| Abstract: |
A conveniently deployable arm-shield safety-pad uniquely configured to protect a professional waiter's arm-surface from injurious heat-exposure to hot dinner-plates during routine arm-borne restaurant serving procedures. The fixed inward-end of the elongated arm-shield is secured to one's forearm via a hook-&-loop fastening-strap; -the opposite outward-end having convenient finger-tip and thump retention-pockets, facilitating quick and easy roll-out deployment of the normally rolled-up protective pad material. Also set forth is a preferred flexile-laminate material employing at least one layer of reflective Mylar-film material; and including an outwardly exposed layer of high-coefficient of friction surfacing material,-serving to reduce slippage of the balanced dinner-plates. Once the waiter has completed a serving procedure, the finger-tips and thumb are withdrawn from their retention-pockets, enabling the arm-shield to be readily rolled-up one's arm into a compact stow-roll ready for subsequent reuse.
