Abstract:
A watertight container, fastenable to a body part, comprising a rigid watertight box (32, 132) removably positioned in a resilient case or resilient holder, said holder having an (14) integral resilient wrist strap (12), said holder (14) being as resilient as the wrist strap (12) and being provided with an opening for a forced inlet of the box (32, 132) into the resilient case or said resilient holder (14), said resilient holder engagingly conforming to the exterior of said rigid box to retain said box in said holder, and said rigid box (32, 132) being comprised of two telescoping portions rectangular in shape (50, 150, 52, 152), each partially fitted with each other and defining a fitting area between said two portions and tightly pressed by the resilient holder (14), said rigid box being provided with at least a sealing gasket (62) interposed in the fitting area and enclosed between the two portions (50, 150, 52, 152), so that the resilience of the resilient holder (14) contributes in sealingly closing the rigid box (32, 132) and snapping coupling means (58, 158, 158a, 60, 160), for engaging the two portions (50, 150, 52, 152) of the rigid box (32, 132), said gasket being external of said snapping coupling means.
