Publication number: 20040010217Abstract: An apparatus for presenting an area of desired frictional interface on a portion of a user's appendage (e.g., hand or fingers) includes a flexible layer of material having first and opposite sides, with the first side having a frictional engagement surface. The apparatus further includes a flexible backing sheet having first and second opposite faces. A pressure sensitive adhesive is disposed on the second face of the backing sheet. The backing sheet has a central section and opposed tab portions, with the second side of the layer of material affixed to the first face of the backing sheet, in at least a portion of the central section thereof. The tab portions are sufficiently long, in dimension extending away from the central section, so that when the second face of the backing sheet is adhered to a user's appendage, the tab portions extend at least half way around the appendage. The frictional engagement surface has a static coefficient of friction of at least 1.1.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2002Publication date: January 15, 2004Inventors: Russell E. Blette, E.
