Distal phalangergonic finger device
Abstract
A finger weight that is functional. A normal sized, weighted
sphere is attached to an end of a cylinder-shaped body. The
weighted sphere and body has a hard particulate material to provide
a resistance transfer through the body. A flattened surface and
groove are provided in both the implement and the assistive
implement. The flattened surface of the implement of the body half
distant from the sphere is cinctured in the groove by an adhesive
resinous strip to the non-palmar surface of the distal finger
digit. The flattened surface along the entire length of the
assistive implement is cinctured in the groove by an adhesive
resinous strip to the proximal interphalangeal joint. The operation
of the finger weight is extending and flexing the distal finger
digit while restricting the extending and flexing of the proximal
interphalangeal joint.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0021] The present invention relates to a finger device and, more
particularly, to a finger device that enables moving the distal
digit in extension with minimal, concurrent movement of flexion or
extension in the proximal interphalangeal joint.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0022] There is no device that isolates and patterns the relatively
pure extension of the distal interphalangeal finger joint of the
second, third, fourth, fifth and (sixth) fingers. Ever since finger
movement implements were invented, there has been a need to
exercise upper extremity anatomical musculoskeletal structures to
enable diverse gripping actions. A gentler, more specific
methodology was desired from the earliest days of civilization.
[0023] There are devices that extend the distal finger joint of the
second, third, fourth, fifth and (sixth) fingers in tandem with the
concurrent movement of the proximal interphalangeal finger joint of
the second, third and fourth fingers. Initially, the finger
movement implements were designed to provide resistance in the
flexion and extension of both the proximal and distal
interphalangeal joints concurrently. An example of a different type
of mechanism was by means of large, gross oscillatory movements for
the proximal and distal parts of the upper extremity.
[0024] Prior art finger movement implements are, including the
aforementioned mechanism of large, oscillatory movements for the
proximal and distal parts of the upper extremity, limited in
isolating specific movement of a single finger digit. There is a
tendency to replicate easier positioning grip movements already
patterned in flexion gripping that often result in earlier fatigue
and with a loss of contribution both as a reserve and providing
another element in gripping using a few small muscles. Patterning
difficult movements such as the isolated extension of the distal
phalangeal digit of the finger can provide a reserve niche that
contributes to improving the quality of the activities of daily
living that include grip actions as regarding the possibility of
longevity or stamina. This movement can be patterned with
neurological re-education involving the relaying of a nerve
stimulus traversing from the movement of the distal digits of the
fingers to the brain.
[0025] Many finger therapy devices commonly supply users with
resistance through various closed materials. Such devices provide a
nominal and a defined cyclic path of resistance to the entire
fingers.
[0026] The `BOING` (Body Oscillation Integrating Neuromuscular
Gain), sold by Body Orthopedics, is a type of device for the upper
extremity anatomical structure. A number of disadvantages
heretofore known suffer from a number of disadvantages:
[0027] a. The BOING device is a flexible cylinder with a handle
distance between a small spherical projection at the end and
another one for the hand to grab.
[0028] b. The said device cannot be attached to the distal finger
joint.
[0029] c. The said device cannot only permit primarily the
extension or flexion movements of the distal finger joint.
[0030] d. The said device cannot provide the inclusion of
components to minimize inflammation of the finger joints.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0031] In accordance with the present invention, there is provided
a finger weight movement implement that is gentle, specific and
diverse. A solid cylinder and sphere is made of a solid particulate
matter. The implement is operated by the extension of the distal
digit while the proximal interphalangeal joint is relatively
restricted in motion.
[0032] The preferred embodiment comprises finger implement
dimensions of the mounting part to the distal phalangeal digit and
to the assistive implement that relatively restricts any movement
of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the fingers. This
implement and assistive implements, that is a software code, may be
manufactured with a 3D machine.
[0033] An alternative embodiment may involve production of the said
implement and assistive implements by a CNC (Computerized Numerical
Control) machine using a laser and a compatible plastic faster with
perfection and less wasted, hard material of a particulate
matter.
[0034] The next alternate embodiment is outlined with how to
manually mold and cast the implement and assistive implements.
[0035] It would be advantageous to provide an assistive implement
to minimize the flexion and extension movement in the proximal
interphalangeal finger joint, while the distal finger digit of the
second, third, fourth, fifth or (sixth) finger is actively
extending and flexing. The relatively isolated extension motion of
the distal digit is a difficult movement. It is not a normal,
easily intended movement such as gripping. The said advantage
describing the movement intended can add a small, yet significant
contribution to precision and normal gripping. More contributing
muscles in gripping can help incur less fatigue and more precise
finger positioning and confidence in using the fingers in the tasks
of the daily activities of living.
[0036] It would also be advantageous to provide a nominal
resistance while the distal finger joint of the second, third,
fourth, fifth and (sixth) finger is actively extending.
[0037] It would further be advantageous to provide a patterning
protocol that enables the proprioceptive system of the lumbrical
muscles in the second, third, fourth, fifth or (sixth) finger, with
the meissner's and pacinian proprioceptors in the skin, to initiate
a signal that traverses from the fingers, through the spinal cord
tracts, cerebellum of the brainstem, and the somatosensory and
somatomotor regions of the brain, and returns to the fingers
initiating the movement. This patterning protocol is different from
conditioning that includes strengthening. Enabling a difficult
movement, but which can be patterned with this said proprioceptive
system, could further complement the normal cadre of diverse
holding times or of intermittent, short duration, associated with
gripping applications.
[0038] Accordingly, several advantages of the aspects follow:
[0039] According to Kapandji--
[0040] a. Numerous proprioceptors in the lumbrical muscles in the
fingers gather essential information for the coordination of the
extensors and flexors.
