Abstract:
An embodiment personal item management apparatus includes a wearable band having a fixed circumference that defines a first outer diameter; and a clasp coupled to the wearable band, the clasp having a second outer diameter that is less than the first outer diameter and being adapted to couple a personal item to the wearable band. In an exemplary embodiment, the ratio of the second outer diameter to the first outer diameter is about 0.4.

Claim (Index 12):
A personal management apparatus, comprising:\n a wearable band having a non-adjustable, fixed circumference that defines a first outer diameter; and a clasp coupled to the wearable band, the clasp defining a second outer diameter that is less than the first outer diameter and being adapted to couple a personal item to the wearable band; wherein the wearable band defines one or more outer surfaces, the one or more outer surfaces including at least a first outer surface; wherein a first portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band defines the fixed circumference and thus the first outer diameter; wherein a second portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band is sized so that the wearable band is adapted to be worn around a user's wrist and/or bicep; wherein the first portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band is radially spaced outward from the second portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band; wherein the first outer surface of the wearable band extends continuously and uninterruptedly along the fixed circumference of the wearable band in its entirety; wherein the one or more outer surfaces define(s) a first cross-section that is constant and the same at any point along the fixed circumference of the wearable band in its entirety; wherein the first cross-section is coplanar with the any point along the fixed circumference of the wearable band; wherein the wearable band is structured to ensure that the first cross-section is radially bounded between the second portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band and the first portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band; wherein the first outer surface of the wearable band is generally donut-shaped and defines a second cross-section, the second cross-section forming at least a part of the first cross-section, the second cross-section being radially extending, the second cross-section generally defining a circular shape that is constant and the same at the any point along the fixed circumference of the wearable band in its entirety; wherein the circular shape, which is defined by the second-cross section defined by the first outer surface of the wearable band, is coplanar with the any point along the fixed circumference of the wearable band, and extends radially outward from the second portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band to the first portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band, the circular shape being radially bounded by the second portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band and the first portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band; wherein the wearable band is structured to ensure that the first cross-section, which includes at least the second cross-section, is constant and the same at the any point along the fixed circumference of the wearable band in its entirety; wherein the clasp comprises:\n a clasp body forming an arcuate shape that defines the second outer diameter; and \n a gate movable between a closed position and an open position, the gate having a first end pivotably coupled to one end of the clasp body and an opposing second end that moves relative to another end of the clasp body; \n wherein, when the gate of the clasp is in the open position, the opposing second end of the gate extends towards the clasp body; wherein the gate of the clasp is spring loaded so that:\n the gate of the clasp is biased into the closed position; and \n the gate of the clasp is configured to be moved from the closed position to the open position in response to an application of a force against the gate; \n wherein a first inner region is defined by the second portion of the first outer surface of the wearable band; wherein the first inner region is generally circular in shape; wherein the clasp extends through the first inner region so that the wearable band extends around a portion of the clasp; wherein a second inner region is at least partially defined by the clasp body of the clasp; wherein the wearable band extends through the second inner region so that the clasp extends around a portion of the wearable band when the gate of the clasp is in the closed position; wherein the extension of the clasp through the first inner region, and the extension of the wearable band through the second inner region, couples the clasp to the wearable band; and wherein the extension of the clasp through the first inner region, the extension of the wearable band through the second inner region, and the continuous and uninterrupted extension of the first outer surface along the fixed circumference of the wearable band in its entirety, permits movement of the clasp relative to the wearable band and along the fixed circumference of the wearable band in its entirety, while the clasp remains coupled to the wearable band.
