Personal item management apparatus

1. A personal management apparatus, comprising:

a wearable band having a non-adjustable, fixed circumference that defines a first outer diameter; and

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; and

wherein the personal management apparatus further comprises a clasp coupled to the wearable band and adapted to couple a personal item to the wearable band;

wherein the clasp comprises:

a clasp body; and

a gate coupled to the clasp body;

wherein the gate is linear;

wherein the clasp body has an arcuate shape;

wherein the clasp body defines a second outer diameter that is less than the first outer diameter;

wherein the linear gate has a closed position in which at least a first end of the linear gate is held in place, relative to the clasp body having the arcuate shape;

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 linear gate of the clasp is in the closed position; and

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;

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.

2. The personal management apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the second outer diameter to the first outer diameter is about 0.4.

3. The personal management apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cover comprises a leather material.

4. The personal management apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cover comprises at least one of a waterproof material and a water resistant material.

5. The personal management apparatus of claim 1 wherein, when the linear gate of the clasp is in the closed position, the linear gate is locked to the clasp body.

6. The personal management apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the linear gate is movable between the closed position and an open position; and

wherein the linear gate has a second end pivotably coupled to the clasp body.

7. The personal management apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the linear gate of the clasp is spring loaded so that:

the linear gate of the clasp is biased into the closed position; and

the linear 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 linear gate.

8. The personal management apparatus of claim 7 , wherein, when the linear gate is in the open position and the application of the force against the linear gate is released, the linear gate of the clasp self locks by moving from the open position to the closed position in which the linear gate is locked to the clasp body.

9. The personal management apparatus of claim 8 , wherein an audible click is heard when the linear gate obtains the closed position in which the linear gate is locked to the clasp body.

10. The personal management apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the clasp further comprises a locking mechanism that holds the linear gate in place, relative to the clasp body having the arcuate shape.
