Patent ID: 10717314

Abstract:
A tactual finger grip device and method provides increased tactual and visual sensory awareness of finger pressure and alignment especially for the left-handed user. The grip device provides a conically shaped sleeve of resilient material for inserting and adjustably securing a hand-held implement, such as a writing implement. A plurality of raised surface projections circumferentially positioned about the grip device outer surface provide tactual friction with a user's fingers, enabling user tactile sensory awareness, causing the user to adaptably minimize the tactual friction by conforming fingers and hand to natural placement, when the user grasps the sleeve secured to the hand-held implement. The device provides visual indicia for the forefinger, index finger, and thumb placement forming a natural hand position. Alternatively, the raised surface projections positioned about the inner surface create tactual friction or pressure between the device and a wearer's received finger when pressure is applied to a surface.
