Arm braces that maintain the arm straight and fully extended and are also comfortable to wear even in hot weather

Abstract

This invention claims new methods to make arm braces that maintain the users' arms straight and fully extended and are also comfortable to wear even in hot weather, by making the braces with nonuniform thickness, their inside surface contoured, and providing them with a plurality of holes penetrating through their inner cushioning liner which are aligned with a plurality of holes penetrating through their outer layer in order to create ventilating channels to allow air to circulate directly between the user's arm and outside the device. Embodiments of the arm braces made by these new methods can be used as golf swing training devices that maintain the golfers' lead arms straight and fully extended and are also comfortable to wear even in hot weather. One embodiment can be described as a clamshell tubular device comprising two partially tubular sections which are hinged lengthwise of the arm and of which at least one section is inflexible lengthwise of the arm, another embodiment can be described as a sheet which is wrapped on the lead arm until it becomes inflexible lengthwise of the arm and another embodiment can be described as a partially tubular device that is inflexible lengthwise of the arm.

1 . A new method to make arm braces that will prevent all sections of the arms on which they are applied including the forearms from pivoting inside the device, will prevent the arms from bending at the elbow and will maintain the arms straight and fully extended, by providing the said arm braces with an outer layer and an inner cushioning lining layer wherein the inner cushioning lining layer has a nonuniform thickness and its inside surface is contoured.  
     
     
         2 . A new method to make arm braces that will be comfortable to wear even in hot weather, by providing the said arm braces with an inner cushioning lining layer and an outer layer, wherein a plurality of holes that penetrate through the inner cushioning lining layer are aligned with a plurality of holes that penetrate through the outer layer to create direct ventilating channels that will allow air to circulate directly between the users' arms and outside the device in order to prevent the arms from overheating and being uncomfortable even in hot weather.  
     
     
         3 . A new method to make arm braces that will be comfortable to wear even in hot weather and will prevent all sections of the arms on which are applied including the forearms from pivoting inside the device, will prevent the arms from bending at the elbow and will maintain the arms straight and fully extended, by providing the said arm braces with an outer layer and an inner cushioning lining layer wherein the inner cushioning lining layer has a nonuniform thickness and its inside surface is contoured and wherein a plurality of holes that penetrate through the inner cushioning lining layer are aligned with a plurality of holes that penetrate through the outer layer to create direct ventilating channels that will allow air to circulate directly between the users' arms and outside the device in order to prevent the arms from overheating and being uncomfortable even in hot weather.
