Patent number: 9259062Abstract: A tactical finger band is described and taught having a band body which has one segment or is longitudinally dividable into multiple segments. The band body is openable due to the use of one or more socket-protrusion assembly as connecting mechanisms. In addition, the tactical finger band may also include a band cover or other accessories. The tactical finger band disclosed here is particularly suitable for people engaging in industrial work, medical careers, sports activities, military missions, and law enforcement and fire-fighting operations. With a sufficient pulling force applied to the band body, the finger band may be opened due to the disengagement of the socket-protrusion assembly, preventing injury to the wearer. Moreover, the band body and/or the band cover may bear patterns, colors, logos, and words appropriate for the occasion in which the band is used and the person wearing the band.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Inventor: Jesus Martinez

Publication number: 20140190208Abstract: A device for shielding a ring has a tube of flexible material, the tube has two opposite ends, each end has a round opening that communicates through the interior of the tube, each end has a sleeve, and at least one elastic strip within each sleeve. The tube has a size compatible with the range of diameters of an adult female finger. The tube has a length proportional to the diameter of the openings. The elastic strips urge the round openings to remain small. Meanwhile the sleeve disperses the compressive load of the elastic strips more evenly upon a user's finger, improving comfort. The device can be symmetric.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2013Publication date: July 10, 2014Inventor: ROGER B. PERKINS
