Patent ID: 7290290

Claim:
A method of making a waterproof sleeve, having at least one open end, for the limbs or torso comprising the following steps: a. placing a tubular film material over a form sized for a human limb such that an edge of the material is exposed, positioning a first elastic band over the film material at a distance from the edge, b. folding the edge of the film over the band so that the band rests in a crease of the resulting fold, and sealing the folded portion, forming an encased band that is inwardly biased and forms an interior ledge to prevent liquid from entering the sleeve's interior region, c. positioning a second elastic band approximately 2 ½ to 3 inches below and parallel to the first band and repeating step (b), forming a second encased band that is inwardly biased and forms a second interior ledge to further prevent liquid from entering the sleeve's interior region, and whereby the encasement structure preserves the structural integrity of the bands.