[0041] b. Extension of the distal digit of the fingers is a very
difficult movement.
[0042] According to Kennedy, Provost and Rocha, the hook fastener
strip does as follows--
[0043] a. Secures an attachment of both the implement to the distal
digit and the assistive implement to the proximal interphalangeal
finger joint.
[0044] b. The said strip permits a diverse, attached, positional
orientation of the said implement device on the finger.
[0045] According to Lee, the infratonic device can be used to
dissolve energy blockages as follows--
[0046] a. The device emits chaotic frequency parameters that do not
enable the body to accommodate and respond with less
efficiency.
[0047] b. Placement of the said device on the functional and the
drainage points at specific anatomical landmarks may disrupt and
raise the stagnant vibrational patterns in the body that may be
associated with pain and chronic inflammation.
[0048] According to MacDonald, diverse movement parameters--
[0049] a. Slow movement fires many muscle fibers.
[0050] b. Holds in more advanced training expands fascial membranes
around muscles to allow increased muscle size and strength.
[0051] According to Mosby's Medical Dictionary, an engram is an
interneuronal circuit involving specific neuron and muscle fibers
that can be coordinated to perform specific motor activity patters.
Many repetitions may be needed to establish an engram. According
to
[0052] Tibbets, engrams are created as a memory trace occurring in
the body commensurate with space coordinates of the postural
system. The implement device would operate in a postural
orientation aligned with the activities of daily living related to
the utilization and contribution of the extension and flexion
movements of the distal phalangeal digit of the finger to
supporting gross and precision gripping.
[0053] According to Schauss--
[0054] a. The freeze-dried form of the pulp and the skin of the
Acai berry retained the highest level of antioxidants able to
scavenge free radicals in vitro, compared to any other food
preservation method.
[0055] b. Foods that are the strongest antioxidant will have the
highest ORAC values.
[0056] c. Acai has the highest TOTAL ORAC value of any food tested,
and also exerts the highest superoxide (SOD) scavenger activity of
any food reported in the scientific literature.
[0057] on.
[0058] According to Tamanaha and Plezbert, favorable influences may
result from tasks under one's control--
[0059] a. Functional stabilization occurs after sequential
conditioning.
[0060] b. Positive mental inputs to brain's limbic system activate
favorable responses.
[0061] c. Consume higher calorie food in theearlier part of the day
until the mid-afternoon because of the increased metabolic
rate.
[0062] Materials needed for the alternate embodiment--
[0063] Wood slab, 838.2 MM (33 inches) length, 101.6 MM by 101.6 MM
(4 inch) square, non-chemicalized; actually smaller cross section

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0101] A 3D printing machine may provide the preferred embodiment
when the implement and assistive implements is the software
code.
[0102] Computer Numerical Control (CNC) may provide an alternative
embodiment manufacturing process for this implement and assistive
implement 110. An element input of three-dimensional specifics in
curves, surfaces and solids, may create a faster production process
with more precise dimensions and material consistency, which may
use only the required amount of raw material of a solid particulate
matter (minimizing waste). The details in this preferred embodiment
section provides input support for the said 3D and CNC process for
manufacturers that produce sold, three-dimensional cylinders of a
hard, particulate matter.
[0103] FIG. 1 is a side view of an operation in accordance with the
invention.
[0104] The distal phalangeal finger digit implement cylinder part
100 and the implement sphere part 102 comprise the implement. The
assistive implement 110 shown is of three lengths, such as 76.2 MM
(11/2 inches), 31.8 MM (11/4 inches) and 25.4 MM (1 inch),
respectively. The aforementioned implement and assistive implements
can be made of a hard, particulate material. The said implement
cylinder and assistive implements have included an outside diameter
of 15.9 MM (5/8 inch). The said implement sphere that is rigidly
connected to the implement cylinder part 100 has an outside
diameter of 76.2 MM (11/2 inches). This said flat surface 106 is on
the bottom of the said implement cylinder part 100 and on the top
part of the said assistive implement 110. The said flat surface 106
is one third, or 3.3 MM (1/8 inch), of the cylinder's
cross-sectional volume. The flat surface 106 is one half, or 38.1
MM (11/2 inches) of the distal length 76.2 MM (3 inches) opposite
the implement sphere. On the opposite surface, the grooves have a
width of 14.3 MM ( 9/16 inch) with a depth of 1.7 MM ( 1/16 inch).
The groove 108 for the said implement cylinder starts' at 6.4 MM
(1/4 inch) from the distal end opposite the said implement sphere
part 102. The said assistive implement 110, of lengths, 38.1 MM
(11/2 inches), 32.8 MM (11/4 inches) and 25.4 MM (1 inch) have
included the near and far distances from the left denoting the
central locations of the groove 108, 11.9 MM ( 15/32 inches) and
26.2 MM (1 1/32 inches), 7.1 MM ( 9/32 inches) and 21.4 MM ( 27/32
inches), and 5.6 MM ( 7/32 inches) and 19.8 MM ( 25/32 inches),
respectively.
[0105] The resinous adhesive strip cinctures, in close, adjacent
proximity, the flat surface 106 of the said implement part onto the
non-palmar side of the distal finger digit. With another resinous
adhesive strip, the flat surface 106 of the said assistive
implement 110 cinctures, in close, adjacent proximity, onto the
palmar side of the proximal interphalangeal finger joint.
[0106] The operation involves oscillatory movements that extend and
flex the distal finger digit. Diverse parameters to be applied,
include temporary sustainment, for stretching the fascial membrane
around the lumbrical muscles, slow movement for firing optimal
numbers of muscle fibers and reverse extension, for patterning the
difficult movement of extending; primarily, the distal finger digit
while minimizing any flexion or extension movement of the proximal
interphalangeal joint of the same finger. And the movement is
optimally beneficial when the operation is executed perpendicularly
in the intended orientation plane of patterning.

