Two-piece finger weight device II

Abstract

A two piece finger weight device including a weight member and a strap for connecting the weight member to a finger. The strap is supported in one opening of the weight. After being disposed about a finger and over an arcuate surface defined by the weight member between two flanges, it is secured to the weight member by interfitting openings in the strap with outwardingly extending projections provided on the arcuate surface. The strap is further retained in position by a hinged member secured to one flange member, which hinged member is extended over the strap on the arcuate surface and secured to a projection located on the other flange.

1 . A finger weight device comprising a member having at least one weight receiving portion, a strap for securing the weight to a finger, the weight member defining means for supporting one end of the strap relative thereto, the member having a recess defined by flanges in which the strap is positioned, the strap and recess defining cooperating projections and openings for securing the strap to the member when the device is to be connected to a finger, extending outwardly from one of said flanges is a hinge member defining an opening and from the other flange is a connection which opening and connection are constructed and arranged to interfit to secure the hinge member to the other flange to retain the strap in the recess to prevent the strap from dislodging during use of the weight device.  
   
   
       2 . A finger weight device as set forth in  claim 1  in which the recess is arcuately shaped.  
   
   
       3 . A finger weight device as set forth in  claim 2  in which the projections are located on opposite sides of the hinge member.  
   
   
       4 . A finger weight device as set forth in  claim 3  in which the projections are bulb-shaped.  
   
   
       5 . A finger weight device as set forth in  claim 1  in which the weight member means for supporting one end of the strap relative thereto includes a strap opening on both sides thereof and the weight member defines areas adjacent said opening for supporting the strap relative to the weight member, said strap includes a main portion that extends through said opening.  
   
   
       6 . A finger weight device as set forth in  claim 1  which the side opposite the recess is arcuately shaped to generally conform to a finger.  
   
   
       7 . A finger weight as set forth in  claim 6  in which there are provided outwardly extending projections from said arcuate surface to help prevent the weight device from moving relative to the finger when in engagement therewith.  
   
   
       8 . A finger weight device as set forth in  claim 7  in which the arcuate surface includes end portions that do not contact said finger insuring that there is circulation through said finger.  
   
   
       9 . A finger weight device as set forth in  claim 1  in which the outer surface of said weight member is generally triangular in configuration and defines openings for receiving weights therein.  
   
   
       10 . A finger weight device as set forth in  claim 9  in which the openings extend longitudinally and generally parallel to the finger on which it is to be located.  
   
   
       11 . A finger weight as set forth in  claim 10  in which the openings are closed at one end to prevent the weights from leaving the weight member when the finger weight device is suddenly moved in the direction of the closed end.  
   
   
       12 . A finger weight device as set forth in  claim 11  in which there are three longitudinally extending openings for receiving weights.
