Polymer plastic body worn case
Abstract
The spread of wireless communication is growing. A handy holder
provides an innovative cost-effective support for communication
devices when controlling movements of people inside or outside of a
building. The idea is to use a plastic case capable of repelling
bacteria, a case with perpendicular walls adapted to support a
rectangular radio. In preparing plastic walls, it is important to
drill holes for broadcast waves and to provide openings for
communication ON/OFF. Perpendicular corners are obtained by carving
a width of plastic until there remains a thin wall which may be
folded either internally or externally, thereby creating a link to
a flared normal direction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0013] In the following description and in the accompanying
drawings, the numeral numbers refer to identical parts in the
various Figures.
[0014] In FIG. 1 a polymer case 20 has a front wall 22, a left wall
24 comprising a mike slot opening 25, a bottom wall 26, a right
hand wall 30, a thickness 28, a back wall 42 which appears to be as
partially removed, holes in the back wall to set the left and right
walls and to set a hitch. The front wall has holes for speaker and
sound waves 31 and a mike slot hole 33. The case bottom wall 26 has
evacuation holes 32 for air and moisture. The bottom wall is
covered by two bottom folds 36 held in place by two or more rivets
34 in rivet holes. The right wall has a central cavity 35 and shows
a line of an outward score 38' and another line for an inward score
39. Two folded wings 40 support the partially removed back wall 42;
between right wall 30 and the bottom fold 36 there is an inward
score 39'', similarly along the left side, between the front wall
22 and the left wall 24, there is an inward score 39 which proceeds
as far as the start of the mike slot 25; also between the left wall
24 and the bottom fold 36 there is an inward score 39''' and
between the front wall 22 and the bottom wall 26 there is an inward
score 39''''.
[0015] In FIGS. 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D show a wall thickness 28 with in
FIG. 2A a minimum removal 48, which serves to connect an outward
link 44, which becomes in FIG. 2B an external arc 44' and leaving
an outward score 38. In FIG. 2C there is a maximum removal 50 from
a wall leading to an inward link 46, which becomes in FIG. 2D an
enclosing arc 46' circling an inward score 39. In short one sees
the opening of the outward link 44, which is straight in FIG. 2A
and becomes a curved external arc 44' in FIG. 2B. One sees an
inward link 46, which is also straight in FIG. 2C and is curved
along an enclosing arc 46' in FIG. 2D. One also sees in FIG. 2A a
digging of a plastic depth appearing as a minimum removal 48 next a
maximum removal in FIG. 2C in a second area of digging withdrawal
permitting to close an inward link 46' in FIG. 2D to surround the
inward score 39.
[0016] In FIG. 3 one sees the inward score 39' which reaches to
about 3 mm from the mouth of the case showing an internal filling
54' of original matter; it is also the inward score 39 which
reaches approximately 3 mm from the mike slot 25 showing an
internal filling 54 of original matter. This area of original
matter approximately doubles the strength in tear resistance.
Conversely an outward score 38' reaches about 3 mm from the mouth
of the case showing an outward filling 52' of original matter which
is shown on the outside and may be an outward link 44,44', of FIG.
2A,2B; actually an elongated wing 41 must be turned 90.degree.
degrees inwardly to be superimposed against a fullback flap 43 that
should not be longer than the front wall 22 to cover the sum of the
length of the front wall 22 plus that of the two folded wings 40 as
shown in FIG. 1. An original filling of more than 5 mm is not
recommended and does not allow a fold as precise, defined and
controlled to about 90.degree. degrees. One may add other matter of
origin, for example each distance of 35 mm or 45 mm. In addition
there are rivets and holes 34 therefor.
[0017] FIG. 4 shows the embodiment of FIG. 3 laid flat as before
the components are assembled and inter-related. One notice the
references 54',52',39' corresponding to the right parts identified
as 54,52,39 to the left. There is a fullback flat 43 rear wall not
exceeding the width of the front wall 22. The elongated wings 41
may exceed in length the side walls 24,30 left and right. Holes for
rivets 34,34' are positioned to be stacked when bottom fold 36 are
rotated 90.degree. degrees to cover the bottom wall 26.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0018] A plastic body worn case 20 for portable electronic devices,
the case comprising: a front wall 22, a back wall 42, two side
walls 24 left and right 30, a bottom wall 26, a wall thickness 28,
the walls being joined to form an open face paralelepiped and
defining a number of junctions between the walls, at least one of
the junctions including a partial removal of the thickness (t).
Note the letter (t) added after the word thickness is to introduce
a mathematical concept. The partial removal leaves a non-removed or
of original matter to produce an inward link 46 which may be bent
into an enclosing arc 46' around an inward score 39 around which
two walls are adjacent to and oriented 90.degree. degrees one
compared to the other. The arc length is larger than 11/2 times the
thickness (t) to close two adjacent walls in the clockwise
direction, a right wall in relation to a second wall, the length of
an inward arc defining a maximal removal 50. The external arc 44'
has a preferred external arc length equals to 1/2 times the
thickness (t) to close two adjacent walls in anti-clockwise
direction, one over the other, the length of external arc 44' is
smaller and defines a minimum removal 48. The walls are made of
materials to be used in combination with illuminating means such as
a soft plastic. The side walls are folded about the inward scores
39,39' and include folded wings 40 originating from outward score
38' (see FIG. 1) and connected by a back wall 42 (partially
removed, FIG. 1) and of length corresponding to the length of the
front wall 22 plus the length of the folded wings 40. The side
walls are folded at the inward scores 39,39' and include elongated
wings 41 (see FIG. 3) appearing as outward scores 38,38' for the
purposes of illustration, but normally will be rotated 90.degree.
degrees to join the left side to the right side and become a pair
of inward scores 39,39' and the two elongated wings 41,41' will be
met by a fullback flap 43 back wall (see FIG. 3) in length
corresponding to the length of the front wall 22. The side walls
30,24, the bottom wall 26 and the fullback flap 43 are assembled
with the front wall 22 and with the bottom folds 36,36'. (see FIG.
4). The walls are made of plastic materials, synthetic materials,
smooth or texturized to the touch with or without added
materials.
[0019] It is to be clearly understood that the instant description
with reference to the annexed drawing is made in an indicative
manner and that the preferred embodiments described herein are
meant in no way to limit further embodiments realizable within the
scope of the invention. The matter which is claimed as being
inventive and new is limited only by the following claims.
