A grip strengthening device having a finger portion for enhancing the grip by means of at least one artificial tendon arranged along at least one finger portion, wherein the finger portion comprises material along both sides and a tip, and possible along a dorsal side, the at least one artificial tendon is attached along both sides so that the artificial tendon may move, wherein the artificial tendon runs closer to a ventral side than the dorsal side of the finger portion, at least at positions corresponding to joints of a wearer's finger, the finger portion will transfer a force to provide a movement of the finger when the artificial tendon is retracted, wherein the artificial tendon runs in a detour towards or to a position in the middle between the dorsal and ventral side or closer to the dorsal side at a proximal portion of the finger portion.

The finger supporter is disclosed. The finger supporter includes: a first anchor portion 2 that is formed at an upper end 10a of a tubular fabric and causes the tubular fabric to be fastened to a forearm wrist portion of a wearer; a second anchor portion 3 that is formed to continue two points of a circling portion on the other end side of the tubular fabric and forms the circling portion into two opening portions 12a and 12b with different sizes; and a first support portion 4 that couples the second anchor portion 3 and the first anchor portion 2 and supports any one finger inserted into the smaller opening portion 12a from among five fingers.

An apparatus includes a first base portion coupled with a second base portion. The apparatus also includes a first backing member extending from the first base portion and a second backing member extending from the second base portion. A first length of the first base portion is equal to a second length of the second base portion and a first width of the first base portion is equal to a second width of the second base portion. A maximum distance between an outer surface of the first backing member and the first base portion is less than a maximum distance between an outer surface of the second backing member the second base portion such that a first space is less than a second space.

An illustrated view of an exemplary arm blocker for protecting a person that has entered into a self-harming event is presented. The arm blocker is useful for preventing injury to the person during a self-harming event and to diffuse or allow the event to conclude without harm to the person. Furthermore, the arm blocker to be light weight, soft, reusable and easy to use. The arm blocker provides a calming effect and distracts the afflicted person from inflicting harm upon themselves. The arm blocker further provides data for tracking impact events as well as reduces fatigue on any staff that is trying to hold or prevent the self-harming event. The arm blocker may further be used for cooking, classrooms, gardening, animal training, etc.

An archery arm guard includes a guard plate having a generally elongated shape with a wider end and a narrower end. The guard plate has a contoured profile that conforms to the forearm of a user. The arm guard further includes a slap strap fabricated of a bistable spring band and coupled at one end to the guard plate, where the slap strap is operable to quickly snap from a straight configuration to an annular configuration to encircle around the forearm of the user to protect the forearm from direct contact with a bow string.

Body part pad for protecting a double curved body part from external load. The body part pad comprises a flexible carrying dish which in a first bending direction is bendable about a first bending axis and which in a second bending direction is bendable about a second bending axis. The carrying dish comprises a multiplicity of segments of which adjacent segment parts are disposed with an intermediate distance. The intermediate distance of adjacent segment parts is variable upon bending of the carrying dish at least in the second bending direction, so that, in use, a force that is exerted by the body part on the carrying dish and the opposed forces that are exerted on the carrying dish result in curvature of the carrying dish around the first and second bending axis to a curvature corresponding more with the body part to be protected.

The subject matter relates generally to devices configured to be attached to fingers and/or the hands of persons and which may aid in the playing of musical instruments. These devices are custom made to fit the fingers of a particular musician or aspiring musician precisely and optionally include an additional feature or element at the tip which beneficially improves the ability to play. These devices also may protect the fingers from the adverse effects of prolonged playing. These devices may be used independently on each finger, or may be combined together into a glove with the finger devices attached to the rest of a custom fitting glove.
