Fingertip musical tap assembly

A fingertip musical tap assembly for producing a clicking sound when the user's fingers are tapped on hard surfaces. The fingertip musical tap assembly includes straps being adapted to be fastenable about fingertips of a user; and also includes fastening members being attached at ends of the straps for fastening the straps about the user's fingertips; and further includes clicking sound-making support members being supported upon the straps; and also includes clicking sound-making members being attached to the clicking sound-making support members for producing a clicking sound upon being tapped upon a hard surface.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to fingertip musical taps and more particularly pertains to a new fingertip musical tap assembly for producing a clicking sound when the user's fingers are tapped on hard surfaces.

2. Description of the Prior Art

While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new fingertip musical tap assembly. The prior art includes inventions having fingertip protectors or sheathes adapted to fit about one's fingertips.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new fingertip musical tap assembly which has many of the advantages of the fingertip musical taps mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new fingertip musical tap assembly which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art fingertip musical taps, either alone or in any combination thereof. The present invention includes straps being adapted to be fastenable about fingertips of a user; and also includes fastening members being attached at ends of the straps for fastening the straps about the user's fingertips; and further includes clicking sound-making support members being supported upon the straps; and also includes clicking sound-making members being attached to the clicking sound-making support members for producing a clicking sound upon being tapped upon a hard surface. None of the prior art describes the combination of the elements of the present invention.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the fingertip musical tap assembly in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There arc additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a new fingertip musical tap assembly which has many of the advantages of the fingertip musical taps mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new fingertip musical tap assembly which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art fingertip musical taps, either alone or in any combination thereof.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new fingertip musical tap assembly for producing a clicking sound when the user's fingers are tapped on hard surfaces.

Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new fingertip musical tap assembly that is easy and convenient to put on and use.

Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a new fingertip musical tap assembly that relieves stress for the user and can be easily put on and taken off.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 3 thereof, a new fingertip musical tap assembly embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 3 , the fingertip musical tap assembly 10 generally comprises straps 11 being adapted to be fastenable about fingertips 17 of a user. Fastening members 12 are conventionally attached at ends of the straps 11 for fastening the straps 11 about the user's fingertips 17 . The fastening members 12 are strips of hook and loop fasteners being attached at and near ends of the straps 11 . Clicking sound-making support members 13 are conventionally supported upon the straps 11 . The clicking sound-making support members 13 are flexible loop members.

Clicking sound-making members 14 are conventionally attached to the clicking sound-making support members 13 for producing a clicking sound upon being tapped upon a hard surface. The clicking sound-making members 14 are small metallic plates with pairs of the flexible loop members 13 having ends which are securely and conventionally attached along edges 15 , 16 of a respective small metallic plate 14 . Each of the straps 11 is removably disposed through a respective pair of the loop members 13 . Each of the small metallic plates 14 is a quadrilateral and has a thickness of approximately inch and has a width generally equivalent to a width of a user's finger 18 and thumb 19 depending upon which of a finger 18 and thumb 19 the small metallic plates 14 are desired.

In use, the users straps the fingertip musical tap assembly 10 about the fingertips 17 of one's fingers 18 and thumbs 19 with the metallic plates 14 being positioned upon the user's fingertips 17 so that the user can tap the metallic plates 14 upon a hard surface to make the clicking sounds.
