Attachable, removable, and disposable sweatband strip

Abstract

A removable, attachable, and disposable sweatband strip that adheres directly to a body part so as to absorb sweat therefrom without having to wrap around or circumscribe that or other body parts.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A sweatband strip that adheres directly to a body part in such a way as to absorb sweat therefrom without wrapping the sweatband strip completely around or circumscribe the body part or another body part, the sweatband strip comprising:
 an absorbent layer attached to one side of a double-sided adhesive layer.   
     
     
         2 . The sweatband strip of  claim 1 , wherein a perimeter of the absorbent layer circumscribes a perimeter of the double-sided adhesive layer. 
     
     
         3 . The sweatband strip of  claim 2 , wherein the perimeter of the absorbent layer is one sixty-fourth of an inch to one eighth of an inch beyond the perimeter of the perimeter of the double-sided adhesive layer. 
     
     
         4 . The sweatband strip of  claim 2 , wherein the perimeter of the absorbent layer extends along a longitudinal axis for one or less inches to twelve or more inches. 
     
     
         5 . The sweatband strip of  claim 4 , further comprising a protective backing layer removably attached to the other side of the double-sided adhesive layer. 
     
     
         6 . The sweatband strip of  claim 5 , wherein the protective backing layer is coextensive with said other side of the double-sided adhesive layer. 
     
     
         7 . The sweatband strip of  claim 6 , wherein the absorbent layer is polyvinyl alcohol foam. 
     
     
         8 . The sweatband strip of  claim 7 , wherein the double-sided adhesive layer is medical grade. 
     
     
         9 . A method of absorbing or deflecting moisture from a dermal surface of a body part without circumscribing said body part, the method comprising:
 attaching an absorbent layer to one side of a double-sided adhesive layer; and   attaching the other side of the double-sided adhesive layer to said body part in such a way as to not circumscribe said body part.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein a perimeter of the absorbent layer circumscribes a perimeter of the double-sided adhesive layer. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the perimeter of the absorbent layer is one sixty-fourth of an inch to one eighth of an inch beyond the perimeter of the perimeter of the double-sided adhesive layer. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the perimeter of the absorbent layer extends along a longitudinal axis for one or less inches to twelve or more inches. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising: attaching and then removing a protective backing layer to the other side of the double-sided adhesive layer. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 rolling the absorbent layer and the double-sided adhesive layer into a rolled form;   selectively unrolling the rolled form; and   selectively cutting the absorbent layer and the double-sided adhesive layer to an unrolled length.
