Absorbent sleeve

摘要

An absorbent sleeve configured to rest above a shoulder of a user and enable a user to envelop a user's head, thereby enabling the user to absorb fluids disposed thereon by manual manipulation thereof, without the sleeve being in substantial contact with other parts of a user's body. The sleeve includes a cylindrical member having a looped layer of absorbent material. The cylindrical member includes a first aperture and a second aperture. The absorbent sleeve includes a first cinch loop coupled about the first aperture of the cylindrical member. The absorbent sleeve includes a second cinch loop coupled about the second aperture of the cylindrical member. The cylindrical member includes a waterproof layer disposed on an exterior surface thereof.

1. An absorbent sleeve configured to rest above a shoulder of a user and to enable a user to envelop a user's head, thereby enabling the user to absorb fluids disposed thereon by manual manipulation thereof, without the sleeve being in substantial contact with other parts of a user's body, consisting essentially of:
a) a cylindrical member having a cross-sectional area between about 200 cm^2 and about 450 cm^2, and a height between about 20 cm and about 30 cm, consisting essentially of:
a1) a looped layer of absorbent material;a2) a first aperture through a first end of the cylindrical member; anda3) a second aperture through a second end of the cylindrical member, opposite the first end; b) a first cinch loop coupled about the first aperture of the cylindrical member and consisting essentially of:
b1) a first mode, wherein a cross-sectional area of the first cinch loop is substantially smaller than the cross-sectional area of the cylindrical member; andb2) a second mode, wherein a cross-sectional area of the first cinch loop is substantially equal to the cross-sectional area of the cylindrical member; and c) an elastic loop coupled about the second aperture of the cylindrical member and consisting essentially of:
c1) a first mode, wherein a cross-sectional area of the elastic loop is substantially smaller than the cross-sectional area of the cylindrical member; andc2) a second mode, wherein a cross-sectional area of the elastic loop is substantially equal to the cross-sectional area of the cylindrical member; and wherein the absorbent sleeve does not include a hood.
