Patent ID: 7921470

Claim:
A device for protecting a sleeve of a garment on a wearer's forearm comprising: a body of material formed in the shape of a truncated cone comprising a wide end and a narrow end wherein both ends are open; a conduit formed by a seam near the narrow end of the truncated cone; an elastic cord having two cord ends, the cord located within the conduit wherein each cord end protrudes out of the conduit via two access holes spaced apart and wherein the wide end of the truncated cone has a circumference greater than the elastic cord thereby forming a pocket where the sleeve of the garment is held; a cord lock for securing the two ends of the elastic cord; and a spring loaded release mechanism having closely spaced openings for the cord which bias the conduit to a V-shape between the access holes to hide the seam and providing a means for releasably locking and adjusting the cord ends.
