Paper folding device

Abstract

A paper folding device ( 1 ) adapted to be attached to a digit of a hand comprises a rotatable member ( 5 ) attached to the body ( 2 ) of the device via a rotatable attachment means ( 7 ), whereby the rotatable member ( 5 ) rotates in relation to the body ( 2 ). The rotatable member ( 5 ), in use, is rolled along a fold of pulp based material and communicates pressure from the device ( 1 ) to the pulp based material to form a creased line.

1 . A paper folding device adapted to be attached to a digit of a hand, comprising a rotatable member attached to a body of said device via a rotatable attachment element, whereby said rotatable member rotates in relation to said body; wherein said rotatable member, is rolled along a fold of pulp based material and communicates pressure from said device to said pulp based material to form a creased line. 
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a further rotatable member attached to said body via a further rotatable attachment element. 
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 2 , wherein said further rotatable member is adjacently disposed to said rotatable member. 
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said body comprises a first aperture for receiving said digit and a second aperture for ventilating said aperture for said digit. 
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said rotatable attachment element protrudes perpendicularly from a curvature arranged within an outer surface of said body, 
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said rotatable attachment element is formed from a plastics material. 
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 4 , wherein said rotatable member cooperates with an additional aperture disposed within said body. 
     
     
         8 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said body is formed from a flexible material. 
     
     
         9 . The device according to  claim 8 , wherein said flexible membrane is a silicone material. 
     
     
         10 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said body is formed from a rigid material which fits over the end portion of said digit. 
     
     
         11 . The device according to  claim 10 , wherein said rigid material is a plastics and/or metallic material. 
     
     
         12 . The device according to  claim 11 , wherein an outer surface of said device further comprises a substantially flat portion. 
     
     
         13 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said rotatable member is substantially cylindrically shaped. 
     
     
         14 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said rotatable member is substantially spherically shaped. 
     
     
         15 . A The device according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said rotatable attachment element is a spindle that cooperates with an attachment portion of said body. 
     
     
         16 . The device according to  claim 2 , wherein the further rotatable attachment element protrudes perpendicularly from a curvature arranged within an outer surface of said body, whereby said further rotatable attachment element is angled away from the first said rotatable attachment element in accordance with said curvature. 
     
     
         17 . The device according to  claim 2 , wherein the further rotatable member cooperates with a further aperture within said body. 
     
     
         18 . The device according to  claim 2 , wherein said further rotatable member is shaped identically to said rotatable member. 
     
     
         19 . The device according to  claim 2 , wherein the further rotatable attachment element is a spindle that cooperates with an attachment portion of said body.