fats), along with carbohydrates (remaining percent) commensurate
with lower quality food consumption. Sequentially consume protein,
fat, then carbohydrates; priority sequence within each of the
aforementioned nutritional elements is liquid, fresh produce,
homemade, then processed food. Consume an adequate amount of water
daily, When preferably higher quality foods with a low caloric
density are liberally consumed, and with occasional cleanses of the
bowel, liver, kidney and parasites, optimal slower digestion with
concomitant blood sugar stabilization and inflammation reduction
may be influenced.
[0123] EXPERIENCE 204. The other circle experience 204 includes
Olympic Weightlifting, playing the harp, and Western and Chinese
principles of health.
[0124] APPLICATIONS 206, Besides aforementioned elements,
infratonic frequency activation of stagnant body vibrations and
operational parameters may influence somatic (horizontal, vertical
and diverse orientaton of implement utilization for engram)
patterning. Precede any session with shaking the fingers and
stretching the forearm, palmar and finger muscles into flextion and
extension. Slow movement controls the activation of an optimal
number of muscle fibers. Temporary sustainment possibly increases
the size of the fascial covering, possibly allowing an increase in
the size and strength of the lumbrical finger muscles Successful
self-leadership, positive re-framing, based on deeper purpose of
motivation is beneficial in a stronger continuance of a positive
existence despite apparently challenging circumstances.
[0125] FIG. 13 is a side view of the initiating anatomical
structure for the operation of the implement shown in FIG. 1.
[0126] The lumbrical muscle 216 denotes this anatomical structure
that starts a nerve stimulus that traverses through the structures
shown in FIG. 14, FIG. 15, and FIG. 16.
[0127] FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view of the skin receptors. The
meissner's corpuscle 212 is located in the dermis 210, beneath the
superficial skin layer, the epidermis 208. This corpuscle is a
sensor of light touch structured as encapsulated nerve endings on
the palms of the hands. The large, covered pacinian corpuscle 214
is a receptor, located deep in the skin and near the joints and
muscles, which responds to vibration and pressure changes.
[0128] FIG. 15 is a side perspective view of the anatomical region
involved in traversing the nerve stimulus up from the spinal cord
shown in FIG. 16.
[0129] The nerve stimulus traverses from the spinal cord up through
the cerebellum 218 in the brainstem into the somatosensory and the
somatomotor region 222 of the brain. The nerve stimulus returns as
a message to the spinal cord to initiate movement of the fingers.
The extension of the distal finger digit, solely, is considered to
be a difficult movement, as such, is addressed by the assistive
implement 110 to minimize extension movement by the proximal
interphalangeal finger joint.
[0130] FIG. 16 is a cutaway, transverse view of the intermediate
anatomical route. The nerve stimulus traverses towards and returns
from the brain. The sensory afferent tracts transmit the nerve
stimulus from the fingers, up from the spinal cord through the
structures shown in FIG. 15. The sensory efferent tracts transmit
the nerve stimulus down from the brain through the structures shown
in FIG. 15 through the spinal cord, to the fingers.
Alternate Embodiment
[0131] FIG. 17 is a top view of the marked implement cylinder part
100. Mark a wood dowel of 15.9 MM (5/8 inch) diameter, in excess of
76.2 MM (3 inch) length; measure the approximate depth of, and
whether accommodation is possible for a wood dowel of 15.9 MM (5/8
inch) diameter. Add this (approximate depth) to the 76.2 MM (3
inch) length of this said cylinder. Cut this length on a vertically
oriented jigsaw machine; ensure that approximately 50.8 MM (2
inches) of the jigsaw blade shows, to minimize stress on it when it
is used to make cuts.
[0132] Cylinder Marking of the Cross End
[0133] Secure the said dowel level with, and left cross section end
is positioned slightly away from, the clamps. Initially, on the

clamps; this is the cross section starting point wood insert 300.
Use a small level, vertically, to center the bubble and to mark the
other bottom cross section edge, 15.9 MM (5/8 inches) away from the
said cross section starting point wood insert 300; designated as
the cross section edge bisecting point wood insert 302. Draw a line
from the said cross section starting point wood insert 300 to the
cross section edge bisecting point wood insert 302 forming the
cross section bisecting line wood insert 304. At one sixth the
distance, 1.7 MM (slightly less than 1/8 inches), from the top of
the said cross section bisecting line wood insert 304, mark a large
dot denoting the cross section groove point wood insert 308. At one
third the distance 3.3 MM (slightly less than 1/4 inches), from the
bottom of the cross section bisecting line wood insert 304, place
another large dot denoting the cross section flattening point wood
insert 306. Near the top of the dowel, draw the cross section
perpendicular groove line wood insert 312 perpendicularly across
the said cross section groove 108 point. Near the bottom of the
dowel, draw the cross section perpendicular flattening line 310
wood insert perpendicularly across the said cross section
flattening point wood insert 306. If necessary, loosen the clamps
and reposition the said dowel so that its top is level throughout
its length and the right cross section end is slightly exposed from
the vertical part of the clamps. Resecure the said dowel between
the clamps.
[0134] Place a mark at the center between the clamps, on the
cylinder surface, as the said cross section starting point wood
insert 300 of the right cross section end. Complete marking the
right cross section end as per the aforementioned directions for
the left cross section end.
[0135] Loosen the said dowel between the clamps, reposition,
elevate the position of the said dowel so that the said cross
section starting point wood insert 300 at both the left and right
cross section ends, are visible beside the bisecting line. Tighten
the clamps.
