A flap or pad extends from one end of the wristband, with the flap or pad being an integrally formed extension of the wristband and made of the same absorbent, stretchable, fabric material as the wristband. The flap or pad lies substantially flatwise against the back of one's hand when the wristband is being worn.

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A combination wristband and back of the hand pad for absorbing and wiping perspiration from the forehead and face of the wearer, said combination comprising a circumferential wristband; a pad extending from one end of said wristband, such that said pad lies substantially flatwise against the back of one's hand when the wristband is being worn; said wristband and pad being formed from an integral, elongate, tubular piece of fabric, wherein the fabric is an absorbent material which is elastic and stretchable in a circumferential direction; and an elongate, generally arc-shaped cut out extends longitudinally inwardly from one end of said tubular piece, such that the one end portion of the tubular piece adjacent to the cut out forms said pad and the remaining, tubular, other end portion of said piece of fabric forms said wristband.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
136 words
A combination wristband and back of the hand pad for absorbing and wiping perspiration from the forehead and face of the wearer, said combination comprising a circumferential wristband; a pad extending from one end of said wristband, such that said pad lies substantially flatwise against the back of one's hand when the wristband is being worn; said wristband and pad being formed from an integral, elongate, tubular piece of fabric, wherein the fabric is an absorbent material which is elastic and stretchable in a circumferential direction; and an elongate, generally arc-shaped cut out extends longitudinally inwardly from one end of said tubular piece, such that the one end portion of the tubular piece adjacent to the cut out forms said pad and the remaining, tubular, other end portion of said piece of fabric forms said wristband.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
The combination wristband and back of the hand pad in accordance with claim 1, wherein said cut out has a width in the circumferential direction of said tubular piece of fabric which is less than one-half the circumferential dimension of said tubular piece of fabric.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The combination wristband and back of the hand pad in accordance with claim 1, wherein the internal end of said cut out is arcuate in shape.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
83 words
The combination wristband and back of the hand pad in accordance with claim 1 wherein the opposite ends and of said tubular piece are turned back upon the tubular piece so that the opposite ends meet to thereby form a double walled, tubular member having folded, finished ends; said elongate, generally arch-shaped cut out extends longitudinally inwardly from one of the finished ends of said double walled, tubular member, with, the edges of the cut out being sewn to form a finished edge.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
The combination wristband and back of the hand pad in accordance with claim 4, wherein said cut out has a width in the circumferential direction of said double walled, tubular member which is less than one-half the circumferential dimension of said double walled, tubular member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The combination wristband and back of the hand pad in accordance with claim 4, wherein the internal end of said cut out is arcuate in shape.
