 
     
     
         6 . The dual function bracelet as in  claim 4 , wherein the decorative appearance consists of one or more of ornamental designs, logos, words, phrases, and colors. 
     
     
         7 . The dual function bracelet as in  claim 2 , wherein the first layer is formed of a plastic material. 
     
     
         8 . The dual function bracelet as in  claim 7 , wherein the bottom surface is a surface of the first layer. 
     
     
         9 . The dual function bracelet as in  claim 1 , wherein the set of first tick marks define a ruler in inches. 
     
     
         10 . The dual function bracelet as in  claim 9 , further comprising a set of second tick marks disposed on the bottom surface at an opposing side to the set of first tick marks, the second tick marks being spaced and indicative of standard length increments, and defining a ruler in centimeters. 
     
     
         11 . The dual function bracelet as in  claim 1 , wherein the set of first tick marks define a ruler in centimeters. 
     
     
         12 . The dual function bracelet as in  claim 2 , wherein the first layer is formed of a silicone material.