[0136] Cylinder Marking of the Longitudinal Groove 108 Lines
[0137] Draw the longitudinal groove 108 cylinder line a implement
cylinder wood insert and the groove 108 cylinder groove 108 line b
implement cylinder wood insert, off of the cross section
perpendicular groove line wood insert 312 on the left and right
cross section edges. Also, draw the longitudinal bisecting line off
of the bisecting line off of each of the left and right cross
section ends.
[0138] IMPLEMENT CYLINDER MARKING OF THE GROOVE At a distance of
6.4 MM (1/4 inch) from the left end, place a short mark, a cylinder
near partial circumferential arc groove 318 between the said
cylinder groove 108 line a implement cylinder wood insert and the
said cylinder groove 108 line b implement cylinder wood insert. To
the right at a distance of 14.3 MM ( 9/16 inches), place a short
mark, a cylinder distant partial circumferential arc groove 320
between the same said longitudinal lines. Also, place a short mark
at the same aforementioned distances through the longitudinal
bisecting line. Draw lines through the marks from one said
longitudinal groove 108 line, through the bisecting line, to the
other longitudinal groove 108 line, and place an x mark between the
said near and far distant area lines; this mark represents the
groove 108. Loosen the clamps. Bring the cylinder to a vertical
jigsaw machine.
[0139] Cylinder Groove 108 Shaping
[0140] Orient the longitudinal dimension of the dowel aligned
across the vertical jigsaw blade, showing a groove 108 area marked
with an x. Carefully cut both these groove 108 borders at a slight
angle, in miniscule amounts to the visible depth of a longitudinal
groove 108 line. Rotate the dowel and cut the opposite sides of the
same border, not to exceed the longitudinal groove 108 line. Rotate
the dowel to expose the middle, uncut part of the borders.
Carefully cut this middle part. Loosen the clamps.

[0142] Implement Cylinder Marking of the Longitudinal Flattening
Lines
[0143] Position the said implement cylinder above the level of the
clamps so that the pair of cross section perpendicular flattening
line 310 wood insert, off of the left and right cross section ends,
are visible. Tighten the clamps.
[0144] Draw a line from the left to the right edges, off of each of
the said cross section perpendicular flattening line 310 wood
insert, forming the longitudinal flattening lines. From the left,
at a distance of 38.1 MM (11/2 inches) draw a hemi partial
circumferential arc line from the edge of the implement cylinder
wood insert, connecting each of the said flattening lines. Place a
3.times. cylinder 330 mark in the left half of the cylinder between
the cross section edge and the said hemi partial circumferential
arc line. This completes the marking of the implement cylinder wood
insert. Loosen the clamps. Remove the cylinder and bring it to a
vertically oriented jigsaw machine.
[0145] Implement Cylinder Flattening Line Shaping
[0146] Orient the longitudinal dimension of the dowel aligned
across the vertical jigsaw blade. Position the cylinder with the
hemi partial circumferential arc near its midst, showing the
3.times. mark to the left. Ensure only an approximately 50.8 MM (2
inches) of its blade shows. Then turn on the jigsaw machine and
carefully cut, in this 3.times. marked area, through this line in
miniscule amounts to the visible depth of a longitudinal flattening
line. Rotate the dowel and cut the opposite side not to exceed the
longitudinal flattening line. Rotate the dowel to expose the
middle, uncut part. Carefully cut this middle part being careful
not to exceed the pair of longitudinal flattening lines.
[0147] Next, insert the unshaped, full cylinder end into the
cylindrical excavation of the wood sphere to ensure there remains a
cylindrical length of 76.2 MM (3 inches). Remove the cylinder,
apply a small amount of wood glue and reinsert the cylinder. Set
this said, completely shaped, implement wood insert aside while the
glue dries.
[0148] FIG. 19 is a bottom view of the marked assistive implement
110 cylinder.
[0149] Follow the directions with FIG. 17 regarding the marking of
the cross ends and the longitudinal groove 108 lines on a wood
dowel of 101.6 MM (4 inches) length with an outside diameter of
15.9 MM (5/8 inch).
[0150] From the left, place small marks at the inside of the said
groove 108 lines and the top, across the bisecting lines of the
said assistive implement 110 cylinder segments, at distances 38.1
MM (11/2 inches), 69.9 MM (23/4 inches) and 95.3 MM (33/4 inches).
Draw the three said assistive implement 110 cylinder segments
through the marks drawn. Now, within each of the segments, place
two marks, left and right designating the central grooves, across
the marks between each longitudinal groove 108 lines, through the
longitudinal bisecting line, and between the groove 108 lines,
namely, the nearest partial circumferential arc in segment line
assistive implement 344 and the distant partial circumferential arc
in segment as follows:
[0151] Longest assistive implement 110 segment: 11.7 MM ( 15/32
inches) and 35.8 MM (1 1/32 inches)
[0152] Intermediate assistive implement 110 segment: 46.1 MM (1
27/32 inches) and 74.2 MM (2 13/32 inches)
[0153] Shortest assistive implement 110 segment: 74.2 MM (2 31/32
inches) and 88.3 MM (3 17/32 inches)
[0154] Place the x assistive implement 336 mark in the groove 108
in each of the three assistive implement 110 segments. This
completes the marking of the grooves of the assistive
implements.
[0155] Loosen the clamps. Remove and bring the cylinder to the
vertical jigsaw machine (with no more blade length than 50.8 MM, or
2 inches separating the base and above).
