First Claim:
Show all 4 claims |
What is claimed is:
1. A holder for an object of relatively light weight and compact shape such as a tennis ball or the like, the holder adapted to be worn on the lower arm, comprising:
- an elastic tube, fabricated of material containing a major element characterized by soft absorbency for comfort on the arm and absorbence of perspiration, and adaptable to be stretched over the hand and worn on the arm; and
- a pouch attached to said elastic tube, said pouch including a substantially circular elastic band in relatively tangential attached position on said elastic tube for receiving and gripping the object to be held, and a shallow generally semi-circular loop of elastic material having its ends attached to said elastic band for supporting said object when in the pouch, and the width of the material of the loop being less than the diameter of said substantially circular elastic band for providing openings between the sides of said loop and said elastic band for application of pressure on the object in the removal of the object from the pouch,
- the material of said elastic tube being of sufficient thickness and absorbency to deter the flow of perspiration therethrough to the object being held, and the elastic tube being of sufficient width to underlie the loop and cooperate therewith to prevent direct contact of the object with perspiration on the arm of the wearer.
