Definitions

  • hand signals may be used to exchange information.
  • catchers at home plate it is common for catchers at home plate to call the game by using hand signals to communicate proposed pitches and plays to the pitcher at the pitching mound.
  • catchers In order to shield these hand signals from the opposing team, catchers typically position their hands between their legs while calling the game.
  • Some catchers have attempted to improve the visibility of their hand signals by wrapping tape around their fingers. Taped fingers, however, can interfere with throwing the ball and other types of ball handling due to the tape being positioned on both the upper and under side of the fingers.
  • Other catchers have attempted to improve the visibility of their hand signals by painting correction fluid (e.g., Wite-Out®, Liquid Paper®, etc.) onto their fingernails. Painted fingernails, however, take time and effort to prepare and clean. Cleaning painted fingernails may require time-consuming scraping or a heavy-duty dissolvent.
  • correction fluid e.g., Wite-Out®, Liquid Paper®, etc.
  • finger accessories such as cosmetic fingernail decals or general purpose stickers may be insufficiently durable to withstand intense athletic activity.

In general, individuals may employ the device for improving hand signals in any situation where hand signals are used to communicate information.
  • the device 100 is designed to cover a portion of a finger of a hand.
  • finger refers to the five digits of a hand including the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky finger.
  • the device 100 includes a pad 102 that is sized and shaped to be positioned only on the fingernail portion of the finger, i.e., the top side of the finger. Because the pad 102 is applied only on the top side of the finger, the pad does not interfere with, e.g., throwing a baseball or other ball handling activities.
  • the pad 102 may be formed of a flexible material so that the pad may conform to the shape of the fingernail when the pad is applied to the fingernail.
  • the pad 102 may also be formed of a moisture-resistant material that repels moisture (e.g., water, sweat, etc.) while the pad is affixed to a fingernail.
  • the pad 102 may be formed of a vinyl material.
  • a suitable vinyl material for the pad 102 may be available from FLEXCon of Spencer, Mass. as product FLEXmark® V 325 F WHITE V-465 8 PT TAG REMOISTURIZE.
  • a vinyl material may also provide durability for the pad 102 allowing the pad to withstand wear and tear caused by rigorous activity.
  • the pad 102 in this example, includes a planar body 104 bounded by four edges 106 , 108 , 110 , and 112 .
  • the planar body 104 of the pad 102 shown by way of example in FIG. 1 is bound by a straight top edge 106 , an arcuate (i.e., bow-shaped) bottom edge 108 , an arcuate left edge 110 , and an arcuate right edge 112 .
  • the shape of the pad 102 of the device 100 shown in FIG. 1 is by way of example only and other shapes for the pad of the device may be selectively employed.
  • the upper surface 114 of the pad 102 is reflective to improve the visibility of hand signals.
  • the reflectivity of the upper surface 114 of the pad 102 thus improves the visibility of hand signals given while the pad is applied to a fingernail relative to hand signals given while the pad is not applied to the fingernail.
  • a reflective material applied to the upper surface 114 of the pad 102 may provide the reflective quality for the upper surface.
  • a layer of paint applied to the upper surface 114 of the pad 102 may provide a shiny reflective finish.
  • Other types of additives may be applied to the upper surface 114 of the pad 102 to provide the reflectivity of the upper surface.
  • Materials that may be applied to the upper surface 114 of the pad 102 to provide reflectivity include, for example, chrome, silver, retroreflective materials, phosphorescent materials (i.e., glow-in-the-dark materials), fluorescent materials, and the like.
  • the color of the upper surface 114 of the pad 102 may also facilitate the improvement of the visibility of hand signals.
  • the color of the upper surface 114 of the pad 102 may provide a visual contrast between the pad and the area surrounding the pad, e.g., the skin pigment of the finger the pad is attached to, shadows surrounding the finger and hand, etc. Examples of colors that may provide the visual contrast between the pad 102 and surrounding area include, for example, brilliant white, fluorescent yellow, fluorescent orange, and fluorescent green. Other examples colors such as pink, blue, and red may also be employed. Additionally, some colors for the upper surface 114 of the pad 102 may be better suited for particular situations and circumstances.
  • Various factors that may be considered when selecting a color for the pad 102 include, for example, the skin tone of the individual wearing the device, whether the device will be worn during the day or at night, whether the device will be used indoors or outdoors, the lighting conditions in which the pad is used, and the amount of shadows surrounding the device during use.
  • FIG. 2 a bottom view of the device 100 of FIG. 1 is shown.
  • An adhesive 116 is applied to the lower surface 118 of the pad 102 for releasably affixing the pad to a fingernail.
