| Abstract: |
An arm protective garment includes an elongated tubular sleeve made of a flexible fabric and defining an elongated internal cavity extending between opposite ends. The sleeve is open at one end for slipping over a driver's hand and arm and for receiving the driver's arm in the internal cavity of the sleeve. The garment also includes a mitten of flexible fabric disposed on the other end of the sleeve and defining an internal pocket for receiving the driver's hand therein. The mitten has only a thumb opening defined therein for extension of the driver's thumb from the mitten. The garment further includes a flexible strap attached to the one open end of the sleeve for encircling the neck or chest of the driver for releasable reattachment to the one open end of the sleeve to retain the sleeve on the driver's arm.

I claim:
1. An arm protective garment, consisting essentially of:
- (a) an elongated tubular sleeve of flexible material having a pair of opposite ends and defining an elongated internal cavity extending between said opposite ends, said sleeve defining an opening at one of said opposite ends thereof for slipping over a hand and arm of a person and for receiving and enclosing the arm in said internal cavity of said sleeve up to but not including a shoulder of the person connected to the arm such that said sleeve is of a length only covering the arm and hand of the person, said opening defined at said one end of said sleeve being disposed in a generally oblique relationship to the length of the sleeve so as to define an upper portion protruding beyond a lower portion of said one end of said sleeve;
- (b) a mitten defined by the other of said opposite ends of said sleeve having an internal pocket defined by a closed terminal end portion of said internal cavity of said sleeve for receiving and enclosing the hand of the person therein, said mitten having only a thumb opening defined therein on a side portion of said sleeve for permitting extension therethrough of a thumb of the enclosed hand of the person to the exterior of said mitten such that said mitten encloses all of the fingers on the hand of the person, permitting only the thumb on the hand to protrude outwardly through said thumb opening of said mitten, said mitten being formed as an integral portion of said sleeve such that said sleeve and mitten constitute a continuous tubular enclosure and said internal cavity of said sleeve and said internal pocket of said mitten communicate with one another for receiving the hand and arm of the person; and
- (c) an elongated flexible strap having a pair of opposite ends, one of said opposite ends of said strap being fixedly attached to said upper portion of said one end of said sleeve and the other of said opposite ends of said strap being releasably attached to said upper portion of said one end of said sleeve side by side with said one end of said strap, the portion of said strap extending between said opposite ends thereof being adapted to encircle the neck of the person adjacent to the arm of the person so as to provide the only means to releasably retain said sleeve and mitten on the arm and hand of the person.
