Benefits of technology

The present invention is a convenient and easy-to-use sweatband that can be used to wipe sweat from various areas of the body during physical activities. The sweatband has three main elements: a towel, a sweatband, and a wrist strap. The user removes sweat using the towel on the palm of their hand and then quickly retracts it back to the wrist region using a folded design and elastic band. The towel can be easily detached from the sweatband or wrist element for washing or replacement. The technical effect of this invention is to provide an efficient and effective solution for sweat removal during physical activities.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, carrying a towel or placing a towel nearby becomes inconvenient, particularly if the activity the individual is involved is physical in nature or requires a good deal of movement or changing of position.
Also, many view placing the towel on the ground or on a piece of equipment as being unsanitary.
In addition, other devices, such as a standard sweatband or headband, are unable to conform to or be utilized around the head, neck, face, and hand regions; thus, they are limited in their effectiveness and utility.
They also have two other problems: first, they lack the capacity to absorb large amounts of sweat as compared to a hand towel; and second, they address the absorption of sweat solely at the forehead and wrist locations.
This design does not allow conformity to the face, neck or other regions to adequately wipe sweat from those areas.
This device is limited in the areas it can remove sweat from and also restricts the user's motion and activity while removing the sweat.
It, however, is not practical for most activities due to its bulkiness and weight.

Abstract

The inventive concept is a wristband or sweatband towel combination which is attached to the wrist of a user who is involved in sporting or working activities and who uses the towel for wiping perspiration from various parts of the body of the user. The wristband or sweatband surrounds the wrist and may have a way of separately attaching the towel to the wristband. This means that it can be separated at any time. The towel itself can be folded into half or completely into a fully retracted position to thereby be placed on top of the wristband. At this location the towel is usable to wipe perspiration in a limited fashion.
