Resealable charm locket

Abstract

A resealable locket comprising a first cover and a second cover. The first cover defines a see-through opening. The second cover is movably connected to the first cover. The first and second covers define a chamber when the first cover is closed on the second cover. A fixing member is disposed on the first and second covers. The fixing member is operable to enable a user to selectively open and close the locket without the use of a tool so that the user may selectively place and remove a charm from the chamber.

1 . A locket comprising: 
 a first cover, the first cover defining a see-through window;    a second cover movably connected to the first cover;    the first and second cover defining a closed chamber when the first cover is closed on the second cover; and    a fixing member disposed on the first and second covers, the fixing member operable to enable a user to selectively open and close the locket without the use of a tool so that the user may selectively place and remove charms from the chamber, solely by finger manipulation of the first and second covers.    
   
   
       2 . The locket as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the fixing member is at least a first magnet disposed in the first cover and at least a second magnet disposed in the second cover.

       4 . The locket as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the first and second covers are movably connected through the use of a hinge.  
   
   
       5 . The locket as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the second cover defines another see-through opening.  
   
   
       6 . The locket as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the first and second covers are slidable in parallel planes and about a connecting hinge pin extending perpendicular to the parallel planes.  
   
   
       7 . The locket as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a divider disposed in the chamber, wherein the divider is effective to divide the chamber into a plurality of sub-chambers.  
   
   
       8 . The locket as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a chain fixedly attached to at least one of the first and second covers.  
   
   
       9 . The locket as recited in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second covers further includes a channel therein.  
   
   
       10 . The locket as recited in  claim 1 , wherein both the first and second covers further include a channel therein.  
   
   
       11 . The locket as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising at least one gasket disposed between the first and second covers.

 rotating the first cover with respect to the second cover;    placing at least one charm in the chamber;    locking the first cover to the second cover;    opening the first cover from the second cover without the use of a tool;    removing the least one charm from the chamber;    placing a second charm in the chamber; and    locking the first cover to the second cover.    
   
   
       16 . The method as recited in  claim 15 , wherein the first cover is locked to the second cover through the use of magnets.  
   
   
       17 . The method as recited in  claim 15 , further comprising pouring a liquid into the chamber.  
   
   
       18 . The method as recited in  claim 15 , wherein the locking is performed through the use of a plurality of magnets.
