The wraparound zipper ensures the bracelet fits snugly. and this protects the bracelet, unlike conventional ones Fasteners (e.g., Velcro, buckles or snap fasteners) buttoning) better protects against theft, as a simple, unnoticed Opening, as is known, for example, with watch straps, or a easy release of fasteners on Velcro closures and Snap fasteners are prevented by a short, sharp pull. A slight, unnoticed detachment of the bracelet from the arm will occur. This is prevented by the all-around zipper. 5 / 17 - 5 - The personally important and valuable content is therefore protected from Theft-protected and always in sight and within reach. in addition to the 3a and / or 3b points at the open end of the bracelet The bracelet can hold one or more of the provided pockets (2).

This can cause, for example, payment cards or ID cards are protected by external forces. for example, if the bracelet is firmly attached to the arm will be bent, thus damaged and even broken They can. This can be achieved by using a stiffening agent (8). the area of ​​pocket 2 intended for card 9 in the bracelet is incorporated or designed to be removable This can be prevented. The stiffening agent 8 can like bag 2 on the arm in any desired position- can be found or vary depending on the arrangement of the pocket(s). To accommodate agent 8 for stiffening, the one or the multiple pockets, at least two stacked on top of each other. have compartments arranged in a specific order, with each compartment being for the incorporation of agent 8 for stiffening and the incorporation the map is formed.
