  • Patent number: 9913513
    Abstract: A versatile jewelry includes a main body having an inner surface arranged to be worn against the wrist and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. First and second end portions define a clearance sized to receive the wrist when the main body is donned by the user. At least one retaining feature comprises a plurality of hooks. A hair band is adapted to be selectively secured to the main body via the at least one retaining feature and to span the clearance at a height above the inner surface. The at least one retaining feature maintains the hair band in place on the main body and distributes pressure from the hair band away from the wrist. The hair band has an elasticity and the main body has a rigidity arranged to maintain the hair band at a height above the inner surface across the clearance.

  • Patent number: 9775413
    Abstract: A versatile jewelry includes a main body having a inner surface arranged to be worn against the wrist and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. First and second end portions define a clearance sized to receive the wrist when the main body is donned by the user. A circumferential groove is formed in the main body. A hair band is adapted to be selectively disposed within the groove and to span the clearance at a height above the inner surface. The main body is arranged to substantially hold the hair band in place when the hair band is disposed in the groove. The hair band has an elasticity and the main body has a rigidity arranged to resist the elasticity of the hair band and to distribute pressure from the hair band away from the wrist.

  • Patent number: 9526304
    Abstract: A versatile jewelry includes a semi-rigid or rigid main body defining a circumferential groove having a bottom and sidewalls extending between the bottom and the outer surface. The main body defines first and second opposing end portions with a clearance therebetween. At least one hair accessory having an elasticity is adapted to be disposed in the groove and span the clearance. The main body has a rigidity arranged to distribute pressure from the at least one hair accessory away from the wrist. The elasticity of the at least one hair accessory is arranged to force the at least one hair accessory against the bottom of the groove to secure it within the groove and the at least one hair accessory spanning the clearance is arranged to facilitate disengagement of the at least one hair accessory from the groove.

  • Patent number: 8528306
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing pockets containing a napkin (5). To this end, two web-shaped layers (1, 2) of a flat, flexible material are moved along a transport path and held at a distance apart from one another in one section of the transport path. Napkins (5) are individually picked up from a stack and placed between the layers (1, 2). Only then, downstream of the section in the web direction, are adjacent regions of the layers (1, 2) placed in contact with one another and joined to one another. The pockets formed in this manner are cut from the web-shaped layers (1, 2). In the section, a respective napkin (5) is moved in a direction essentially at a right angle to the web direction and placed between the layers (1, 2) in a position oriented essentially parallel with the web direction.
