HEADBAND WITH TENSION INDICATOR

摘要

A headband (102) with a tension indicator (110) having an elastic segment (102) sized to fit around a wearer's head; and a non-elastic segment (104) being smaller than and attached with the elastic segment (102). The non-elastic segment (104) is sized to span a portion of the elastic segment (102) when the elastic segment is stretched, and the non-elastic segment (104) is larger than the portion of the elastic segment (102) it spans when the elastic segment (102) is not stretched. The non-elastic segment (104) is attached with the elastic segment in such a manner that the non-elastic segment (104) projects out from the surface of the elastic portion when the headband is not sufficiently tight, thus creating a loop (110) which provides a visual indication that the headband needs re-tightening.
