ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to the art of garment shields and more particularly to a disposable underarm garment shield for colored sheer and semi-transparent garments.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Underarm garment shields are well known in the art. They are used to prevent perspiration from soiling and discoloring ladies' garments. Two types exist in the art, disposable and non-disposable. Their effectiveness is due to a moisture absorbable material between an armpit and a garment.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A primary object of the present invention is to provide a disposable shield which is not noticeable when applied to sheer, dark color garments. Another object is to provide a shield which is easy to apply. The invention broadly comprises a kidney shaped shield made of a laminated material. One layer of the material is a fibrous cellulose moisture absorbent material. The other layer is a thin plastic moisture impervious material. The moisture absorbent material may have any color, provided it is a non-irritant. The thin moisture impervious material has a dark color, such as black or grey.
Further objects, benefits and features of the invention will become apparent from the ensuing detailed description and drawings which illustrate and describe the invention. The best mode which is contemplated in practicing the invention together with the manner of using the invention are disclosed and the property in which exclusive rights are claimed is set forth in each of a series of numbered claims at the conclusion of the detailed description:
