Tactical finger band
View Patent ↗A tactical finger band is described and taught having a band body which has one segment or is longitudinally dividable into multiple segments. The band body is openable due to the use of one or more socket-protrusion assembly as connecting mechanisms. In addition, the tactical finger band may also include a band cover or other accessories. The tactical finger band disclosed here is particularly suitable for people engaging in industrial work, medical careers, sports activities, military missions, and law enforcement and fire-fighting operations. With a sufficient pulling force applied to the band body, the finger band may be opened due to the disengagement of the socket-protrusion assembly, preventing injury to the wearer. Moreover, the band body and/or the band cover may bear patterns, colors, logos, and words appropriate for the occasion in which the band is used and the person wearing the band.
1. A tactical finger band to surround a finger, comprising
an encircling band body having an inner side and an outer side, the band body being longitudinally dividable into a first segment and a second segment, wherein
the first segment has a first segment first end and a first segment second end,
the second segment has a second segment first end and a second segment second end,
the first segment first end is connected by a first socket-protrusion assembly to the second segment first end,
the first segment second end is connected by a second socket-protrusion assembly to the second segment second end,
the band body is capable of encircling the finger,
such that the inner side faces the finger and the outer side face away from the finger;
a plurality of beads attached to the inner side of the band body,
wherein the beads prevent slipping between the finger and the band body when the band body is worn on the finger; and
a circular band cover shielding the outer side of the band body having two band cover inner folds connected to a band cover exterior portion,
wherein there is a band cover opening flanked by the band cover inner folds,
wherein the band body is capable of being inserted into the circular band cover through the band cover opening, and
wherein the circular band cover completely envelops the outer side of the band body, and the band cover inner folds embrace the inner side of the band body.
2. The tactical finger band of claim 1 , wherein the first socket-protrusion assembly comprises
a protruding element connected to the first segment first end,
the protruding element having a protrusion neck and an enlarged head;
and a socket in the second segment first end,
the socket having an enlarged void and a narrow passage,
the enlarged void and the narrow passage being surrounded by two clamping elements, wherein
the protruding element is capable of being inserted into the socket,
the enlarged head fits the enlarged void, the protrusion neck fits the narrow passage,
the insertion of the protruding element into the socket securely attaches the first segment first end to the second segment first end.
3. The tactical finger band of claim 2 , wherein
the first socket-protrusion assembly and the second socket-protrusion assembly have the same structure.
4. The tactical finger band of claim 3 , wherein
the clamping elements are capable of being deformed so that the protruding element is capable of being released from the socket with a sufficient pulling force on the first segment or the second segment.
5. The tactical finger band of claim 1 , wherein the circular band cover comprises a non-reflective material.
6. The tactical finger band of claim 1 , wherein
the circular band cover comprises elastic materials.
7. A tactical finger band to surround a finger, comprising
an encircling band body having an inner side, and an outer side, the band body being longitudinally dividable into a first segment and a second segment, wherein
the first segment has a first segment first end and a first segment second end,
the second segment has a second segment first end and a second segment second end,
the first segment first end is connected by a first socket-protrusion assembly to the second segment first end,
the first segment second end is connected by a second socket-protrusion assembly to the second segment second end,
the band body is capable of encircling the finger
such that the inner side faces the finger and the outer side faces away from the finger,
the socket-protrusion assemblies are capable of being disengaged with a sufficient pulling force on the first segment or the second segment,
a plurality of beads attached to the inner side of the band body,
wherein the beads prevent slipping between the finger and the band body when
the band body is worn on the finger,
a circular band cover shielding the outer side of the band body,
the circular band cover comprising
a band cover exterior portion,
two band cover inner folds connected to the band cover exterior portion, wherein there is a band cover opening flanked by the band cover inner folds, wherein
the band body is capable of being inserted into the circular band cover through the band cover opening,
the circular band cover completely envelops the outer side of the band body,
the band cover exterior portion shields the outer side of the band body,
the band cover inner folds embrace the inner side of the band body,
securing the band body in a band cover chamber,
