Wrist band assembly

Abstract

An improved wrist band assembly is provided that mitigates against a potential loss of a device mounted to the assembly, particularly during intense physical activity. The assembly supports multiple different closing schemes for securing the assembly to a user's wrist.

1 . A wrist band assembly comprising:
 a band,   a first mounting member attached to the band,   a second mounting member attached to the band,   a closing fastener attached to the band,   a first buckle attached to the band, and   a second buckle attached to the band,   wherein the wrist band assembly is operable to mount a device on the band between the first mounting member and the second mounting member,   wherein the first mounting member is operable to interface with a first end of the device, and   wherein the second mounting member is operable to interface with a second end of the device.   
     
     
         2 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the first mounting member and the second mounting member are made of silicone. 
     
     
         3 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the first mounting member is removably attached to the band, and
 wherein the second mounting member is removably attached to the band.   
     
     
         4 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the closing fastener comprises a hooks portion and a loops portion. 
     
     
         5 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 4 , wherein the loops portion is closer to the first and second buckles than the hooks portion. 
     
     
         6 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 4 , wherein a width of the hooks portion is equal to a width of the band. 
     
     
         7 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 4 , wherein a width of the loops portion is equal to a width of the band. 
     
     
         8 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 4 , wherein a length of the hooks portion is less than a length of the loops portion. 
     
     
         9 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the first buckle is adjacent to the second buckle,
 wherein the first buckle defines a first opening,   wherein the second buckle defines a second opening,   wherein the first opening overlaps the second opening,   wherein a width of the first opening is greater than or equal to a width of the band, and   wherein a width of the second opening is greater than or equal to the width of the band.   
     
     
         10 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second buckles are metal. 
     
     
         11 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the band includes an aperture situated between the first mounting member and the second mounting member. 
     
     
         12 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second buckles are located on a first end of the band, and
 wherein a portion of the closing fastener is located on a second end of the band.   
     
     
         13 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the band is polyester. 
     
     
         14 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 1 , wherein a length of the band is at least 10 inches.
