Safety band with comfort cuff

Abstract

A safety band is provided having a tubular outer shell and a tubular inner sleeve which 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 the wearer thus maintaining the outer shell in a desired position on the appendage of the wearer. In another embodiment of the invention, a string of at least one light source encircles the outer shell and is fixed thereto. In another embodiment of the invention, the outer shell includes a zipper means for facilitating entry of an appendage of a wearer. A band of retroreflective material fixed to the outer shell is provided in another embodiment of the invention.

1 . 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 and wherein 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.   
     
     
         2 . The safety band of  claim 1  further comprising a string of at least one light source, the string fixed to and encircling the first end of the tubular outer shell. 
     
     
         3 . The safety band  claim 1  further comprising a re-sealable zipper means, said zipper means providing a means for opening the outer shell of the safety band from the second end to near the first end, thereby facilitating the insertion into the safety band of an appendage of a wearer. 
     
     
         4 . The safety band of  claim 1  further comprising a band of retroreflective material fixed to the outer shell.
