  • Patent number: 7884797
    Abstract: A connector featuring a conductive cap and conductive peg to be attached to any digit covering apparatus, such as a glove. The connector comprises a cap and peg made of a conductive material. The peg is placed on a user's digit and the at least one post mechanism is extended through the digit covering. The cap and peg are engaged by at least one post mechanism extending from the peg. The at least one post mechanism is received by at least one aperture on the cap. The connector also features a post mechanism on a back side of the connector. The post mechanism has a pin, pin head and pin holder that attaches the connector to the glove. Users do not have to remove their digit covering apparatus to interact with a touch screen device. The conductive connector affords the user the ability to input onto a touch-screen without removal of their digit covering apparatus, such as a glove.
