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 8):
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 a first end and a second end, the first end and the second end cooperate to form a substantially U-shaped body, the first end having an opening configured to receive at least a half-folded hair band, the second end having a protrusion extending outwardly from the body for holding at least a portion of the hair band, 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 underside of the wrist or arm.
