Abstract

Thumb and finger stalls for being worn while using electronic touch screen devices for preventing fingerprints and smudges from being left behind on the touch screen, comprising a single layer of thin stretch fabric material on the palm portion of the stalls to ensure tactility and dexterity for improved precision.

Description

[Title established by the ISA under Rule 37.2] THUMB AND FINGER STALLS FOR USE WITH ELECTRONIC TOUCH SCREENS
The invention relates to thumb and finger stalls, worn to prevent fingerprints and smudges, from being left behind on an electronic touchscreen device surface.
The drawings illustrate the stalls worn on the right hand. What is illustrated for the right hand also applies to the left hand.
Figure 1, is a view showing a stall worn on the thumb and a stall worn on the index finger of the right hand
1.1 The pad of the thumb, towards the tip, is the area of impact with the electronic device surface.
1.2 An ultrasonic weld or stitching follows the nail walls and nail around the tip, away from the palm of the thumb (distal end).
1.3 Two layers of fabric can exist on the Intermediate phalange.
Figure 2, is a modified finger stall to accommodate long fingernails
2.1 A buttonhole type slit at the fingertip to enable long nails to slide through the opening.

Claims (4)

  1. Worn to prevent fingerprints and smudges from being left behind on an electronic touchscreen device surface.
  2. A durable but thin stretch-fabric garment, comprising of a single layer palm, to ensure tactility and dexterity for improved precision.
