Embodiment Construction

[0020]Referring now to the drawings, a finger extension 10 on a finger 12 is shown. The finger extension 10 has a pawl 14 that is used to push down an upper material 16 on a lower material 18. While the upper and lower materials 16, 18 are pushed toward a sewing head 20. The finger extension 10 keeps the fingertip 22 of the user at a safe distance away from the sewing head and behind a tip 24 of the pawl 18. Accordingly, as the materials 16, 18 are pushed toward the sewing head 20, the finger 12 of the person remains a safe distance away from the sewing head 20 to prevent injury to the finger 12.

[0021]The finger extension 10 has a body portion 26. This body portion 26 is sufficiently wide 28 and sufficiently long 30 to provide support to the underside surface of the person's finger 12. By way of example and not limitation, the body portion may have a width of about 1 / 2″to 5 / 8″. Additionally, the length of the body portion 26 may be about 1.5 inches. The body portion 26 is preferably...

Abstract

A finger extension is disclosed for assisting a person in holding down material with a finger of the person. The finger extension may comprise a body portion and a pawl. The body extension has side flanges that extend laterally around the finger of the person. The side flanges are malleable so that a person may bend the side flanges against the person's finger so that the finger extension may be retained on the person's finger during use. The pawl extends out from the body portion. A distal tip of the pawl is used to hold down the material and allows the person to keep his or her finger away from a work head (e.g. sewing head) at a safe distance.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 61 / 642,381, filed on May 3, 2012, the entire content of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference.STATEMENT RE: FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH / DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not ApplicableBACKGROUND[0003]The various embodiments disclosed herein relate to a finger extension worn by a person so that the person can hold down a work piece while keeping the person's finger a safe distance away from the work piece and / or a mechanical operation.[0004]A sewing machine is often used to secure two pieces of material together. To do so, the user must lay the two pieces of material one on top of the other while pressing the two pieces down together as he or she moves the two pieces of material closer to a sewing head. The sewing head has a needle and a guide which holds the two pieces of material down upon a work surface near the needle. However, the user must still hold th...
