Abstract

There is disclosed a finger apparatus adapted to be carried by a finger for obtaining a more directable and precise handling apparatus by using the finger as the natural handle of an implement. The elastomeric finger apparatus proposed by the present invention is configured to be in a normally pre-pressed form for such precise control operation. The finger apparatus is formed comprising a holder means (1) that includes a cap member (3) and a tubular member (4). An implement (2) is advantageously provided on the holder means (1) through, preferably, a modular snap-fitted pad (8) mounted to a groove (7) on its inclining section (5). A grasping means (13) is also provided for assisting the user during use and for fitting. There is also disclosed a finger apparatus having a cap member (30) with an implement attached on its inclining section (50). The implement may also be integrally molded with the finger apparatus.
