ABSTRACT:
The wrist band with retaining lanyard of this invention is a wrist band and a retaining lanyard specifically attached to the inside of the wrist band. The wrist band is generally an elongated tubular band having an opening for insertion of a hand therethrough. Most commonly, the wrist band will be made with some type of elastic/cotton blended material that will easily stretch over the hand and fit snugly on the wrist. The wrist band also functions as a sweat band for the wrist. The lanyard has a first end, central length and a second end. In one embodiment, a first loop on the first end of the lanyard is circumferentially attached on the inside of the wrist band at a central location. This provision allows the first loop to close about the wrist if tension is applied to the lanyard concurrently with the wrist band being closed. This provides a cushion to the wrist and security from the lanyard slipping off the wrist. A second loop on the second end of the lanyard is closable about an item or object to retain the item or object should it be accidently dropped or released.
