Abstract
An identification wristband is fabricated from transparent synthetic plastic and has a flattened central area wherein the inner surfaces of the central area are relatively close to each other and opposite edges communicating with the central area, which are substantially semi-circular in cross section, provide a receptacle for an information card or tag inserted in the band and the flattened area of the band facilitates the viewing of the information on the card. A connector is provided which is of substantially elliptical configuration in cross section and includes an abutment intermediate its extremities. The opposite extremities of the connector are receivable in the opposite extremities of the band body and, when inserted in the band body, distend the extremities to correspond to the elliptical configuration of the connector, thus causing a frictional grip to be exerted upon the extremities of the band body. The abutment is engaged on its opposite sides by the respective extremities of the band body and the elliptical perimeter of the abutment constitutes a smooth continuum of the extremities of the band body.
