DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0016] With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, a wrist cover for carrying a
cellular phone in accordance with the present invention comprises a
body (10), a phone holder (20), an adjusting device (30) and a rim
cloth (40). The body (10) is made of resilient material, such as
cloth or woven material, preferably material for diving suit, and
has a ventilating layer (12) and non-slipping layer (11) mounted
respectively on two opposite sides of the body. The ventilating
layer (12) has multiple vents (121) defined in the ventilating
layer (12). Two wrist wings (13) are respectively formed on and
extend from two edges near the bottom of the body (10), and each
wrist wing (13) has a periphery.
[0017] The phone holder (20) is attached to the body (10) and
comprises a covering sheet (21) and a connecting tab (22). The
covering sheet (21) is attached to the ventilating layer (12) and
defines a holding space (211) between the covering sheet (21) and
the ventilating layer (12). An opening (212) is defined between the
covering sheet (21) and the ventilating layer (12) and communicates
with the holding space (211). In a preferred embodiment, the
opening (212) is defined at a position corresponding to the top of
the body (10) and separates away from the edges on which the wrist
wings (13) are formed. A first fastener (213) is mounted on the
covering sheet (21).
[0018] The connecting tab (22) is formed on and extends from the
top of the body (10) and has a periphery and a second fastener
(221) detachably connected with the first fastener (213) on the
covering sheet (21). With the connection between the first and
second fasteners (213,221), the connecting tab (22) partially
closes the opening (212). In a preferred embodiment, the first and
the second fasteners (213,221) on the covering sheet (21) and the
connecting tab (22) are male and female fasteners of an adhesive
strap, such as Velcro to allow the first and second fasteners
(213,221) detachably connecting with each other.
[0019] The adjusting device (30) is mounted on the body (10) and
comprises a connection strap (31) and an adjusting strap (32). The
connection strap (31) is connected to one of the wrist wings (13),
and the adjusting strap (32) is connected to the other wrist wing
(13) and is detachably connected with the connection strap (31).
The connection strap (31) has a loop (311) mounted on one end of
the connecting strap (31). The adjusting strap (32) has a free end
extending through the loop (311) on the connection strap (31) and a
T-shaped positioning tab (321) mounted on the free end. The
T-shaped positioning tab (321) engages with the loop (311) and
keeps the adjusting strap (32) from escaping from the loop (311) on
the connection strap (31). In addition, the adjusting strap (32)
further has an adhesive strap (32), such as Velcro mounted on the
adjusting strap (32) at a side opposite to the corresponding wrist
wing (13).
[0020] The rim cloth (40) is mounted around peripheries of the body
(10), the wrist wings (13) and the connecting tab (22) to securely
connect the phone holder (20) with the body (10). In a preferred
embodiment, the rim cloth (40) is made of a resilient material,
such as LYCRA containing 80% NYLON and 20% SPANDEN.
[0021] With reference to FIGS. 4 to 6, to attach the wrist cover
onto a wrist of a user, the adhesive strap (322) is disengaged from
a connection condition to expand the body (10) and the wrist wings
(13). Thus, the palm of the user can pass through the space defined
between the non-slipping layer (11) and the wrist wings (13) to
make the wrist of the user corresponding to and abutting with the
non-slipping layer (11). With pulling the free end of the adjusting
strap (32), the non-slipping layer (11) and the wrist wings (13)
tightly contact with the wrist of the user. After connecting the
adhesive strap (322), the wrist cover is securely attached to the
wrist of the user.
[0022] With reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 7, after detaching the
second fastener (221) from the first fastener (213), the opening
(212) is opened and a cellular phone can be put into the holding
space (211) between the body (10) and the covering sheet (21).
After connecting the first and second fasteners (213,221), the
connecting tab (22) partially closes the opening (212) and the
cellular phone is securely held in and kept from escaping from the
holding space (211).
[0023] With further reference to FIG. 8, the user can carry a
cellular phone on the wrist with the wrist cover, so the cellular
phone can be carried conveniently even when the user takes
exercise. Such that, the wrist cover is convenient and easy in use.
In addition, the wrist cover can be attached to different parts of
the user, such as a leg or an arm as shown in FIG. 9, the wrist
cover in accordance with the present invention is versatile in
use.
[0024] Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the
present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description,
together with details of the structure and function of the
invention, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be
made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and
arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the
full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in
which the appended claims are expressed.
