Abstract:
An apparatus is presented that is worn on the wrist or forearm that holds an elastic hair band out of sight. The apparatus is either a permanent loop-shape with affixed ends, a u-shape, or a u-shape with a fastening structure. The apparatus holds an elastic hair band internally with a tensioning structure that either slightly extends from the internal wall of the apparatus or is recessed into the internal wall, holding an elastic hair band against the apparatus body when the band is stretched around the structure in slight tension. Alternatively, the apparatus may hold the elastic hair band on one end of a u-shaped apparatus where it serves as a removable fastening mechanism of the two ends, but is not necessary to keep the apparatus on the wrist.

Claim (Index 7):
A wearable article for concealing a hair band, comprising: a body configured for selective positioning around an arm or wrist of a user, the body having an inner wall and a recessed portion extending radially inwardly relative to the inner wall of the body, the recessed portion configured to receive the hair band, the inner wall having a tensioning structure for holding the hair band in tension when operatively positioned within the recessed portion and around the tensioning structure, wherein the body is configured to substantially conceal the hair band from view during wear by the user, while permitting at least a portion of the hair band to remain accessible at the inner wall of the body.
