Abstract: |
A body wallet is adapted to be worn around the ankle region by encircling it. It is large enough to hold an unfolded conventional-sized wallet. The wallet is made of a cloth material having an interior pouch and two strips of hook and loop fastening material sewn along each of the transverse ends. The pouch has a lengthwise opening for receiving articles. The wallet is large enough to encircle a limb with the ends overlapping somewhat. The two strips of hook and loop fastening material, otherwise known as VELCRO strips, are then engaged to keep the wallet in place. There is an elastic safety belt and buckle extending from and attached to the transverse ends. They are coupled to act as a safety backup when the VELCRO strips become loose. The pouch includes interior pockets or compartments for holding articles and there can be an outside pocket for holding articles such as coins or keys which are accessible without undoing the wallet.

First Claim:
Show all 10 claims |
What is claimed is:
1. A body wallet comprising:
- at least one sheet means of generally rectangular material folded back upon itself for forming two transverse ends and a lengthwise opening along one longitudinal end;
- means for sealing each said transverse end for forming a wallet;
- a relatively wide strip of hook fastener material attached transversely along one said transverse end;
- a relatively wide strip of loop fastener material attached transversely along said other transverse end, said wallet being conformable about the limb of a wearer and said strips of hook and loop fasteners overlapping and facing each other and being releasably adherent to each other when pressed together for holding the wallet in place on the wearer;
- said relatively wide strips of hook and loop fastener materials being sufficiently overlapping for compensating for variances in a wearer's limb circumference and for compensating for various sized items carried in said wallet;
- safety belt and buckle combination means attached to either end of said transverse ends for preventing the wallet from disengaging from the wearer's limb should said hook and loop fastener material become disengaged.