[0156] Orient the dowel across in front of the vertical jigsaw
blade. Align the dowel with the longitudinal groove 108 lines at
the aforementioned, said groove 108 areas in each segment with x
marks; begin with the longest assistive implement 110 segment. Turn
on the machine and make careful cuts in all three pairs of groove
108 borders not to exceed the longitudinal groove 108 lines. After
the circumferential groove 108 arcs are cut, bring the cylinder to
the horizontal clamps, position the dowel until all the grooves are
oriented sideways and are visible above the clamps. Tighten the
clamps. Using a narrow chisel, excavate the uncut middle of the
groove 108 not exceeding the longitudinal groove 108 lines. Repeat
this task with the grooves of the other segments. Loosen the
clamps.
[0157] Assistive Implement 110 Marking Longitudinal Flattening
Lines and Shaping
[0158] Position this said assistive implement 110 cylinder above
the level of the clamps so that the pair of cross section
perpendicular flattening line 310 wood insert, off of the left and
right cross section ends, are visible. Tighten the clamps. Draw a
line from the left to the right edges, off of each of the said
cross section perpendicular flattening line 310 wood insert,
forming the longitudinal flattening lines. Loosen the clamps.
Remove the cylinder and bring it to a vertically oriented jigsaw
machine.
[0159] Position the said assistive implement 110 cylinder, aligned
with the vertical jigsaw blade. Turn on the jigsaw machine and
carefully cut through the area marked with an 3.times., in
miniscule amounts, until the cut is made on the longitudinal
flattening lines in its entirety. Next, rotate the dowel across the
vertical blades and make cuts through each of the three segments.
This completes the shaping of the assistive implement 110 wood
insert. This completes the marking of the three assistive implement
110 cylinder wood inserts.
[0160] FIG. 20 shows the cavities in the clay mold tablet 364 and
shaping trays enabling the molding and the subsequent casting of
the implement and the assistive implements shaped of a particulate
matter, such as solid plastic. The cavity designs include a
conjoined rectangular and square prisms for the implement wood
insert and the rectangular prisms for the three, said assistive
implements. Each cavity has included measurements allowing a 6.4 MM
(1/4 inch) allowance beyond the external dimensions of the
implement and assistive implement 110 wood inserts. After planing
the wood slab for straightness, cut, from the wood slab, 838.5 MM
(33 inches) length by 9.5 MM (33/8 inches) square cross-section,
perpendicularly, into lengths of 406.5 MM (16 inches), 203.3 MM (8
inches) and 228.7 (9 inches) pieces, respectively. For each of the
cavities, directions for the placement of short, cross marks on the
edges of the top and front face surfaces, and from the marks, also,
for vertical and horizontal lines of designated lengths will be
drawn on the top and front face surfaces.
[0161] Position the wood slab so that the top surface 348 is
visible and sufficiently above the clamps. Tighten the clamps. From
the left to the right, place short, cross marks at the following
distances for the implement cylinder and sphere cavities:
[0162] Implement cylinder part 100 cavity is from the marked 31.8
MM (11/4 inches) distance to the marked 108 MM (41/4inches)
distance, with the end of the implement sphere part 102 at the
marked 158.8 MM (61/4 inches) distance.
[0163] Related to the aforementioned cavities, place a pair of
points, 11.1 MM ( 7/16 inches) and 39.7 MM (1 9/16 inches),
perpendicularly located from the 31.8 MM (11/4 inches) distance.
Draw a line at the reference distance, perpendicularly between the
aforementioned points; closes the marking for the left side of the
implement cylinder cavity.
[0164] From the 108 MM (41/4 inches) distance, draw a line
perpendicularly to the 11.1 MM ( 7/16 inches) point. Draw another
line from the 39.7 MM (1 9/16 inch) vertice, that has included a
length of 11.1 MM ( 7/16 inches); this closes the marking for the
left side of the implement sphere cavity.
[0165] From the 158.8 MM (61/4 inch) cross mark, draw a line 50.8
MM (2 inches) long, perpendicularly across the top surface 348.
Draw the rear, horizontal line connecting, and closing the rear of
the cavity.
[0166] Place the x marks on the top surface 348 in the enclosed,
marked areas of the implement cylinder cavity and the implement
sphere cavity.
[0167] To the right, place short cross marks at the following
distances for the assistive implement 110 cavities: 190.6 MM (71/2
inches), 219.2 MM (85/8 inches), 251 MM (97/8 inches), 279.6 MM (11
inches), 311.4 MM (121/4 inches) and 340 MM (137/8 inches); also,
place a last mark at 371.8 MM (145/8 inches) to designate the end
of the said wood slab.
[0168] From the pair of 190.6 MM (71/2 inch) and 219.2 MM (85/8
inch) marks, draw similar lines 50.8 MM (2 inches) long,
perpendicularly across the top surface 348. Draw a line between the
end vertices of the pair of lines previously drawn, that closes the
rear of this cavity.
[0169] From the pair of 251 MM (97/8 inch) and 279.6 (11 inch)
marks, draw similar lines 44.5 MM (13/4 inches) long,
perpendicularly across the top surface 348. Draw a line that closes
the horizontal rear of this cavity.
[0170] From the pair of 311.4 MM (121/4 inch) and 340 MM (137/8
inch) marks, draw similar lines 38.1 MM (11/2 inches) long,
perpendicularly across the top surface 348. Draw a line that closes
the horizontal rear of this cavity.
[0171] Place x marks on the top surfaces in all of the said, three
assistive implement 110 cavities.
[0172] Loosen the clamps. Reposition the said wood slab so that the
front face surface 350 is visible on top, and sufficiently above
the clamps. Tighten the clamps.
[0173] From the 108 MM (41/4 inch) and 158.8 MM (61/4 inch) marks,
draw lines, that has an included length of 50.8 MM (2 inches),
descending the front face surface 350. Close the ends of the
aforementioned pair of descending lines.
