- The invention relates generally to safety wearing apparel. In particular, this invention relates to a safety band with comfort cuff.
- Several designs for safety armbands are presently available. Most such designs consist of a reflective band that may be wound around the arm or leg of a wearer and secured in place using Velcro™ or other fastening means. Alternative designs incorporate a self-coiling metal strip which grips around the arm or leg of a wearer.
- While various prior designs for safety bands have some degree of isolated merit, none fully meets all the objectives of providing a safety band that is easily mounted on an arm or leg of a wearer, constricts about the wearer's arm or leg thereby being retained in position, and is comfortable to wear.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide a safety band with comfort cuff that is easily mounted on an arm or leg of a wearer, constricts about the wearer's arm or leg thereby being retained in position, and is comfortable to wear.
- In one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a safety band with comfort cuff comprising: a) a tubular outer shell having a first end and a second end longitudinally opposed thereto; b) a tubular inner sleeve having a first rim and a second rim longitudinally opposed thereto, the first rim of the inner sleeve circumferentially secured to the first end of the outer shell; wherein the inner sleeve projects into the outer shell and is concentric therewith. The inner sleeve is designed and constructed from a resilient material whereby when an appendage of a wearer is inserted into the inner sleeve of the safety band the inner sleeve expands upon donning and thereby inherently constricts about the appendage of a wearer thus maintaining the outer shell in a desired position on the appendage of the wearer.
- In an embodiment of the present invention there is provided a string comprising at least one light source. The string is circumferentially fixed to and encircles the tubular outer shell of the safety band.
- In another embodiment of the present invention, the safety band includes a zipper means on the outer shell to provide a larger opening to the safety band and to facilitate the insertion of an appendage of the wearer into the safety band.
- In another embodiment of the present invention, the outer shell is designed and constructed with a band of retroreflective material to aid in visibility of the wearer to others.
- One advantage of the present invention is that the inner cuff provides improved comfort to the user during wearing of the safety band compared to currently available models. A further advantage of the present invention is that band is easily mounted on the arm or leg of a wearer without having to adjust strapping means.
- The design of the safety band is versatile, cost effective, and comfortable to wear.
- The present invention will be further understood from the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings of a representative safety band with comfort cuff according to the invention, in which all views are schematic and may not be to scale.

It is to be understood that other construction techniques and materials may be used for theinner comfort sleeve 30. It is to be understood that the resilient characteristic of theinner comfort sleeve 30 is of particular advantage in that with appropriate sizing of the inner comfort sleeve 30 theinner comfort sleeve 30 will be expanded upon donning and thereby inherently result in constriction about the wearer's arm or leg. This has the advantage in that it aids in maintaining the connected outerilluminated shell 22 in a desired position on the wearer's leg or arm. Theinner comfort sleeve 30 provides the further advantage that it is constructed from a material that is comfortable to wear thus providing a comfortable cuff for theilluminated safety band 21. - An electrically
conductive string 40 having at least onelight source 41, such as a high intensity light emitting diode (LED), attached thereto and in electrical communication therewith, is fixed to the first illuminatedend 24 of the outerilluminated shell 22 whereby thestring 40 encircles the first illuminatedend 24 of the outerilluminated shell 22 and the at least onelight source 41, when activated, is visible to other parties in the vicinity of the wearer of theilluminated safety band 21. It is understood that theinner comfort sleeve 30 provides a comfortable barrier between thestring 40 and the arm or leg of the wearer of theilluminated safety band 21. - Preferably, the
string 40 is in electrical communication with a battery connector 43, such as a 9V battery connector. Astorage pocket 44 is fixed to theinner comfort sleeve 30 near the secondcircular rim 34. Thestorage pocket 44 is designed and configured to accept a battery (not shown) for powering thestring 40. Thestring 40 is dimensioned and configured such that the battery connector 43 reaches thepocket 44. Thepocket 44 and the battery connector 43 are accessible by the wearer through the secondother end 26 of theilluminated safety band 21. It is understood that thepocket 44 is mounted between theilluminated shell 22 and theinner comfort sleeve 30 such that theinner comfort sleeve 30 provides a comfortable barrier between the battery (not shown) inserted into thepocket 44 and the arm or leg of the wearer of theilluminated safety band 21. - Preferably, the

FIG. 3 there is illustrated in a front perspective view, a zipperedsafety band 51, according to another embodiment of the present invention. The zipperedsafety band 51 comprises a tubular zipperedouter shell 52 having aninput end 54 and anoutput end 56 longitudinally opposed thereto. Anopening 64 is located at theinput end 54. Azipper 58 is fixed in alongitudinal seam 60 of the zipperedouter shell 52 such that thezipper 58 opens from theoutput end 56 to near theinput end 54.FIG. 3 depicts thezippered safety band 51, in its opened condition, wherein thezipper 58 has been unzipped to reveal the details of a tubularinner cuff 62, saidinner cuff 62 circumferentially secured within the zipperedouter shell 52 at theinput end 54. It is understood that when thezipper 56 is fully open, as shown inFIG. 3 , theinner cuff 62 remains circumferentially secured to the zipperedouter shell 52 at theinput end 54, accordingly, thezipper 58 opens to near theinput end 54 rather than opening through theinput end 54. - The
inner cuff 62 is preferably designed and constructed from a textile such as knitted or woven fabric exhibiting a resilient characteristic tending to cause theinner cuff 62 to constrict about the leg or arm of the wearer and thereby be retained in position. - The
zipper 58, when in the opened condition, facilitates the insertion of an appendage of a user into thezippered safety band 51. For example, when a user inserts a foot into theopening 64, while having thezipper 58 in the opened condition, theinner cuff 62 expands beyond the circumference of theoutput end 56 of the zipperedouter shell 51 thereby facilitating ease of entry of the foot into thezippered safety band 51. As the user continues to pull thezippered safety band 51 farther up a leg of the user, theinner cuff 62 constricts about the leg of the user and thereby is retained in position. Thezipper 58 may then be closed. - Other variations and modifications of the invention are possible. For example, it is further understood that the
switch 42 and thepocket 44 may be mounted on either the outer illuminatedshell 22 or on theinner comfort sleeve 30 near the secondother end 26 of the illuminatedsafety band 21. The outer shell may be constructed from retroreflective material. Other re-sealable means may be used in place of the zipper.
