ABSTRACT:
A fingernail protector comprises a fingernail shield, an attachment device or fastener for temporarily securing the protector to a user's finger, and a connector or coupling portion for pivotably connecting the shield to the fastener so that the shield is disposed distally of the fastener in a use position of the shield and so that the shield is swingable about an axis oriented substantially transversely to the user's finger. The connector includes a toggle hinge which enables the shield to be pivotably connected to the attachment device or fastener so that the shield is swingable between a first stable toggle position and a second stable toggle position. The fingernail protector is an integral piece formed by injection molding.