[0174] Draw lines from each mark for the assistive implement 110
cavities, that has an included length of 28.6 MM (11/8 inches),
descending the front face surface 350. Draw parallel lines to close
the descending lines of the three, aforementioned pairs of distance
measurements.
[0175] Place x marks on the front face surfaces in the enclosed
areas of the front face surface 350 for the aforementioned
assistive implement 110 cavities. This completes the marking of the
assistive implement 110 cavities. Loosen the clamps. Bring the clay
mold tablet 364 tray to the mortise machine.
[0176] Mortise Excavation of Tray Cavities
[0177] Use a mortise machine, such as the Powermatic Model 701.
This said machine has a handle that is operated like a drill press
that excavates chiseled, square holes at controlled depths into a
wood slab that is secured with a clamp configuration. Prior to
using the said machine, secure and make excavations of a controlled
depth with a spare slab of wood. When the lowering of the handle
demonstrates consistency commensurate with excavating controlled
depths, it is ready to be used for excavating the cavities. To
begin, lower the handle until the chiseling apparatus nearly
contacts the area to be excavated, then turn on the machine. Start
with the front face surface 350, while descending the handle, to
serially excavate from side to side, proceeding to the rear until
each cavity is made; stop machine between each single excavation.
Reposition the wood slab for the next excavation, lower the
chiseling apparatus to continue the subsequent, accurate
excavations. Secure the wood. Periodically, remove the wood from
the machine and remove any excess accumulation of sawdust in the
cavities and in the troughs under the secured wood on the
machine.
[0178] The CAVITIES in the clay mold tablet 364 tray after the
mortise excavation, includes the following dimensions and
volumes:
[0179] Implement cylinder: 50.8 MM (2 inches) depth, 76.2 MM (3
inches) length, 28.6 MM (11/8 inches) width, and 110.7 mL (6.8
cubic inches) volume.
[0180] Implement sphere: 50.8 MM (2 inches) depth, 50.8 MM (2
inches) length, 50.8 MM (2 inches) width, and 131.1 mL (8 cubic
inches) volume.
[0181] Assistive implement 110: 25.4 MM (1 inch) depth, 50.8 MM (2
inches) length, 28.6 MM (11/8 inches) width, and 36.9 mL (2.3 cubic
inches) volume.
[0182] Assistive implement 110: 25.4 MM (1 inch) depth, 44.5 MM
(13/4 inches) length, 28.6 MM (11/8 inches) width, and 32.3 mL (2
cubic inches) volume.

(11/2 inches) length, 28.6 MM (11/8 inches) width, and 27.7 mL (1.7
cubic inches) volume.
[0184] FIG. 21.
[0185] Preparing the Front Face Cover
[0186] Use a vertical jigsaw cutting machine to make a cut of a
clear material of a hard particulate matter, such as a Lexan
polycarbonate. After this material, having a length of 273.1 MM
(103/4 inches) and a width of 69.9 MM (23/4 inches), is cut, it
will become the front face cover of the clay mold tablet 364 tray.
Position the recently cut, said polycarbonate front surface cover
to the left 12.7 MM (1/2 inch) of the implement sphere cavity and
align its top with the top of the front face surface 350 of the
wood. Secure the horizontal clamps. Drill the pairs of holes, such
as by a high speed drill, at a distance of 6.4 MM (1/4 inch) to the
sides and below the cavities opening at the front face as marked

[0191] FIG. 22 is a front face view of the shaping tray for the
implement wood insert.
[0192] After the cured part 1 mold 366 is removed from the clay
mold tablet 364 tray shown in FIG. 20, measure its dimensions. Then
plan, mark and excavate the shaper tray as shown in FIG. 22, that
has an included length of 203.3 MM (8 inches). Follow the
directions with FIG. 20 to plan, mark and excavate the shaper tray
as shown in FIG. 22. Subsequently, test the fit of the part 1 mold
366 by inserting them into the cavity. The part 1 mold 366 should
not show any visible wrinkles on the top surface 348.
[0193] After the part 1 mold 366 with the wood inserts in it fits
in the shaper tray, prepare and attach the front face cover as per
the directions in FIG. 21 keeping the locations of the holes from
the implement sphere cavity, aligning those holes on the cover.
[0194] FIG. 23 is a front view of the cover for the openings shown
in FIG. 22.
[0195] Prepare this front face cover for the implement shaper tray.
Position and securely clamp the said polycarbonate cover aligned
over the shaper implement tray cavity. Drill the holes, keeping the
locations of the holes, aligned with the cover, from the implement
sphere cavity; centralizing the sides and the bottom cavity
dimensions.
[0196] FIG. 24 is a front view of the assistive implement 110
shaper tray.
[0197] After the cured part 1 mold 366 is removed from the clay
mold tablet 364 tray shown in FIG. 20, measure its dimensions.
Then, follow the directions with FIG. 20 to plan, mark and excavate
the shaper tray as shown in FIG. 24, that has an included length of
228.7 MM (9 inches). Follow the directions with FIG. 20 to plan,
mark and excavate the shaper tray.
[0198] Prepare the front face cover as compared with the assistive
implement 110 cavities within the clay mold tablet 364 tray shown
in FIG. 20, executed for FIG. 25. Cut the measured length from 12.7
MM (1/2 inch) to the left and to the right of the measured width of
the cavity.
[0199] After the part 1 mold 366 with the wood inserts in it fits
in the shaper tray, prepare and attach the front face cover as per
the directions in FIG. 21 keeping the locations of the holes from
the assistive implement 110 cavities, aligning these holes on the
cover.
