| Abstract: |
A security hand band is formed of a strip of bright colored, waterproof cloth. The strip has a first opening adjacent one end thereof to receive a user's thumb. After the user inserts the thumb in the first opening, the strip is passed around the back of the hand and then wrapped around the palm of the hand so that a second opening in the strip also receives the thumb of the user. The strip has attaching elements on its end beyond the second opening for cooperation with attaching elements on the portion of the strip passed over the back of the hand initially so as to retain the strip on the hand. The two openings are large enough to enable various size hands to use the security hand band. The portion of the strip in the palm of the hand of the user has a Velcro material to attach a canister of tear gas, for example, thereto through the canister having Velcro material for attaching to the Velcro material on the strip. The strip also has reflectors on its end beyond the second opening to reflect light at night.

- said strip of flexible material having retaining means on its outer side intermediate its ends to retain a protective device or the like adjacent the palm of the hand of the user irrespective of the position of the hand of the user and without any gripping of the protective device by the user to form the sole retention of the protective device on said strip of flexible material, said retaining means being disposed on said strip of flexible material for positioning in the palm of the hand of the user after said first opening has received the thumb of the user and said strip of flexible material has a portion passed around the back of the hand of the user prior to said strip of flexible material being passed over the palm of the hand of the user;
- said strip of flexible material having a second opening to receive the thumb of the user after said strip of flexible material has passed over the palm of the hand of the user, said strip of flexible material having said second opening disposed closer to its other end than to its one end;
- said strip of flexible material having attaching means to attach its portion beyond said second opening to the portion of said strip of flexible material passed around the back of the hand of the user prior to said strip of flexible material being passed over the palm of the hand of the user;
