Claims
- 1. An apparatus for holding a flashlight and also capable of being formed into a variably sized headband loop, comprising:
- a single non-elastic strap having a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, a first side edge and a second side edge, said single non-elastic, strap also having a first surface and a second surface;
- loop-type material secured to said first surface of said single non-elastic strap, said loop-type material being substantially adjacent to said first longitudinal end on said first surface of said single non-elastic strap;
- hook-type material secured to said second surface of said single non-elastic strap, said hook-type material being substantially adjacent to said second longitudinal end on said second surface of said single non-elastic strap, said hook-type material being designed and positioned to be removably attachable to a portion of said loop-type material for form a variably sized headband loop; and
- a second of elastic material, said section of elastic material having an inner surface, a first side edge and a second side edge, said first side edge and said second side edge of said section of elastic material each being separately affixed to one of said surfaces of said strap in a manner such that a substantially cylindrical sleeve which is open at both ends is defined by a portion of said inner surface of said section of elastic material and said surface of said strap to which said section of elastic material is affixed, said substantially cylindrical sleeve having a longitudinal axis which is substantially aligned with said single non-elastic strap, said section of elastic material being expandable to a size which is suitable to receive the body of a flashlight through both of said open ends of said substantially cylindrical sleeve, said elastic material being located intermediate said first and said second ends of said strap and also being intermediate said loop-type material and said hook-type material.
- 2. The flashlight holding apparatus of claim 1 wherein said loop-type material is sewed to said first surface of said single non-elastic band and said hook-type material is sewed to said second surface of said single non-elastic band.
- 3. The flashlight holding apparatus of claim 1 wherein said section of elastic material is secured to said first surface of said single non-elastic band with said first side edge and said second side edge of said elastic material being connected, respectively, only to said first side edge and said second side edge of said single non-elastic strap.
- 4. The flashlight holding apparatus of claim 1 wherein said loop-type material is sewed to said first surface of said single non-elastic band and said hook-type material is sewed to said second surface of said single non-elastic band, and wherein further, said section of elastic material is secured to said first surface of said single non-elastic band as said loop-type material, with said first side edge and said second side edge of said elastic material being sewed, respectively, only to said first side edge and said second side edge of said single non-elastic strap.
- 5. An apparatus for holding a flashlight and also capable of being formed into a variably sized band loop, comprising:
- a single non-elastic strap having a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, a first side edge and a second side edge, said single non-elastic strap also having a first surface and a second surface;
- first connecting means substantially adjacent to one of said longitudinal ends of said single non-elastic strap;
- second connecting means substantially adjacent to the other longitudinal end of said single non-elastic strap, said second connecting means being designed and positioned to be removably attachable to a portion of said first connecting means to form a variably sized band loop; and
- a second of elastic material, said section of elastic material having an inner surface, a first side edge and a second side edge, said first side edge and said second side edge of said section of elastic material each being separately affixed to one of said surfaces of said strap in a manner such that a substantially cylindrical sleeve which is open at both ends is defined by a portion of said inner surface of said section of elastic material and said surface of said strap to which said section of elastic material is affixed, said substantially cylindrical sleeve having a longitudinal axis which is substantially aligned with said single non-elastic strap, said section of elastic material being expandable to a size which is suitable to receive the body of a substantially cylindrical flashlight through both of said open ends of said substantially cylindrical sleeve, said elastic material being located intermediate said first and said second ends of said strap and also being intermediate said first and second connecting means.
- 6. The flashlight holding apparatus of claim 5 wherein said first connecting means is loop-type material secured to one of said surfaces of said strap and said second connecting means is hook-type material secured to the other of said surfaces of said strap, said hook-type material being designed and positioned to be removably attachable to a portion of said loop-type material to form a headband.
- 7. The flashlight holding apparatus of claim 5 wherein said hook-type material is sewed to one said surface of said single non-elastic band.
- 8. The flashlight holding apparatus of claim 5 wherein said loop-type material is sewed to one said surface of said single non-elastic band.
- 9. The flashlight holding apparatus of claim 5 wherein said hook-type material is sewed to one said surface of said single non-elastic band and said loop-type material is sewed to the other said surface of said single non-elastic band.
- 10. The flashlight holding apparatus of claim 9 wherein said section of elastic material is secured to the same surface of said single non-elastic band as said loop-type material.
- 11. The flashlight hold apparatus of claim 6 wherein said second of elastic material is secured to the same surface of said single non-elastic band as said loop-type material.
- 12. The flashlight holding apparatus of claim 5 wherein said first side edge and said second side edge of said elastic material is connected, respectively, only to said first side edge and said second side edge of said single non-elastic strap.
- 13. The flashlight holding apparatus of claim 12 wherein said first side edge and said second side edge of said elastic material are connected only to the same surface of said single non-elastic strap.
- 14. The flashlight holding apparatus of claim 5 wherein said length of elastic material is smaller than the length of a flashlight.
