ABSTRACT:
A finger guard for protection against injury by a knife when cutting foodstuff. The finger guard extends along the back-hand face of an operator finger, and is bendable concurrently with the latter. The finger guard consists of a multiplicity of spaced-apart, interconnected lamellae, with a given upper lamella having a lower portion overlying the upper portion of the corresponding lower lamella; wherein should the blade of a knife hit the finger guard, that blade would subsequently slide downwardly successively from upper to lower lamellae in a frictionless fashion without injury to the finger. Two elongated flexible metal stems extends on each side of and pivotally interconnects with the lamellae. The stems can bend to follow the motion of the finger. An adjustable retaining strap surrounds the front hand face of the finger at an intermediate portion of the finger guard and a basket member, attached to the stems, receives the finger tip.
