ABSTRACT:
A finger and thumb protector providing two sheaths for fingers and one sheath for the thumb of a user working with solvents. The sheaths are connected by a tether. The protector is formed from a thin, flexible, elastic material impervious to solvents, such as polyvinyl chloride. Two sheaths for fingers are disposed parallel, abutting, and open in similar directions. The sheath for the thumb is angled with respect to the sheaths for fingers, thereby assuming positions natural for a closed grasp of a small object. Each sheath is generally cylindrical, domed at the closed end, and extends to the first knuckle of its respective finger or thumb. The tether is U-shaped, with the U-shaped channel open in a direction similar to those of the finger and thumb sheaths. The protector may be fabricated by dipping a mold into liquid, uncured resin and peeling the protector from the mold after curing of the material.
