Benefits of technology

This patent describes a welding finger cot that is designed to protect a user's finger during welding. The finger cot has a finger receiving portion and a tail portion that can be adjusted to fit different needs. The finger cot is made of a sleeve that is folded onto itself multiple times to create the finger receiving portion and the adjustable tail portion. This design allows for easy customization and flexibility when using the welding finger cot.

Problems solved by technology

Often times, these gloves are marketed and presented as being heat resistant, however the same is not entirely true.
In other instances, the proximity of the user's gloved hand to a hot welding arc or hot welding surface can be dangerous.
Unfortunately, the gloves used for these types of welding operations cannot withstand this type of prolonged exposure to such heat, and often burn through the gloves, or otherwise cause too much discomfort to the user that a proper stable weld operation cannot be performed.

Abstract

The welding finger cot is formed from a single sleeve of a fire retardant material. The sleeve is of a predetermined length and diameter. By folding and inverting the ends of the sleeve in a specific manner, a finger receiving portion and an adjustable tail portion are formed. The user inserts a gloved finger into the finger receiving portion, and then pulls on the adjustable tail portion so as to adjust the same to a desired length. The finger cot with extended adjustable tail portion allows the user to rest or stabilize their hand on a hot surface during a welding operation.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62 / 250,772 filed on Nov. 4, 2015.BACKGROUND[0002]Technical Field[0003]The present principles relate to welding. More particularly, it relates to a finger cot for using during welding.[0004]Related Art[0005]Those of skill in the welding trade will appreciate that the steadiness of their hands (and tools) during the welding operation is paramount to providing top quality welds and welding services. Due to the high heat environment associated with welding, the use of gloves during welding operations is very common.[0006]Often times, these gloves are marketed and presented as being heat resistant, however the same is not entirely true. Depending on the particular welding operation, it is common for the user to rest one hand on a stationary, often times, very hot workpiece in order to secure the steadiness required for the particular weld. In other instances, the proxi...
