Patent ID: 8243050

Claim:
A stylus allowing a user to operate a hand-held device having a capacitive touch screen user-interface responsive to physical contact by human skin, said user having a digit with a central axis, comprising: a. a wrap configured to at least partially encircle said digit and frictionally engage said digit, said wrap having a central axis which is approximately aligned with said central axis of said digit when said wrap is installed on said digit; b. at least one tip connected to said wrap, said at least one tip extending away from said wrap; c. said tip having a proximal extreme proximate to said wrap and a distal extreme distal to said wrap; d. said distal extreme of said tip being sufficiently pliable to form a flat surface covering an area of said capacitive touch screen when pressed against said capacitive touch screen; e. said tip being made of conductive material; and f. a conductor path passing from said tip to said wrap, said conductor path permanently connecting said tip to said wrap.
