Wearable band for storing and protecting items

Abstract

A size-adjustable wearable device stores and protects items, such as rings, for example. The wearable device can be designed to securely hold items, including valuables, such as rings, in a manner that allows for peace of mind and convenience while the wearer goes about a variety of different activities. The wearer can expose a storage chamber in the device by opening a cover on the underside of a band. The ring, jewelry, or other valuable can be deposited inside the storage chamber, and the cover can be placed securely over the top of the storage chamber. The wearer can then strap the band on their person. The band can be worn with the cover disposed securely and tightly against the person, thus providing an additional level of security. In some embodiments, the storage chamber can include arms to further help secure an item, such as a ring, there within.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A wearable storage device, comprising:
 a band configured to form a loop, the loop having an interior surface and an exterior surface;   at least one storage region formed along a portion of the band; and   a cover movable between an open position and a closed position, the cover disposed along the interior surface of the band in the closed position, wherein moving the cover to the open position provides access to the at least one storage region.   
     
     
         2 . The wearable storage device of  claim 1 , wherein a size of the loop is adjustable. 
     
     
         3 . The wearable storage device of  claim 2 , wherein the band includes a band first end adjustably connectable to a band second end to adjust the size of the loop. 
     
     
         4 . The wearable storage device of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more wings extending from a base of the at least one storage region. 
     
     
         5 . The wearable storage device of  claim 1 , further comprising at least two wings extending an at angle from a central region of a base of the at least one storage region. 
     
     
         6 . The wearable storage device of  claim 1 , further comprising a lip on the cover frictionally fitting into over the storage region, the lip preventing inadvertent separation of the cover from a top portion of the storage region. 
     
     
         7 . The wearable storage device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one storage region and the band are formed as a single integrated unit. 
     
     
         8 . The wearable storage device of  claim 1 , further comprising a hinged connection for hindgedly joining the cover to the band. 
     
     
         9 . A size-adjustable wearable storage device, comprising:
 a first band end;   a central member attached to the first band end;   a second band end attached to the central member, where the second band end extends in a direction opposite the first band end, wherein opposing ends of the first band end and the second band end attach together to form a loop, the loop defining an inner surface and an outer surface;   a storage region formed in the central member; and   a cover movable between an open position and a closed position, the cover disposed over an open top of the storage region on the inner surface of the loop when in the closed position.   
     
     
         10 . The size-adjustable wearable storage device of  claim 9 , further comprising one or more wings extending from a base of the storage region. 
     
     
         11 . The size-adjustable wearable storage device of  claim 9 , further comprising at least two wings extending an at angle from a central region of a base of the storage region. 
     
     
         12 . The size-adjustable wearable storage device of  claim 9 , further comprising a lip on the cover frictionally fitting into over the storage region, the lip preventing inadvertent separation of the cover from a top portion of the storage region. 
     
     
         13 . The size-adjustable wearable storage device of  claim 9 , wherein the at least one storage region and the band are formed as a single integrated unit. 
     
     
         14 . The size-adjustable wearable storage device of  claim 9 , further comprising a hinged connection for hindgedly joining the cover to the band. 
     
     
         15 . A size-adjustable, flexible wearable storage device, comprising:
 a first band end;   a central member attached to the first band end;   a second band end attached to the central member, where the second band end extends in a direction opposite the first band end, wherein opposing ends of the first band end and the second band end attach together to form a loop, the loop defining an inner surface and an outer surface;   a storage region formed in the central member, the storage region having an open top to provide access thereto, the open top disposed along the inner surface of the loop; and   a cover hingedly connected to the central region and removably disposed over the open top of the storage region.   
     
     
         16 . The size-adjustable, flexible wearable storage device of  claim 15 , further comprising at least two wings extending an at angle from a central region of a base of the storage region. 
     
     
         17 . The size-adjustable, flexible wearable storage device of  claim 15 , further comprising a lip on the cover frictionally fitting into over the storage region, the lip preventing inadvertent separation of the cover from a top portion of the storage region.
