Method of providing wings for human arms and apparatus for use thereof

Abstract

An over the elbow glove made up of fabric or other materials that creates a sleeve base using friction to keep it in place. Sewn into any seam of the glove / sleeve construction is fabric or other materials of any shape and proportion making a fabricated wing. The wearer's arm is used like a ballast to carry the wing.

Description

REFERENCE TO PRIOR APPLICATION [0001]This application claims the priority of provisional application 61 / 130,408, filed May 31, 2008 entitled WINGED-GLOVE / WINGED-SLEEVE AKA: SLEEVE / GLOVE TO CARRY A WING AKA: WHIMSY WINGS by Annette Segal.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The field of this invention relates generally to fabricated wings for human arms, and specifically toward artificial wings that are attached to the arms of a human rather than to the human's back.[0004]2. Description of the Prior Art[0005]In human experience, it is often the case that a person wishes to dress up as a being with wings, such as a bird, an insect, a fairy and the like. In the past, fabricated wings have been offered that protrude from the back of the wearer. The primary construction of prior art that create the illusion of a human with wings have included acrylic or other materials that cover the wire construction that forms the wing portion. Primarily, an elastic material...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]The preferred embodiment of the present invention teaches a specialized glove / sleeve that has a fabricated wing-like extension below the arm that is sewn into the seam of the glove, under the arm, above the arm or on any seam of the aforementioned glove or sleeve. The fabricated wing portion of the device may be any shape or size made from fabric or other materials. The wing can be gathered, pleated, layered or darted. Similarly, any other type of specialty stitching that enhances the desired look of the fabricated wing can also be used.

Problems solved by technology

Such wire construction makes the use of these types of wings uncomfortable and awkward.

The bulk of the wire and harness constructions makes the wings cumbersome to transport and burdensome to store for later use.

Unfortunately, the elastic often used does not stop the wings from slipping and falling out of place, thereby creating an unwieldy, bulky and unreliable fit.
