DETAIL DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INVENTION

All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.


The present invention is an arm sleeve with a translucent window so that the present invention allows an individual to view or operate their wrist wearable computing devices without rolling up the arm sleeve. The wrist wearable computing device explained hereinafter includes, but is not limited to, a smart watch, a step counter, a fitness tracker, a medical device, a music player, and any other types of wrist worn smart devices. Furthermore, the present invention can be an individual clothing item such as an arm sleeve cover or integrated into an article of clothing 14 such as a body suit, an athletic wear, a long sleeve shirt, and an outer wear. The present invention can be utilized as both mean women arm sleeve as the configuration and the functionality of the present invention are not limiting a specific gender. The present invention can be made as a compression fitting or a loss fitting to accommodate variety of user preferences.


In reference to FIG. 1-2, the present invention comprises an arm sleeve garment 1, a wrist opening 9, and a translucent panel 10 as the main components. The arm sleeve garment 1 comprises a hand section 2, a wrist section 3, and a forearm section 6 in order to properly and fashionably cover an individual's arm. The hand section 2, which fully or partially cover the user's hand, is terminally connected to the wrist section 3 as the wrist section 3 generally covers the user's wrist area, More specifically, the hand section 2 comprises a thumb-receiving opening 21 and at least one finger-receiving opening 22, wherein the thumb-receiving opening 21 and the at least one finger-receiving opening 22 are positioned offset from the wrist section 3, and wherein the thumb-receiving opening 21 and the at least one finger-receiving opening 22 are positioned offset from each other. The forearm section 6 that generally covers the user's forearm is terminally connected to the wrist section 3 and positioned opposite of the hand section 2. As a result, the arm sleeve garment 1 is able to extend from the user's hand to the user's forearm thus forming the arm sleeve cover. In reference to FIG. 8, the arm sleeve garment 1 can further comprise an elbow section 7 and an arm section 8 when the arm sleeve garment 1 is integrated onto the article of clothing 14. More specifically, the elbow section 7 is terminally connected to the forearm section 6 and positioned opposite of the wrist section 3. The arm section 8 is terminally connected to the elbow section 7 and positioned opposite of the forearm section 6 thus enabling the arm section 8 to be connected to the article of clothing 14 opposite of the elbow section 7.


In reference to FIG. 1-2, the wrist opening 9 is integrated into the wrist section 3 so that the wrist wearable computing device can be worn within the wrist opening 9, The translucent panel 10 is perimetrically connected to the wrist section 3 about the wrist opening 9 in such a way that the translucent panel 10 enables the operation of the wrist wearable computing device. Depending upon different embodiment of the present invention, the placement of the wrist opening 9 can differ to accommodate different user preferences.


In reference to FIG. 5, the wrist opening 9 is delineated by the wrist section 3 within a first embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, the wrist opening 9 circumferencely extends around the wrist section 3 as the wrist section 3 becomes the wrist opening 9. The translucent panel 10 then functions as the connecting member in between the hand section 2 and the forearm section 6. In other words, the translucent panel 10 is perimetrically connected to the hand section 2 and forearm section 6 so that the wrist wearable computing device can be viewed or operated by the user.


In reference to FIG. 6, the wrist opening 9 is positioned adjacent to an upper section of the wrist section 3 within a second embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, the wrist opening 9 traverses through a dorsal panel 4 of the wrist section 3 as the translucent panel 10 is perimetrically connected to the dorsal panel 4. As a result, the wrist wearable computing device can be viewed or operated by the user in reference to the dorsal body surface of the user's arm.


In reference to FIG. 7, the wrist opening 9 is positioned adjacent to a lower section of the wrist section 3 within a third embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, the wrist opening 9 traverses through a palmer panel 5 of the wrist section 3 as the translucent panel 10 is perimetrically connected to the palmer panel 5. As a result, the wrist wearable computing device can be viewed or operated by the user in reference to the palmer body surface of the user's arm.


The present invention further comprises a triple stretch stitching 13 as shown in FIG. 2. The translucent panel 10 is perimetrically connected to the wrist section 3 by the triple stretch stitching 13 so that the translucent panel 10 is able to withstand constant movements of the user without structurally weakening the present invention.


The present invention further comprises a layer of tint 11 as shown in FIG. 3. The layer of tint 11 is superimposed over the translucent panel 10 in order to reduce ultraviolet (UV) radiation and protect sensitive components of the wrist wearable computing device.


The present invention further comprises a thermally conductive compound 12 as shown in FIG. 4. The thermally conductive compound 12 is impregnated into the translucent panel 10 in order to enable the touch capabilities of specific wrist wearable computing devices.


In reference to FIG. 4, the translucent panel 10 comprises about 86 percent of nylon fiber and about 14 percent of synthetic elastic fiber so that the structural integrity and exceptional elasticity can be attained within the present invention. However, the translucent panel 10 can also be made of any other similar materials that complies with similar material properties.


Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
