ABSTRACT:
A finger guard for protecting a finger being used as a guide along the edge of work pieces such as acoustical tile and sheets of plywood and dry wall is provided. The finger guard is worn on the non-working hand and covers the area of the finger being drawn flush against the work piece. The finger guard is an egg shaped protective fabric having an elastic band attached thereto to fit the fabric over the area of the finger requiring protection. The wider area of the egg shaped fabric provides a large area of protection near the base of the finger while the tapering end of the fabric ensures that the dexterity of the finger tip is not compromised by the interference of fabric. The outer edge of the fabric is reinforced with stitching that also serves to attach the elastic band to the protective fabric. The elastic band is attached near the middle of the fabric so that, when the finger guard is worn, the elastic band also does not hinder the dexterity of the finger tip.
