ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for protecting fingernails are described. A fingernail protector includes: a resilient arcuate section having a proximal open end and a distal open end, the arcuate section 1) defining a first axis, 2) including a recess formed in the resilient arcuate section that defines a hinge axis that is substantially parallel to the first axis, the recess increasing the flexibility of the resilient arcuate section with regard to the first axis and 3) subtending an angle of at least approximately 180.degree.; a flared arcuate section connected to the resilient arcuate section, the flared arcuate section having a first open end that is connected to the distal open end of the resilient arcuate section and a second open end, the flared arcuate section rising obliquely away from the resilient arcuate section; and an elongated arcuate section connected to the flared arcuate section, the elongated arcuate section defining a second axis and having i) a connected open end connected to the second open end of the flared arcuate section, and ii) a free open end. All of the connected open end of the elongated arcuate section is connected to the second open end of the flared arcuate section. The systems and methods provide advantages in that the fingernail protector that maintains tactile sensitivity, provides convection currents and can be used with varying length nails.
