Fingernail protector

Details

Inventors: Dethman, Margaret L.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Troutman; Doris L.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Horton; Paul F.

A fingernail protector having a finger support flange; a semicircular lower shell, co-extensive with the flange; an upper semicircular cover resting upon the shell, the shell and cover defining a cylinder for encasing the distal finger joint; an exterior hinge connecting the shell and cover which permits convenient access to the fingernail; and a finger support strap having a plurality of flexible hooks on one side and a plurality of flexible loops on the other side.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention comprises a fingernail protector having a finger support flange, a cylindrical encasement opening by means of a hinge, and a finger support strap having a plurality of hooks on one side and a plurality of loops on the other side, said hooks and loops engageable by pressing together thereby permitting exact finger encirclement.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a fingernail protector having a finger support flange resting below the finger joint.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a fingernail protector which fully encases the distal-most joint of the finger and which is openable by means of a hinge.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a fingernail protector which includes a finger strap adjustable to fingers of varying sizes.
More particularly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a fingernail protector having a finger strap having a plurality of hooks on one sie and a plurality of loops on the other side, the hooks adapted to engage the loops to hold the strap in a fixed encircling position.
Other objects will become apparent and a more through and comprehensive understanding may be had from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification.
