Abstract

A solar radiation arm shield includes an elongated C-shaped substantially rigid shell of a preselected material with a predetermined interior partial circumference defining first and second end edges and first and second side edges. There is a first adjustable releasable attachment strap with separate engageable portions fixedly attached to each of the first and second side edges proximal the first end edge for removable attachment to a wearer, and at least one additional releasable attachment strap has portions fixedly attached to both the first and second side edges.

1 . A solar radiation arm shield comprising:
 a) an elongated C-shaped substantially rigid shell of a preselected material with a predetermined length and predetermined interior partial circumference defining first and second end edges and first and second side edges;   b) a first releasable adjustable attachment means with separate engageable portions fixedly attached to opposing said first and second side edges proximal said first end edge; and   c) at least a second releasable attachment means with separate engageable portions fixedly attached to opposing said first and second side edges.   
   
   
       2 . The solar radiation arm shield, according to  claim 1 , wherein said rigid shell further includes at least one elongated foam pad disposed on an inner surface of said shell. 
   
   
       3 . The solar radiation arm shield, according to  claim 1 , wherein said first and second attachment means are adjustable. 
   
   
       4 . The solar radiation arm shield, according to  claim 1 , wherein said adjustable releasable attachment means is a strap fixedly attached to first said side edge engageable with an attachment loop fixedly attached to said second side edge; one surface of said strap having a hook portion and a loop portion, in operation said unattached end of said strap is threaded through said attachment loop and then back towards said attached end and said hook and loop portions of said strap are releasably attached. 
   
   
       5 . The solar radiation arm shield, according to  claim 1 , wherein said preselected material is a substantially rigid plastic. 
   
   
       6 . The solar radiation arm shield, according to  claim 5 , wherein said plastic is one of opaque, translucent, and tinted transparent. 
   
   
       7 . The solar radiation arm shield, according to  claim 1 , wherein indicia are affixed to an exterior surface of said shell. 
   
   
       8 . The solar radiation arm shield, according to  claim 1 , wherein indicia are printed on an exterior surface. 
   
   
       9 . The solar radiation arm shield, according to  claim 1 , wherein said adjustable means is an elastic band and opposing stud.
