Abstract: A flexible stylus tip with a flat contact surface as disclosed herein can address the problems with touch devices and prior art styli. The flexible stylus tip can be formed of resilient material and dimensioned to grip the blunt end of elongated implements such as writing utensils or fingers so as to provide for increased user comfort and control. The stylus tip is hollow and formed of flexible material such as TPV. The tip has an open end with interior gripping rings to keep the stylus tip tightly secured on a pen or other elongated implement. The tip can be slightly graduated or tapered from base to end for optimal viewing of what is being activated on the screen. The contact surface of the stylus tip is flat and larger than other stylus tips to provide an increased activation area and improved ergonomics for touch devices.

Abstract: A screen operator or artificial finger tip for entering commands and data into a personal data device, such as an electronic notebook, by contacting the screen of the personal data device. The screen operator comprises a partially rigid base that encircles the finger, generally conforming to the finger, and a rigid tip member which projects forwardly from the base to contact the screen. The extreme tip of the tip member is of reduced diameter at the point of contact with the screen. The base is tubular (preferably with a gap) and resiliently grips the finger. A hook member extends downwardly and back from the tip member to engage the underside of the user's finger tip. The hook member functions to retain the screen operator on the user's finger tip.
