US Patent:

20130061364, Mar 14, 2013

Filed:

May 19, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/698974

Inventors:

Stephen Robb - Henderson NV, US

International Classification:

A41D 13/08

US Classification:

2 21

Abstract:

An inexpensive, practical hygienic finger protector is provided, which includes a tubular sheath having a proximal open end and a distal closed end. The open end is adapted to receive a human finger to approximately the first joint with the tip of the finger, when inserted, abutting the closed end. The finger protector further includes a knob like protuberance imbedded into the closed end of the sheath, disposed below the downward-facing fingertip of the inserted finger. The finger protector guards against contamination by dirt or microorganisms, while allowing the wearer to input data or signatures into public data input devices such as keypads or s keypads, card readers, and signature recorders. Optionally aspects, including a keychain attachment, embedded data storage, and aesthetic cut-outs are presented.

Inventors:

Stephen M. Robb - Henderson NV, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/0354

US Classification:

345179

Abstract:

A hygienic finger protector includes a tubular sheath and an elastic stylus extending therefrom. The sheath is sized to be placed on a finger, extending to approximately the first joint. The elastic stylus is received within an aperture formed in the sheath, adjacent to the closed distal end. A securement flange extends inside the sheath and an enlarged stylus head projects outwardly from the sheath. The elastic stylus is electrically conductive enabling use of the stylus on touch-capacitive screens. A set of shims that are selectively attachable inside the sheath enables fine-tuning the interior sheath dimension. An appropriately-sized shim is placed inside and attached to the sheath to conform the interior size to that required for a snug fit.
