Problems solved by technology

During recreational activities such as playing a string instrument, a beginner may experience difficulty with finger control.
The beginner string musician may experience frustration and cease future play during the early stages of instrument learning upon repetitive and unwanted string strumming by an incorrectly aligned finger.
The tape tears after persistent activity and the athlete may not replace because of inconvenience.
Hand and wrist wrap, multi-loop finger band, shock absorber element and finger exerciser device are known to the art, but no

Abstract

An elastomeric wrap for restricting two fingers during flexion and extension. The wrap covers the proximal phalanx and interphalangeal (PIP) knuckle and part of the middle phalanx of both fingers. Instructional text and directional graphics is silk screened onto the wrap. Fastening is constructed of two opposing strips of hook-and-loop fabric. Buttonhole and straight stitching techniques is used to secure and finish fabric. To form the wrap: First, face the palm upward, second, insert the ring or middle (plus index for right hand) finger into the anchor loop section, third, wrap the elongated section over then under the adjacent left finger, fourth, join one of the two affixed opposing hook-and-loop fabric strips on the elongated section with the other hook-and-loop fabric strip on the anchor loop section to fasten. The wrap is constructed of a strip of elastomeric fabric.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a finger wrap, and more particularly to an elastomeric finger wrap which covers the proximal phalanx and interphalangeal (PIP) knuckle and part of the middle phalanx of solely two fingers during flexion and extension.BACKGROUND ART[0002]During recreational activities such as playing a string instrument, a beginner may experience difficulty with finger control. Basketball athletes may also sprain fingers during activities and resort to buddy-taping fingers with cloth tape during the healing process.[0003]The current method of controlling unwanted finger flexion and extension, for a beginner string musician, is unaided repetitive play combined with manual and mental dexterity. Basketball athletes use tape. The beginner string musician may experience frustration and cease future play during the early stages of instrument learning upon repetitive and unwanted string strumming by an incorrectly aligned finger. The tape tears after pers...
