Claim Text:
1. A safety wrist cuff for connecting to a tool lanyard and for being secured to a range of wrist sizes, the safety wrist cuff comprising: a fixed, closed loop band having a fixed size formed by folding a strap onto itself with a first end portion of the strap being fixedly attached to an attachment point on a middle portion of the strap, wherein the safety wrist cuff is configured to be adjustably secured to a range of wrist sizes by wrapping around a wrist in a manner that folds the fixed, closed loop band upon itself; an adjustment tab extending from the attachment point of the fixed, closed loop band and having a tab inside surface, a tab outside surface, and a distal end portion; a releasable fastener having a first fastener part and a second fastener part, wherein the first fastener part is fixedly attached to an outside surface of the fixed, closed loop band and the second fastener part is fixedly attached to the tab inside surface of the distal end portion, and wherein the first fastener part is positioned along the outside surface of the fixed, closed loop band to require the fixed, closed loop band to fold on itself when the second fastener part engages the first fastener part with the adjustment tab wrapped along the fixed, closed loop band; and a lanyard connector secured to the distal end portion of the adjustment tab, wherein the adjustment tab is configured to separate from the fixed, closed loop band by opening the releasable fastener when the lanyard connector is subjected to an adequate pulling force, thereby releasing the fixed, closed loop band from being folded upon itself, loosening the safety wrist cuff around the wrist of a user, and facilitating the safety wrist cuff disengaging from the user's wrist.
