Benefits of technology

"This patent describes hinged cases that have a latch to secure the two components closed. The latch is made up of two areas on each component that fit together to create a watertight closure. The cases also have a conductive shell that shields the interior chamber from electromagnetic radiation. Additionally, the patent describes a case where the two parts are connected by a connector to form a cavity, with a seal only around the cavity and not the connector."

Problems solved by technology

However, many users are concerned with more than cost or small size when choosing a wallet or personal case.
Also, identity theft is a growing concern among consumers.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]Wallet cases are described herein, with reference to examples and exemplary embodiments. Specific terminology is employed in describing examples and exemplary embodiments. However, the disclosure of this patent specification is not intended to be limited to the specific terminology so selected and it is to be understood that each specific element includes all technical equivalents that operate in a similar manner.

[0020]In an exemplary embodiment, shown in FIG. 1, a case 10 comprises a first component 12 and a second component 14 that are connected to one another by a hinge 16. While the case examples shown in the figures have a generally rectangular shape, it will be recognized by one skilled in the art that the overall shape of the case 10 is not particularly limited.

[0021]The hinge 16 may be any type of hinge known in the art. Some examples of possible hinge configurations include hinges having hinge pins 22 (shown in the figures), hinges which include more than one hinge pi...

Abstract

A case includes first and second components hinged together and a latch for releasably securing the first component hinged closed to the second component. In one example, the first component may include a sealing band attached to an edge thereof and displaced away from the edge around a latch area of the first component. The second component may include a contact element for contacting the sealing band to provide a watertight closure between them. In another example, the first and second components each include a conductive and non-conductive shell. While the non-conductive shells are hinged together, the conductive shells substantially shield an interior chamber of the case from electromagnetic radiation.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This invention relates to wallets, personal containers or other cases having a hinged construction. Providing waterproofing, crush resistance and electromagnetic shielding are particular goals of the devices proposed herein.DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART[0002]Wallets have customarily been made from flexible materials such as leather, natural or synthetic fabrics, etc. Such materials allow for inexpensive construction techniques and allow for the wallets to be carried in a pocket close to a bearer's body due to their conformability and relatively small size.[0003]However, many users are concerned with more than cost or small size when choosing a wallet or personal case. As one example, it is often a concern that a wallet provides a waterproof enclosure for keeping items dry such as paper money, business cards or small electronic devices such as memory cards or storage devices. Water sports or all-weather outdoor activities are just two examples of when such watertigh...
