Secure wrist band

Abstract

A flexible wrist band that has a compartment is provided. The wrist band is fastened by threaded pins that pass through openings in the band. The openings are reinforced to decrease the risk that the band can be removed from the wearer without operating the fastener. The fastener requires a tool to separate the threaded pins, further securing the band and decreasing the risk of removal from the wrist of a wearer.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A wrist band assembly, comprising:
 first and a second flat elements having a selected thickness and a compartment between the elements, the flat elements and compartment being formed from a flexible material;   a first rigid pin having an outside surface and internal threads from a first end and a head on a second end;   a second rigid pin having external threads adapted to threadingly mate with the internal threads of the first rigid pin and having a head and a recessed area in the head for receiving a tool to supply torque to the pin; and   openings in the flexible material of the first and the second flat elements, the openings being adapted to receive an outside surface of the first rigid pin; and   rigid reinforcing elements in the flat elements and concentric to the openings in the flat elements.   
     
     
         2 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 1  wherein the flexible material comprises a silicone-based polymer. 
     
     
         3 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 1  wherein the reinforcing elements are made of a rigid polymer 
     
     
         4 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 1  wherein the compartment is adapted to receive an electronic device. 
     
     
         5 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 1  wherein the recessed area in the head of the second rigid pin is a slot. 
     
     
         6 . The wrist band assembly of  claim 1  wherein the recessed area in the head of the second rigid pin is adapted for receiving a key.
