Hand Pad
A hand pad comprised of a flat pad provided on its surface a fixation means in a form of a stick containing a flexible wire on the top of the pad, two wings respectively extending from both sides and integrated in one piece with the pad, or a pad in a U shape to support the side of the palm or circle the little finger of the hand holding the pencil to define a segregation between palm and paper to prevent contamination by ink or carton powder and improve writing comfort.
(a) Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention is related to a hand pad, and particularly one that protects the side of the palm of one's hand, i.e., the abductor digiti minimi muscle, from being contaminated by ink or carbon powder of the pencil or pen, and minimizes the direction friction from the paper while writing something.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
A writing instrument is a must particularly for students in taking notes or writing homework. Writing instrument generally available in the market includes pencil, ball pen, fountain pen, and sign pen. Among, pencil is most frequently used by school children.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe primary purpose of the present invention is to provide a hand pad to particularly protect the side of one's palm from being contaminated by the carbon powder or ink while writing something.
To achieve the purpose, a flat pad is provided with on its top a fixation means. The fixation means may be made in a form of a stick containing a flexible wire extending from the top of the pad, a pair of wings extending from both sides of the pad and integrated in one piece with the pad, or a strict pad in U shape to attach to the side of the palm or fixed to the little finger of the writer to define a segregation between the palm and the paper.
