ABSTRACT:
A thumb protector for use in carpentry, made of metal or a durable composite material of sufficient strength to protect a human thumb from a hammer blow. A cloth fastening jacket and associated fastening band encircling the second phalanx of the thumb firmly secure the protector to the first phalanx. The portion of the sheath covering the thumbpad has an arcuate groove disposed transversely relative to the thumb enabling the wearer to roll a nail into position between thumb and forefinger from a reservoir located in the palm of the same hand. The grooves pass completely through the material of the protector and so also allow the thumb to breathe. Integrally attached to the sheath is an extrusion which functionally and structurally mimics a human thumbnail.
