ABSTRACT:
A thimble that is characterized by having a resilient frusto-conical shaped resilient liner secured to the interior surface thereof, which liner cooperates with a concentrically disposed resilient pad supported by a pedestal from the end piece of the thimble to define a circumferentially extending space. The thimble is particularly adapted for use by a person having long fingernails. When such a person inserts the fingernail into the thimble, the end portion of the fingernail enters the circumferentially extending space, with the liner resiliently gripping both the fingernail and the exterior portion of the finger adjacent thereto. The end of the finger is in abutting contact with the resilient pad. The liner is formed from a soft coarse resilient material that permits air to the enclosed finger portion and also maintains enclosed finger portion cool and dry. If desired, the longitudinal length of the thimble may be increased by a resilient band that removably grips the bead on the end portion of the thimble opposite the end portion that is closed by the end piece.
