Abstract:

A display marker band is adapted for reversible attachment to a relatively flexible closed-loop member, which loop member has an approximately rectangular cross-section defined by a relaxed width and a relaxed thickness and is adapted to slide over an appendage of a body for mounting thereon. The marker band includes a rigid display sidewall, which is bounded by first and second perimeter edges and has a mark formed therein, and, at least when attached to the loop member, includes flap sidewalls that extend opposite an interior face of the display sidewall and are each bounded by the first and second perimeter edges and a convexly curved perimeter edge. According to some methods, the flexible closed-loop member may be positioned between the display sidewall and the opposing flap sidewalls without deforming the marker band.
