Game thumb-protective device that fits over a thumb for protection and comfort while using a video game controller device

Abstract

A hollow cylindrical shaped thumb brace consisting of a back and a palm which are made from flexible materials so that the invention can be repeatedly bent to move with the thumb for flexibility, without fracturing. The thumb brace has a curved diameter at one end and an opening at another end to form a sleeve encasing to allow a thumb to be inserted for thumb support and protection while using video game controller devices.

1 . A thumb brace device for support and protection while using video game controller devices, comprising:
 a. a elongated predetermined back element consisting of a means for thumb support, having at least 6 predetermined holes over the proximal interphalangeal joint area, and   b. a elongated predetermined palm element consisting of a means for thumb protection, and   c. a material to provide a means for firm support of said back element and said palm element   
     whereby said back element is joined with said palm element beginning at the metacarpophalangeal joint along the latitudinal axis of the radial side of said thumb over the tip of the distal phalanx along its curved diameter and along the ulnar side of said thumb ending at the metacarpophalangeal joint to provide a sleeve encasing for said thumb support and said thumb protection
