A pad is affixed to the sleeve or incorporated into the sleeve, and includes a tacky outer surface configured to capture and lift a paper for movement thereof.
Claims7
A device worn on the finger of a user, operative to move leaves of material, comprising:
- a first surface including a first elastomeric material operative to push a leaf by frictionally engaging the leaf with said elastomeric material;
- a second surface including a second sticky material, different from said first elastomeric material, operative to engage a leaf with substantially more force than said first elastomeric material, and further operative to lift as well as push a leaf by bonding to said leaf with said second sticky material;
- wherein a user may change a position of the device on the finger to choose between pushing a leaf with said first surface, or pushing or lifting a leaf with said second surface.
A device worn on the finger of a user, operative to aid the user to move a sheet, such as paper, currency, or book pages, from a first position to a second position, comprising:
- a sleeve including a first elastomeric material operative to push a sheet by frictionally engaging the sheet with said elastomeric material;
- a surface disposed upon a portion of said sleeve, said surface including a second sticky material operative to engage a sheet with substantially more friction than said first elastomeric material, and further operative to lift a sheet by bonding to said sheet with said second sticky material;
- wherein a user may position the device on the finger to push a sheet with said first surface, or either push or lift a sheet with said second surface.
A device worn on the finger of a user, operative to aid the user to move a sheet, such as paper, currency, or book pages, from a first position to a second position, comprising:
- a sleeve including a first elastomeric material operative to push a sheet by frictionally engaging the sheet with said elastomeric material;
- a surface disposed upon a portion of said sleeve, said surface including a second sticky plastic material, different from said first elastomeric material, rendered sticky by having a high plasticizer content, operative to engage a sheet with substantially more friction than said first elastomeric material, and further operative to lift a sheet by bonding to said sheet with said second sticky plastic material;
- wherein a user may position the device on the finger to push a sheet with said first surface, or either push or lift a sheet with said second surface.
A device worn on the finger of a user, operative to aid the user to move a sheet, such as paper, currency, or book pages, from a first position to a second position, comprising:
- a sleeve including a first elastomeric material operative to push a sheet by frictionally engaging the sheet with said elastomeric material;
- a surface disposed upon a portion of said sleeve, said surface including a second sticky plastic material, different from said first elastomeric material, rendered sticky by having a tacky additive, operative to engage a sheet with substantially more friction than said first elastomeric material, and further operative to lift a sheet by bonding to said sheet with said second sticky plastic material;
- wherein a user may position the device on the finger to push a sheet with said first surface, or either push or lift a sheet with said second surface.
