ultra-lightweight thin stabilizing friction reducing video gaming vambrace

Abstract

The present disclosure provides an ultra-lightweight bendable or heat moldable friction reducing, stabilizing wearable device worn on the underside wrist and forearm of a user, whereby the device provides 3.5 millimeters of clearance for the user's hand and decreases friction on a mouse pad surface or the like. The current application is about increasing stability and lowering the friction of garners under side wrists and forearms on support surfaces by applying an ultra-thin layer of polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0022] FIG. 3 schematically illustrates how a person can wear it on their wrist and forearm.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] Detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiment are provided herein. It is to be understood, however, that the present invention may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed system, structure or manner.

[0024] Referring to the drawings, a gaming vambrace will now be described. The gaming vambrace consists of a thin flexible and or heat moldable wrist and forearm support 1, connected to this base member is 2 the low friction layer attached together by 3, six screw posts with a diameter of 6.35 millimeters and head diameter of 9.525 millimeters.

[0025] The forearm and wrist support 1 may be formed as a bendable and or heat moldable and relatively curved, longitudinal member having a length that is from the start of the wrist to the beginning of the elbow.

[0026] The forearm and wrist support 1 may be formed of an ultra-lightweight 3.175-millimeter-thick Ethylene-vinyl acetate or the like layer that bends with the straps to allow it to mold to the users desired diameter. This layer of Ethylene-vinyl acetate may also be heat treated and molded to the user's exact wrist and forearm shape.

[0027] The low friction layer 2 on the underside of the forearm and wrist support 1 may be formed of a low friction layer such as polytetrafluoroethylene with a thickness of equal to or greater than 0.015 millimeters.

[0028] The forearm and wrist support 1 is connected to the user's wrist and forearm via two bilateral straps 4 made of one-inch polypropylene webbing fixed with a hook and loop Velcro arrangement and slider piece 5 to allow the user to attach it to their wrist and forearm with their preferred tension and diameter.

[0029] While a specific embodiment has been shown and described, many variations are possible. With time, additional features may be employed. The particular shape or configuration of the platform or the interior configuration may be changed to suit the system or equipment with which it is used.

[0030] Having described the invention in detail, those skilled in the art will appreciate that modifications may be made to the invention without departing from its spirit. Therefore, it is not intended that the scope of the invention be limited to the specific embodiment illustrated and described. Rather, it is intended that the scope of this invention be determined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0031] The Abstract of the Disclosure is provided to allow the reader to quickly ascertain the nature of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. In addition, in the foregoing Detailed Description, it can be seen that various features are grouped together in various embodiments for the purpose of streamlining the disclosure. This method of disclosure is not to be interpreted as reflecting an intention that the claimed embodiments require more features than are expressly recited in each claim. Rather, as the following claims reflect, inventive subject matter lies in less than all features of a single disclosed embodiment. Thus, the following claims are hereby incorporated into the Detailed Description, with each claim standing on its own as a separately claimed subject matter.
