AI Technical Summary
Benefits of technology
The armband has several technical advantages. It can hold a phone or other electronic device in a secure pocket on the arm, allowing the phone to be viewed through the mesh. The pocket flap prevents items from falling out. The armband's elastic resilience keeps it in place without sliding downward. It is also constructed with sewn edges that are hidden from damage when the armband is worn with other objects.
Problems solved by technology
A problem with elastic armbands is that they hug the arm tightly so as not to slip downward and thereby are subject to catching stitches and fabric seams on jewelry when pulling the armband on or off.
Such catching of stitches often results in tearing of seams and ultimately the destruction of the armband.

Embodiment Construction
[0017]FIG. 1 illustrates a fabric armband 3 having an exterior surface 4 contiguous with an interior surface 5 and has a pocket 6 mounted on the exterior surface 4. As previously stated, the term “armband” refers herein to a band that may be applied to the upper arm, lower arm (forearm), and also to the leg, either thigh or calf The armband 3 is an assembly of several fabric pieces sewn together, including: an outer pocket portion 10, a pocket flap portion 20, an inner pocket portion 30, a connector portion 40, an inner body portion 50, and an outer body portion 60 as shown in FIG. 2A. The outer pocket portion 10, and the pocket flap portion 20 are of a semitransparent mesh fabric having minor stretch and resiliency characteristics, while the remaining portions 30-60 are of a more generally stretchable fabric such as Lycra® brand fabric which is also known by the trademark Spandex®, having a significant resiliency which allows the armband 3 to fit a range of arm sizes and also provi...

A fabric armband is sewn together from several pieces of fabric material with a pocket and pocket flap made of a semi-transparent mesh fabric and the remainder of the armband made from a highly resilient elastic fabric. The armband is formed as a truncated cone with open ends. The armband is ingeniously sewn so that most of the sewn edges of the various portions are secured so that they are not able to catch or rib on jewelry when being pulled on or off an arm.

BACKGROUND[0001]The present disclosure relates to the field of clothing accessories such as bands, scarfs, belts and the like and is more particularly related to armbands and leg bands. Armbands for carrying a cell phone are well known and sold by retailers such as Belkin, New Balance and Griffin.

Spring metal armbands have been used to hike-up long sleeve shirts and to secure a pant leg when riding a bicycle. When used as part of a military uniform it is called a brassard. Armbands have been used as a light reflecting element for safety at night by police and also have been used to exhibit a logo or other insignia in order to obtain publi...
