  • Patent number: 5893496
    Abstract: A headband for retaining and positioning an object is adapted to have an active configuration and an alternative passive configuration. In the active configuration, the headband can be made to encircle a user's head such that the object is retained on an exterior surface ready for use. In the passive configuration, the headband can be made to close around the object such that the object is retained on an interior surface, protected against damage, with the headband retained in a compact form. In this passive configuration, the headband can releasably engage a belt so as to form a holster for the object, thereby rendering both the object and the headband ready for rapid deployment.
