Abstract:
A sweat absorbing finger-gripping device for use on a writing implement, the device comprising:a cylindrically-shaped moisture absorbent sleeve, said moisture absorbent sleeve having an internal hollow portion sized to snugly fit the writing implement; said moisture absorbent sleeve forming a finger contacting surface when said sleeve is used on the writing implement; the moisture absorbent sleeve further having a permeable outer layer forming the finger contacting surface, an inner layer which is formed to snugly fit the writing implement, and a sweat absorbing intermediate layer sandwiched between the outer layer and the inner layer, wherein the permeable outer layer is sufficiently porous to allow for the wicking of sweat from a user's palm and fingers into the intermediate layer, thereby preventing the slipping of the writing implement in the user's palm or fingers, and wherein the inner layer further includes an adhesive coating for preventing the device from sliding on the writing implement when in use.
