Hand-worn article with an anti-slip surface

摘要

Provided is a finger sleeve for enhancing a grip on objects to be held by a hand. The finger sleeve includes a band of a flexible material forming a cylindrical passage through which a finger of the hand is to extend. A strap is coupled to the band, and is adjustable between an open state in which the finger sleeve is to be placed onto the finger and a closed state in which the strap interferes with removal of the finger sleeve from the finger. An anti-slip surface is provided to a palm-side of the band, and includes a grip enhancing material that improves a grip on the objects to be held in the hand while wearing the finger sleeve relative to the grip on the objects to be held in the hand without the finger sleeve.

1. A finger sleeve for enhancing a grip on objects to be held by a hand, the finger sleeve comprising:
a band of a flexible material formed to define a cylindrical passage through which a finger of the hand is to extend, wherein the band forms a first aperture at a proximate end and a second aperture at a distal end, and comprises a length to permit a distal tip of the finger to extend through the second aperture; a strap coupled to the band, wherein the strap is adjustable between an open state in which the finger sleeve is to be placed onto the finger and a closed state in which the strap interferes with removal of the finger sleeve from the finger; an anti-slip surface provided to a palm-side of the band, the anti-slip surface comprising a grip enhancing material that improves a grip on the objects to be held in the hand wearing the finger sleeve relative to a grip on the objects to be held in the hand without the finger sleeve; and an extension of the anti-slip surface that protrudes beyond the distal end of the band to be disposed adjacent to the distal tip of the finger that is not also encompassed by the band.
