DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The invention Mouse Hole Finger Band is to be referred to here on throughout the remainder of this document and/or application simply as the finger band for the purposes of clarity and simplicity only. It is not to denounce or alter the name of the invention in anyway.

[0010] The finger band is used to support and/or stabilize the 4.sup.th and 5.sup.th fingers to help alleviate, lessen and/or and in some cases, prevent the stiffening feeling which commonly occurs with the repetitive and/or redundant movements involved in the use of a computer mouse, electronic and/or touch screen devices. The finger band is a made of a stretchable, flexible, breathable type material such as elastic polymers or other viscoelastic type materials fashioned in a hollow circular form such as the form of a ring and is often constructed from a flat and/or thin strip with the ends attached to form a circle.

[0011] Because it is flexible and stretchable and can be constructed in a variety of sizes, the exact position will depend on the size, length and width of the individual's fingers and the size of the band in use. To position the finger, band the user holds the 4.sup.th and 5.sup.th fingers together and slips the band down to the base of the fingers. When positioned and sized correctly the finger band should not interfere with the flexibility of the knuckles.

[0012] The finger band is not designed to prevent, reverse, alleviate or slow down any medical condition. To care for the finger band hand wash it with soap and warm water then place on a cloth to dry.