[0200] FIG. 25 is a front face view of the front face cover for the
assistive implement 110 shaping tray shown in FIG. 24.
[0201] Proceed to measure the dimensions of the part 1 molds. Then,
plan, mark and excavate the cavities. Subsequently, test the fit of
the part 1 molds by inserting them into the cavities just
completed. The part 1 mold 366 should not include any visible
wrinkles on the top surface 348.
[0202] After the part 1 mold 366 with the wood inserts in it fits
in the shaper tray, prepare the front face cover as per directions
for FIG. 23. Subsequently, attach the front face covers as per the
directions in FIG. 21.
[0203] FIG. 26
[0204] Shaping the implement and assistive implements into a
material of a hard particulate matter is alternatively accomplished
by a two-part mold. This two-part mold allows reuse with a
relatively easy separation of its mold from the casted,
aforementioned parts.
[0205] To enable the optimal placement of the implement cylinder
and sphere wood inserts with varying dimensions requires different
levels of the clay mold tablet 364 heights. The minimal layer
height is 6.4 MM (1/4 inch) height, the pre-clay mold layer at the
greater height, enables placement of different wood insert parts at
different clay mold heights. In particular, both the implement
cylinder is horizontally parallel on the higher pre-mold layer
along with the implement sphere resting concomitantly on the
shallower minimal layer. When, the cylinder-sphere wood insert is
centrally placed on the different clay tablet heights, placement of
the clay mold pieces can allow the build up to the full height of
the clay mold tablet 364 and fill the void between the wood inserts
and the said clay mold tablet 364, better assuring a more complete
shaping without air pockets in the cast.
[0206] This figure represents the progressive depiction of molding
and casting in the trays shown in FIG. 20, FIG. 22 and FIG. 24
after the front face covers are attached in FIG. 21, FIG. 23 and
FIG. 25.
[0207] Remove 120 mL, or about 8 cubic inches, of clay mold and
warm it in an oven at approximately 66.5 degrees Celsius (150
degrees Fahrenheit) for approximately 15 minutes. Let stand for
five minutes until the clay mold is not excessively hot to the
palmar side of the distal finger digit. While the clay mold is
being warmed and softened, place short, horizontal lines at
locations descending from the top of the cavities, with
preliminary, build-up clay mold tablet 364 layers, below:
[0208] Implement cylinder cavity: 33.3 MM (1 5/16 inches) pre-clay
mold tablet 364 layer, and 20.6 MM ( 13/16 inches) clay mold tablet
364 layer.
[0209] Implement sphere cavity: 44.4 MM (13/4 inches) minimal clay
mold tablet 364 layer, 33.3 MM (1 5/16 inches) pre-clay mold tablet
364 layer, and 20.6 MM ( 13/16 inch) clay mold tablet 364
layer.
[0210] When the clay mold is somewhat soft and warm, take small
amounts of the clay mold and place the said clay mold on the floors
of the cavities until the minimal clay mold layer in the implement
sphere cavity and the ascendant, built-up, pre-clay mold tablet 364
layer in the implement cylinder cavity are achieved. Now place the
implement sphere centrally on the minimal layer and then the
implement cylinder centrally on the pre-clay mold layer so that the
cylinder is horizontally parallel with its groove 108 oriented
upwards. Then, while stabilizing the implement cylinder and sphere,
start adding the clay mold to build up the clay mold tablet
364.
[0211] Place the assistive implement 110 wood inserts centrally
with its groove 108 oriented upwards, on the minimal layer. Then,
while stabilizing each of the assistive implement 110, start adding
bits of the clay mold to build up the clay mold tablet 364 until
they are level with the bottom of the groove 108. Use tools that
can push the clay mold densely packing and leveling it.
[0212] See the directions in FIG. 21 for preparing the front face
cover for this clay mold tablet 364 tray.
[0213] The PRE-CLAY MOLD TABLET 364 includes the following
dimensions and volumes for a preliminary, shallower, build-up level
layer:
[0214] Implement cylinder: 17.5 MM ( 11/16 inch) depth, 76.2 MM (3
inches) length, 28.6 MM (11/8 inches) width, and 38.1 mL (2.3 cubic
inches) volume.
[0215] Implement sphere: net 25.4 MM (1 inch) depth, 50.8 MM (2
inches) length, 50.8 MM (2 inches) width, and 43.9 mL (2.7 cubic
inches) volume.
[0216] The pre-clay mold tablet 364 layer in the implement cylinder
part 100 cavity with the minimal clay mold tablet 364 layer allows
a precise, static parallel orientation of the cylinder attached to
the sphere.
[0217] The CLAY MOLD TABLET 364 includes the following dimensions
and volumes:
[0218] Implement cylinder: 19.8 MM ( 25/32 inch) depth, 76.2 MM (3
inches) length, 28.6 MM (11/8 inches) width, and 43.2 mL (2.6 cubic
inches) volume.
[0219] Implement sphere: 25.4 MM (1 inch) depth, 50.8 MM (2 inches)
length, 50.8 MM (2 inches) width, and 42.5 mL (2.7 cubic inches)
volume.
[0220] Mix the 125 mL of the said part A and 125 mL of the said
part B molding liquids separately; will comprise 250 mL
(approximately 15 cubic inches). Use a sturdy mixing item, such as
wood, to stir each viscous liquid part to soften any hardened part,
contributing to homogeneity. Pour Part B initially into a glass
measuring cup of sufficient volume. Then pour Part A into the same
measuring cup. Mix both parts using another sturdy mixing item,
such as wood. Then pour the mixture into the implement and
assistive implement 110 cavities. Let this part 1 mold 366 cure
overnight.
