ARM SUPPORT

The present invention relates in general to arm supports and more particularly concerns a novel article of manufacture for supporting the upper arms in a generally horizontal position. The support is light weight, relatively easy to fabricate, low in cost, and especially useful for relieving arm fatigue of a woman who styles her own hair.

For a number of years, home permanent wave kits have been very popular with many women because attractive hair styling may be obtained at relatively low cost. However, the time required for a woman to complete a home permanent is considerable since each curl must be individually formed by appropriately inserting a curler. As a result, the arms remain extended above the shoulders for long periods of time and become extremely tired. In addition, a large number of time-consuming movements are required to grasp the individual curlers from a dressing table and instert them into the hair.

Accordingly, the present invention contemplates and has as an important object reducing the arm fatigue of a woman styling her own hair.

Another object of the invention is to provide means helpful in reducing the time-motion product in connection with styling one's hair by reducing the extent of arm motion involved in transferring pin curlers from a receptacle to the hair.

It is still another object of the invention to achieve the preceding objects with a low-cost light-weight structure of simple form.
