Abstract
Disclosed is a quick-donning mini-jacket with matching left and right segments, either one of which may independently be used to cover and/or protect a baseball pitcher's throwing arm. Upon insertion of the pitcher's arm into either segment, the wearer may experience a snug, comfortable fit of the garment about the perimeter of the wearer's shoulder and arm, by virtue of an inner elastic band. Should the inner elastic band be insufficient for a close and comfortable fit, an adjustment strap is provided, typically of a hook-and-felt fastening mechanism. By adjusting tightness of the strap, the tensile force about the shoulder joint may be increased a comfortable amount. In this manner, a pitcher's arm can be kept warm, relaxed, and relatively free from muscle tightening or tension that might result from a just-completed pitching session.

- (1) Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to the field of athletics, particularly to the sport of baseball. A great variety of equipment, performance enhancing devices, and protective clothing is used in this sport. Especially notable is the catcher's mask, leg and arm padding, throat protector, etc. When actively engaged in a game, it is normally necessary for the pitcher to take safeguards for his throwing arm. Between innings, pitchers must keep their throwing arm warm in order to prevent stiff muscles and/or soreness from developing due to the “cooling” effect of non-throwing while sitting on the bench. This includes such actions as wrapping a bath towel around the throwing arm, or inserting the pitching arm into one sleeve of a regular athletic jacket. The inventive device herein serve to protect the pitcher's arm from losing its flexibility and warmth when worn on the pitching arm during this time period.
- (2) Description of the Related Art, Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98.
- U.S. patent application #2009/0000002A1 (Jan. 1, 2009) A sleeve for use by baseball or softball pitchers is provided. The sleeve covers the entirety of the arm and shoulder and is easily slipped on and off. Pitchers can thereby keep their pitching arm warm by wearing the sleeve between innings. Alternatively, pockets or other securing means are provided whereby a wearer can add a heating or cooling pad or bag so that the arm can be warmed or cooled. The sleeve is also useful for purposes other than keeping a pitching arm warm. For example, an arm that is sore from muscle strain or after an operation can be cooled by using cold packs in the sleeve so that swelling is minimized.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,974,586 (Nov. 2, 1999) The invention is a sunlight-blocking sleeve for protecting the skin on the arms and shoulders of a wearer from sunlight. The inventive device includes a pair of sleeves with each sleeve having opposite wrist and shoulder openings and which is adapted for wearing on the arm and shoulder of a wearer the sleeve. An elongate flexible strap is coupled to the sleeve around the periphery of the shoulder. The flexible strap has a free end portion which is attachable to another portion of the flexible strap to hold the sleeve over the shoulder of a wearer.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,035,001 (Jul. 30, 1991) Discloses a garment for use by athletes for retaining body heat adjacent to the arm and shoulder muscles and the major muscles utilized while throwing an object. The throwing motion utilizes the upper back and torso muscles in addition to the shoulder and arm muscles. Thus, it is desirable to retain heat on these muscles to prevent them from “tightening up” while the athlete is idle, such as between innings of a baseball game.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,985,934 (Jan. 22, 1991) A, sleeve to be worn by a sports player, such as a baseball pitcher, is disclosed herein for covering the favored pitching arm of the player and the sleeve includes a pair of inside pockets located adjacent to the elbow and shoulder joint areas intended to be kept warm. The pockets insertably receive a therapeutic pack, either an electrical heating device or a cold, pack as desired. The sleeve is attached to a partial torso covering portion to which securement straps are attached for releasably retaining the sleeve and torso covering portion.
- While resting on the bench between innings, the temperature of a pitcher's arm muscles can cool fairly rapidly. Upon taking his place on the pitching mound for the next inning, the pitcher must again undergo the stress of hard throwing, despite the throwing arm muscles having contracted due to the cooling effect between innings. The inventive concept herein assists in minimizing the contracting of the pitcher's arm muscles by providing a mechanism for retention of the muscles' heat during the bench sitting period.
- Essentially, the invention is a quick-donning mini-jacket fitted at an appropriate size for the pitcher's throwing arm, and/or the non-throwing arm. Almost all U.S. major league pitchers commonly wear a partially-donned jacket in between innings, even during summer months. Wearing half of a baseball jacket can be both cumbersome and inefficient. In contrast, the pitcher can maintain his throwing arm in readiness on the bench by inserting his arm into one sleeve of the mini jacket disclosed so that his arm is kept warm and relaxed. This will result in less soreness the next day, as well as a lower risk of injury during a pitcher's career.

Upon insertion of the arm into the left-handed segment 1, the wearer may have a snug comfortable fit of the garment about the shoulder perimeter by virtue of the left innerelastic band 7. The left innerelastic band 7 is constructed with sufficient tension so as to cause the left-handed segment 1 to graspingly and comfortably fit about the shoulder joint. - In the event that a wearer of either
segment 1, 2, of the mini jacket determines the need for greater tensioned force about the shoulder, he/she may make use of the left, right,adjustment strap left adjustment strap 11 is connected to a left innerelastic band 7, and the free end of theleft adjustment strap 11 comprises the feltcomponent 15 of a hook-and-felt fastening mechanism.FIG. 2 shows that the left innerelastic band 7 is attached to the shoulder area of the left segment 1 of the mini-jacket and continues around the shoulder area to attachingly underlie thehook component 13 of a hook-and-felt fastening mechanism. The left innerelastic band 7 further transitions into the left lowerelastic band 5. - Simply grasping the felt
component 15 and tugging ample length of thestrap 11, the tensile force about the shoulder joint is increased by placing feltcomponent 15 at a desirable location on the surface of thehook component 13. - Similarly, a wearer may desire a greater tensioning of the
right segment 2 of the mini-jacket. In viewingFIG. 2 , theright adjustment strap 12 is connected to a right innerelastic band 8, and the free end of theright adjustment strap 12 comprises the feltcomponent 16 of a hook-and-felt fastening mechanism. The right innerelastic band 8 is attached to the shoulder area of theright segment 2 of the mini-jacket and continues around the shoulder area to attachingly underlie thehook component 14 of a hook-and-felt fastening mechanism. The right innerelastic band 8 further transitions into the right lowerelastic band 6. By grasping the feltcomponent 16 and tugging ample length of thestrap 12, the tensile force about the shoulder joint is increased by placing the feltcomponent 16 at a desirable location on the surface of thehook component 14. -
FIG. 3 depicts a baseball pitcher wearing the left segment 1 of the mini jacket, having theleft adjustment strap 11 secured to theleft hook component 13 of the fastening mechanism. The inventive concept may also be fabricated with other than a hook-and-felt mechanism. For example, a strap comprising a free end having symmetrically-spaced holes for encompassing a frame-and-prong belt buckle attached to the other end of said strap may be used as the tension adjusting means. - In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the mini-jacket may be fabricated from plain material, or a special quilted fabric may be used, or any other appropriate, durable fabric. In any event, the construction of the material for the mini-jacket is preferably of an insulative material with layers of fabric, thereby providing protection from the elements and also cushioning and padding for the arm and elbow.
