Abstract

A washcloth sleeve is disclosed. The washcloth sleeve includes a cylindrical tube body having a first opening at a first longitudinal end and a second opening at a second longitudinal end.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A washcloth sleeve, comprising: a cylindrical tube body defining a longitudinal axis; the cylindrical tube body having a first opening at a first longitudinal end and a second opening at a second longitudinal end opposite to the first longitudinal end relative to the longitudinal axis; wherein at least one of the first opening and the second opening is stretchable radially outwards by at least 10 percent of its initial diameter. 
     
     
         2 . The washcloth sleeve of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the first opening and the second opening stretches by at least 50 percent of its initial diameter. 
     
     
         3 . The washcloth sleeve of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the first opening and the second opening stretches up to 400 percent of its initial diameter. 
     
     
         4 . The washcloth sleeve of  claim 1 , wherein the second opening defines an inner diameter equal to or smaller than that of the first opening. 
     
     
         5 . The washcloth sleeve of  claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical tube body has an outer diameter equal to or greater than that of the first longitudinal end and of the second longitudinal end. 
     
     
         6 . The washcloth sleeve of  claim 1 , wherein the first longitudinal end and the second longitudinal end have an elastic band delimiting the first opening and the second opening, respectively, and wherein a material of the cylindrical tube body is folded around the elastic band of the first longitudinal end and of the second longitudinal end. 
     
     
         7 . The washcloth sleeve of  claim 6 , wherein the cylindrical tube body is composed of a base material including at least of cotton and polyester or other natural and man-made materials, and wherein Terry Loops are woven into the base material. 
     
     
         8 . The washcloth of  claim 1 , wherein the first opening is configured to fit a forearm of a person, and the second opening is configured to fit a wrist of a person. 
     
     
         9 . The washcloth of  claim 1 , wherein an outer diameter of the cylindrical tube body is 10 to 200 percent larger than that of the first opening and the second opening, a more focused 30 to 175 percent according to a first implementation, and an even more focused implementation of 40 to 100 percent according to a second implementation. 
     
     
         10 . The washcloth of  claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical tube body has a radial width to axial length of 15 to 200 percent.
