| Abstract: |
An arm restraining device adapted to be attached over the frontal surface of an arm including a rigid support member adapted to partly surround the elbow section of the arm, an inner and outer flexible membrane disposed in sandwiching relationship on either side of the support member and belt segments extending from the longitudinal edges of the membranes for surrounding the arm. The support member is generally shaped in the form of a longitudinal section of a cylinder, the longitudinal axis of the cylinder being further convolved to retain the elbow in a partly bent position. A layer of foam rubber is further interposed between the inner membrane and the arm to distribute the forces produced by inadvertent elbow articulation over large areas of the arm.

First Claim:
Show all 4 claims |
We claim:
1. An arm restraining device for use in bowling activities, comprising:
- a. a rigid shell support structure being continuous in contour conformed into a substantially longitudinally extending segment of a cylinder having linearly extending first and second sections, said first and second linearly extending sections intersecting each other at a predetermined angle proximate the longitudinal center of said cylinder and adapted to be secured substantially contiguous the biceps and inner forearm for distributing force loads over a substantial arm area:
- b. an exteriorly overlying, partly expandable membrane disposed over the exterior of said continuously contoured support structure;
- c. an interiorly overlying, partly extendable membrane disposed over the interior of said support structure secured to said exteriorly overlying membrane distal of the longitudinal edges of said support structure;
- d. a layer of open cell foam attached to said interiorly overlying member, said layer being positionally located in mating engagement with said biceps and inner forearm for absorbing force loads and perspiration; and,
- e. securing means attached proximate the opposing longitudinal edges and center of said membrane for securing an arm on the interior of said structure in a predetermined joint alignment.
