Abstract
A keyboard input fingertip sleeve device for facilitating keyboard use while protecting a fingernail includes a sleeve having an open end and a closed end. The sleeve defines an interior space having a fingertip portion and a nail portion extending from the fingertip portion. An exterior surface of the sleeve has a peripheral section and an arcuate tip extending from the peripheral section. The arcuate tip is positioned adjacent to the nail portion of the interior space. The exterior surface of the sleeve has a planar section extending from the arcuate tip to the peripheral section positioned in alignment with a fingertip of a finger inserted into the sleeve.
Claims8
A keyboard input fingertip sleeve device comprising:
- a sleeve having an open end and a closed end, said sleeve defining an interior space having a fingertip portion and a nail portion extending from said fingertip portion;
- and
- said sleeve having an exterior surface, said exterior surface having a peripheral section and an arcuate tip extending from said peripheral section, said arcuate tip being positioned adjacent to said nail portion of said interior space, said exterior surface of said sleeve having a planar section extending from said arcuate tip to said peripheral section wherein said planar section is configured to be positioned in alignment with a fingertip of a finger inserted into said interior space with a nail of the finger inserted into said nail portion of said interior space, a transition between said arcuate tip and said planar section being laterally and forwardly spaced from a distal end of said nail portion relative to said open end of said sleeve.
A keyboard input fingertip sleeve device comprising:
- a sleeve having an open end and a closed end, said sleeve being constructed of a resiliently expandable material, said sleeve defining an interior space having a fingertip portion and a nail portion extending from said fingertip portion, said fingertip portion of said interior space having a cylindrical main portion and a rounded end portion;
- and
- said sleeve having an exterior surface, said exterior surface having a peripheral section and an arcuate tip extending from said peripheral section, said arcuate tip being positioned adjacent to said nail portion of said interior space, said exterior surface of said sleeve having a planar section extending from said arcuate tip to said peripheral section wherein said planar section is configured to be positioned in alignment with a fingertip of a finger inserted into said interior space with a nail of the finger inserted into said nail portion of said interior space, said planar section having a proximal end relative to said open end of said sleeve, said proximal end of said planar section being offset from a terminal end of said fingertip portion of said interior space and laterally aligned medially relative to said nail portion of said interior space, a junction between said planar section and each of said arcuate tip and said peripheral section and extending around a full perimeter edge of said planar section being smoothly curved, said fingertip portion of said interior space having an oval cross sectional shape perpendicular to a longitudinal central axis of said sleeve, a transition between said arcuate tip and said planar section being laterally and forwardly spaced from a distal end of said nail portion relative to said open end of said sleeve;
- and
- a lip coupled to said sleeve, said lip extending laterally from said sleeve around said open end.
