ABSTRACT:
An armband which provides a platform for both holding and directing a beam of light from a flashlight as well as protection from blows and knife attacks. The armband has a circular body which is slipped over the forearm of the user The armband provides mild compression of the forearm so that the armband does not readily slip off of the user. The armband is further tightened using at least one fastening strap which "cinches" the armband tighter onto the arm. In the preferred embodiment, two fastening straps are used, one above and one below the muscle bulge on the forearm. The flashlight is secured to the armband to direct the beam of light parallel to the forearm. Activation of the flashlight is by tapping a spring activator which engages the switch on the flashlight. To provide further protection, a shield is also incorporated into the armband. In the preferred embodiment the shield is removable from the armband, but, in other embodiments, the shield is embedded into the armband itself.
