Abstract

A wristband assembly according to the present disclosure includes a body including one or more chambers formed therein and a cap retainer disposed adjacent to the chamber opening. The assembly further includes a cap including a cap seat and a protrusion extending from the cap opposite the cap seat, where the cap seat interfaces with the cap retainer, and the cap seals the chamber from the environment. In at least one embodiment, a body is a flexible material. In at least one embodiment, the assembly includes multiple caps. In at least one embodiment, a cap includes a tab. In at least one embodiment, a cap includes a protrusion that is round. In at least one embodiment, a hinge attaches the cap to the body. In at least one embodiment, a cap protrusion may substantially conform or enclose a pill, tablet, blister packet, or other form of medication.

What is claimed is:

 a body including one or more chambers formed therein and a cap retainer disposed adjacent to the chamber opening; and   a cap including a cap seat and a protrusion extending from the cap opposite the cap seat,   wherein the cap seat interfaces with the cap retainer, and the cap seals the chamber from the environment.   
     
     
         2 . The wristband of  claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a flexible material. 
     
     
         3 . The wristband of  claim 1 , wherein the body varies in thickness along its length. 
     
     
         4 . The wristband of  claim 1 , wherein the body has one or more apertures therethrough along its length. 
     
     
         5 . The wristband of  claim 1 , wherein the body has an interior surface that is substantially smooth. 
     
     
         6 . The wristband of  claim 1 , wherein the wristband further comprises multiple caps. 
     
     
         7 . The wristband of  claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is round. 
     
     
         8 . The wristband of  claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is oval. 
     
     
         9 . The wristband of  claim 1 , wherein the cap includes a plurality of protrusions. 
     
     
         10 . The wristband of  claim 1 , wherein the cap substantially conforms to the chamber. 
     
     
         11 . The wristband of  claim 1 , wherein the cap is attached to the body with a hinge. 
     
     
         12 . The wristband of  claim 1 , wherein the protrusion substantially conforms to the shape of a pill, tablet, blister packet, or other form of medication. 
     
     
         13 . A wristband comprising:
 a body including one or more chambers formed therein and a recessed groove at or near the chamber opening; and   a cap including a covering base, a protrusion extending from the cap opposite the covering base, and a tab extending from the cap,   wherein the cap seals the chamber from the environment.   
     
     
         14 . The wristband of  claim 13 , wherein the body comprises a flexible material. 
     
     
         15 . The wristband of  claim 13 , wherein the cap is attached to the body with a hinge. 
     
     
         16 . The wristband of  claim 13 , wherein the protrusion comprises a sealing ridge and the sealing ridge substantially conforms to the recessed groove. 
     
     
         17 . The wristband of  claim 13 , wherein the protrusion substantially encloses a form of medication. 
     
     
         18 . A wristband comprising:
 a body including one or more chambers formed therein, a groove within the chamber, and a lip disposed adjacent to the chamber opening; and   a cap including a cap seat, a flange extending from the cap seat, a container protrusion defining a cavity and extending from the cap opposite the cap seat, and a ridge extending from the container protrusion,   wherein the flange interfaces with the lip, the ridge interfaces with the groove within the chamber, and the cap seals the chamber from the environment.   
     
     
         19 . The wristband of  claim 19 , wherein the cavity substantially conforms to a medication. 
     
     
         20 . The wristband of  claim 20 , where the body and cap are a flexible material.
