Abstract

The present invention relates to a finger protection device comprised of a shield and a ring member. In the preferred embodiment, the shield is preferably rectangular and slightly convex in shape. The ring member is further fixedly or removably-attached to a rear surface of the shield, such that the ring member can be worn on the finger of a user. In differing embodiments, the ring member may be comprised of a first and second curved member or a continuous, circular body. The ring member may further be made from a flexible, semi-rigid, or rigid plastic or rubber. In this manner, the device can be worn on at least one finger of a user, such that the shield protects the user's finger/hand from being accidently cut by a knife while chopping, cutting or slicing food.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A finger protection device comprising:
 a shield having a front surface and a rear surface; and   a ring member positioned along the rear surface of the shield, wherein the ring member is comprised of a continuous opening therein, and further wherein the continuous opening is sized and configured to receive a finger of a user.   
     
     
         2 . The finger protection device of  claim 1 , wherein the shield is comprised of an opaque material and is convex. 
     
     
         3 . The finger protection device of  claim 1 , wherein the ring member is fixedly attached to the rear surface of the shield. 
     
     
         4 . The finger protection device of  claim 3 , wherein an interior surface of the ring member is textured, and further wherein the ring member comprises a slot. 
     
     
         5 . The finger protection device of  claim 3 , wherein the interior surface of the ring member comprises a plurality of protrusions or a knurling. 
     
     
         6 . The finger protection device of  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of indicia. 
     
     
         7 . A finger protection device comprising:
 a shield that is convex and generally rectangular in shape and that is comprised of a front surface and a rear surface; and   a ring member positioned at a location on the rear surface of the shield so that when the ring member is worn on a finger of a user, a bottom edge of the shield is approximately ⅜ of an inch above a cutting surface.   
     
     
         8 . The finger protection device of  claim 6 , wherein the shield is comprised of a transparent material. 
     
     
         9 . The finger protection device of  claim 6 , wherein the ring member is fixedly attached to the rear surface of the shield, and the shield is convex in shape. 
     
     
         10 . The finger protection device of  claim 9 , wherein the ring member is comprised of a rubber and further comprises a slot. 
     
     
         11 . The finger protection device of  claim 10 , wherein an interior surface of the ring member is textured. 
     
     
         12 . The finger protection device of  claim 10 , wherein an interior surface of the ring member comprises a plurality of protrusions or a knurling. 
     
     
         13 . The finger protection device of  claim 6 , wherein the shield is generally rectangular in shape and comprises a plurality of indicia. 
     
     
         14 . A finger protection device comprising:
 a convex, generally rectangular shield further comprised of a front surface and a rear surface; and   a ring member attached to a rear surface of the convex, generally rectangular shield, wherein the ring member is comprised of a first curved member and a second curved member.   
     
     
         15 . The finger protection device of  claim 14 , wherein the convex, generally rectangular shield is opaque. 
     
     
         16 . The finger protection device of  claim 14 , wherein the ring member further comprises a slot positioned between the first curved member and the second curved member. 
     
     
         17 . The finger protection device of  claim 15 , wherein the ring member is manufactured from a semi-flexible plastic. 
     
     
         18 . The finger protection device of  claim 16 , wherein an interior surface of the ring member is textured. 
     
     
         19 . The finger protection device of  claim 17 , wherein the texture is a plurality of protrusions or a knurling. 
     
     
         20 . The finger protection device of  claim 14  further comprised of a plurality of indicia.
