FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a fan wearing theforearm sleeve 100.FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an arm illustrating use of theforearm sleeve 100 andFIG. 3 is a perspective view of theforearm sleeve 100 without an arm present. Theforearm sleeve 100 includes abody 110 with afirst end 112 and asecond end 114. Thefirst end 112 includes afirst opening 312 dimensioned to envelop or enclose the forearm proximate the elbow of the person wearing theforearm sleeve 100. Similarly, thesecond end 114 includes asecond opening 314 dimensioned to envelop or enclose the wrist area distal to the elbow and near to the hand of the person wearing theforearm sleeve 100. - In one embodiment, the
forearm sleeve 100 includes imprintedindicia 116 on at least a portion of thebody 110. The imprintedindicia 116 includes ink that is applied to thebody 110 in varying colors, shapes, and styles. In the embodiment illustrated inFIG. 2 , thebody 110 includes imprintedindicia 116 with the phrase “Go Team.” The embodiment illustrated inFIG. 3 includes imprintedindicia 116 with the phrase “State” on thebody 110. It will be readily appreciated that the imprintedindicia 116 can take many forms to suit the particular fans, teams, and or personalities involved. For example, in various embodiments the imprintedindicia 116 may include team nicknames (Dawgs, Vols, Gators), team slogans (Sic 'em Dawgs, Go Vols, Roll Tide), team logos or artifacts (tomahawk, cowbell, team emblem), or any other paraphernalia commonly associated with the team. Similarly, the imprintedindicia 116 may include a race car number such as in automobile racing, a player number, a performer's name or other identifying mark, or even advertising slogans and trademarks. - In one embodiment, the
forearm sleeve 100 includes abody 110 designed to enclose the forearm from the wrist to below the elbow. In one embodiment, thebody 110 is a one piece fabric material having substantially 80% polyester and 20% spandex. Spandex is a synthetic fiber (polyurethane-polyurea copolymer) having exceptional elasticity and is also known by the names elastane and lycra, among others. The polyester spandex combination for the material provides an essentially form fitting article of clothing that fits snugly and securely to the forearm of the wearer. The snugness of the polyester spandex combination also eliminates the need for elastic or specialty fastening devices at either end of theforearm sleeve 100 while providing for an article that maintains its position and does not slide around on the arm. - One desirable characteristic of the
forearm sleeve 100 is the capability to include imprintedindicia 116 such as for sports teams, for example, so that the wearer can readily extend and/or wave their arms in celebration or excitement. The combination of polyester and spandex provides a fabric that reduces or eliminates the likelihood of ink imprinted on thebody 110 fading over time. In such an embodiment, the imprintedindicia 116 maintains its color and vibrancy so that the forearm sleeve provides reliable use at sports or entertainment events well beyond the life of typical sporting attire. - The
forearm sleeve 100 is placed on the arm of the wearer by simply inserting the arm, hand first, through thefirst opening 312 of theforearm sleeve 100. The arm is then extended through thebody 110 of theforearm sleeve 100 until the hand protrudes through thesecond opening 314. Adjustments are made to the fit by simply pulling from either end of theforearm sleeve 100 until thebody 110 fits snugly and securely from the wrist to near the elbow. Adjustments are made to the location of the imprintedindicia 116 by simply turning thebody 110 while pulling from either end to keep or maintain the general location of theforearm sleeve 100. -
FIG. 4 is a view from the small end or thesecond end 114 of theforearm sleeve 100.FIG. 5 is a side view of theforearm sleeve 100.FIG. 6 is a view from the large end or thefirst end 112 of theforearm sleeve 100. Thebody 110 of theforearm sleeve 100 includes afirst hem 512 proximal to thefirst end 112 of theforearm sleeve 100, that is near the elbow of the wearer. - Similarly, the
body 110 includes asecond hem 514 distal to thefirst end 112, that is near thesecond end 114 and thus near the wrist of the wearer. Additionally, theforearm sleeve 100 is a one piece fabric and is sewn together along theseam 610. Theseam 610 extends from thefirst end 112 to thesecond end 114 of thebody 114. -
FIG. 7 is an unassembled view of theforearm sleeve 100. Thefirst end 112 and thesecond end 114 form the fold lines for each end of theforearm sleeve 100. The first material end 712 of thebody 110 is folded over the first end 112 (first end fold line) toward thefirst hem 512 line. This fold makes the firstend fold line 112 become thefirst end 112. Similarly, the second material end 714 of thebody 110 is folded over the second end 112 (second end fold line). This fold makes the secondend fold line 114 become thesecond end 114. The first andsecond hems first end 112 and thesecond end 114 of theforearm sleeve 100. - Fold
line 730 and the edges of the body 110 (seam lines 610 a, 610 b) are shown for illustrative purposes to indicate how thebody 110 is assembled into theforearm sleeve 100. The edges 610 a, 610 b (seam line 610) extending between the first material end 712 and the second material end 714 are joined together to form theseam line 610. - The illustrated embodiment shown in
FIG. 7 also illustrates two exemplary indicia regions 720 a, 720 b. These are typical regions where imprintedindicia 116 are applied to thebody 110 of theforearm sleeve 100. Those of skill in the art will readily appreciate that imprintedindicia 116 may be placed at virtually any location of thebody 110 of theforearm sleeve 100. -
FIG. 8 is an illustration of a pair offorearm sleeves 100 that include imprintedindicia 116. Theforearm sleeves 100 are used in pairs and can also be used singly. The illustrated embodiment shows both sides of the pair offorearm sleeves 100. That is, one side of theforearm sleeves 100 shown inFIG. 8 shows imprintedindicia 116 that indicates “Go Team” while the opposite side of thesame forearm sleeve 100 shows imprintedindicia 116 that indicates “State”. Of course, the actual imprintedindicia 116 will vary as great as the numbers of sports teams, entertainers, and the like. - From the foregoing description, it will be recognized by those skilled in the art that a
forearm sleeve 100 has been disclosed. Theforearm sleeve 100 provides for covering the forearm of a person while also providing a decorative or fashion statement. Theforearm sleeve 100 is suitable for being worn at sports and entertainment events such as soccer, football, concerts, automobile racing, and the like. - While the present invention has been illustrated by description of several embodiments and while the illustrative embodiments have been described in considerable detail, it is not the intention of the applicant to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such detail. Additional advantages and modifications will readily appear to those skilled in the art. The invention in its broader aspects is therefore not limited to the specific details, representative apparatus and methods, and illustrative examples shown and described. Accordingly, departures may be made from such details without departing from the spirit or scope of applicant's general inventive concept.
