DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0030] In referring to the drawings, and in particular FIG. 1, the concept of this invention comprising a scarf, otherwise known as an infinity or harmony scarf 1 is shown applied to the neck of the wearer, the person P as noted, and in this particular configuration, the scarf functions for both fashion purposes and to add comfort to the wearer, particularly during cooler temperatures. The scarf 1 as noted in FIG. 2, is generally of a continuous design, that has sufficient openness at its center 2 to provide adequate clearance for application of the scarf to the neck of the wearer, as previously noted. In addition, the scarf has sufficient height, as at 3, so that when it is used and applied for its alternative purpose, as an arm support, it will have adequate material to drape underneath the arms of the wearer, to add support thereat.
[0031] As noted in FIG. 3, once the scarf 1 is applied to the upper arms of the wearer, it drapes downwardly, for some length, as noted at 4, below the folded arms of the wearer, in preparation for usage as an arm support. As can be seen in FIG. 4, which is a sectional view, with the frontal portion of the scarf being removed, as noted, the folded arms A of the user, are noted. It can be seen that the scarf at its lower end 4, does extend downwardly, for some distance, below those folded arms.
[0032] As noted in FIG. 5, the scar when draped around the arms of the user, fold about the outer surfaces of the arms, as can be seen at 5, in preparation for its application for supporting purposes. As can be seen in FIG. 6, which is a front view, the wearer grabs the lower edges, as at 6, of the scarf, at either side, and pulls those edges underneath of the lower arms L, and below the hands, so that the entire scarf now embraces the outer sides of the arms, as shown at 5, and likewise drapes under the grasping hands of the user, and in this position, functions to hold the arms inwardly against the body, and provides and under support for the lower arms and hands, to fully function as a supporting apparatus, as previously reviewed. Thus, when in this position, the user will have full arm support, does not need an adjacent arm rest for retention of the arms, holds the arms in a comfort position, having applicability when used for the various types of activities, as previously described, even for dosing, such as during travel, while being entertained, and for other occasions.
[0033] FIG. 7 provides a front view with the front section of the scarf 1 being opened, to show how each hand H will grasp the opposite lower edge of the scarf, as at 7 and 8, to hold the scarf under the lower arms, as at A, as previously described. In this manner, as can be readily understood, the scarf functions to provide full arm support, for the wearer, for a sustained period of time.
[0034] As previously alluded to, since the wearer might also be a male, who does not want to utilize an infinity scarf about his neck, the scarf may be formed of a length of the flexible scarf material, with its ends 9 and 10 being secured together by a zipper, as at 11, or by Velcro, clasp, buttons, or any other form of fastening means, that can hold the end edges of the scarf together, to form the continuous scarf for use for the purposes of this invention, which is to allow it to be installed and applied as an arm support, for the comfort of the user.
[0035] Variations or modifications to the subject of this invention may occur to those skilled in the art upon review of the development as provided herein. Such variations, if within the spirit of this invention, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of any claims to patent protection issuing upon this invention. The description of the invention in the preferred embodiment, and as depicted in the drawings, are primarily set forth for illustrative purposes only.