[0221] After the said part 1 mold 366 has cured, gently insert a
spatula between the clay mold tablet 364 and the part 1 clay mold,
the sides of the walls and the clay mold, the front face cover, and
the front surface surface of the mold. Next, remove the screws
from, and then remove, the front face cover. Gently insert the said
spatula between and push from side to side, and subsequently
ascending slightly, finally reaching the rear walls of each cavity.
Finally, reinsert the said spatula and another spatula to use
concurrently on the side, to gently remove the molds from the clay
mold tablet 364.
[0222] After the said part 1 mold 366 has been removed, measure its
dimensions and execute the directions with FIG. 22.
[0223] Then prepare this mold for pouring the subsequent part 2
mold 368. Place and press the small amounts of clay mold between
the top of the part 1 mold 366, side walls of the cavity and the
internal front face cover, to cover the seams. Apply the said
petroleum jelly as was executed for the pouring of the clay mold
part 1.
[0224] Mix and pour the same amount of molding liquids into the
implement cavity of the shaper tray. Subsequently do the same with
the assistive implement 110 shaper tray shown in FIG. 22. Allow the
liquid to cure overnight.
[0225] After this part 2 liquid mold has cured, make a perforation
in the top central area using a sharp, rounded and angled
sculpturing tools. Then remove the front face cover, the cured mold
along with the implement wood insert from it. Also perforate and
remove the same items in FIG. 27.
[0226] Casting
[0227] Attach the front face covers through the holes that align
the cover with the cavity openings. Apply petroleum jelly to the
walls of the cavity, the part 1 mold 366 layer and the top of the
wood inserts, and the corners between the part 1 mold 366 and the
front face cover. Loosen the covers of the casting liquid
containers before starting the mixing procedure; the casting liquid
begins to harden in 45 seconds.
[0228] Thoroughly mix 62.5 mL of the said part A casting liquid and
62.5 mL of the said part B casting liquid, separately; will
comprise 125 mL (approximately 7.5 cubic inches). First pour the
said part B liquid into a glass measuring cup with a spout that has
a shallow, wide and circular shape; this shape appears to be
conducive a slow and constant flow that allows a controlled exit of
liquid accompanied with minimal splashing. Then pour the said part
A liquid into the said glass measuring cup. Mix the liquid parts,
then slowly pour the casting liquid mixture through the top at the
part 2 mold 368 excavation site at the implement sphere-near
cylinder interface, while tilting the shaping tray for the
implement shaping; the liquid must flow into the vacant
longitudinal mold halves to completely shape the cylinder part of
the implement. Stop pouring when there is a constant backflow
exiting from the excavation. Then, while slowly lowering the
shaping tray keep on slowly pouring the mixture until a small,
steady flow of liquid exits, indicating that the sphere void in the
mold is filled. Let the casting liquid cure for an hour.
[0229] After the casting liquid has cured use a thin spatula, to
promote loosening the mold from the sides of the cavity. Unscrew,
then remove the front face covers from the implement shaper tray.
Again, use the spatula between, to gently separate, the horizontal
mold halves. Carefully separate the molds from the left to the
right then rearward. Now, with a couple of your fingers, lift the
part 2 mold 368 on top, continuing from the sphere to the cylinder
until the entire casted implement is visible. Then gently insert
the spatula under, and between the part 1 mold 366 and the casted
implement and loosen the entire casted implement somewhat. Reinsert
the spatula and with a prying tool (that can open to an outside
diameter of 38.1 MM, or 11/2 inches), together, gently, but firmly,
separate the casted implement sphere and cylinder parts away from
the part 1 mold 366.
[0230] Follow the directions with FIGURE for the attachment of the
said implement and, after the attachment of the said assistive
implement 110, proceed to the operation of the implement with the
assistive implement 110.
[0231] FIG. 27
[0232] While the clay mold is being warmed and softened, place
short, horizontal lines at locations descending from the top of the
cavities, with a preliminary, minimal build-up, to the clay mold
tablet 364, layers below:
[0233] clay mold tablet 364 layer: 44.4 MM (13/4 inches)
[0234] minimal layer: 11.1 MM ( 7/16 inches)
[0235] When the clay mold is warmed and softened, take it in small
amounts and place them on the floors of the cavities until the
minimal clay mold layer in each cavity is formed. Densely pack the
clay mold and level it. Then place each of the assistive implement
110 wood insert centrally on the minimal layer with the floor of
the groove 108. The groove 108 is horizontally parallel and is
oriented upwards. Then while stabilizing the said assistive
implement 110 wood insert, build up the clay mold tablet 364 layer.
Repeat the same steps for the remaining two assistive implement 110
wood inserts. Then with dull, flattening sculpturing tools, densely
pack the clay mold and level it.
[0236] Prepare the front face cover as shown in FIG. 25 executing
the directions in FIG. 21. After the front face cover is
attached.
[0237] The PRE-CLAY MOLD TABLET 364 includes the following
dimensions and volumes for a preliminary buildup level layer:
[0238] Assistive implement 110: 6.4 MM (1/4 inch) depth, 50.8 MM (2
inches) length, 28.6 MM (11/8 inches) width, and 9.3 mL (0.6 cubic
inches) volume.
[0239] Assistive implement 110: 6.4 MM (1/4 inch) depth, 44.5 MM
(13/4 inches) length, 28.6 MM (11/8 inches) width, and 8.1 mL (0.5
cubic inches) volume.
[0240] Assistive implement 110: 6.4 MM (1/4 inch) depth, 38.1 MM
(11/2 inches) length, 28.6 MM (11/8 inches) width, and 7 mL (0.4
cubic inches) volume.
[0241] The CLAY MOLD TABLET 364 includes the following dimensions
and volumes:
[0242] Assistive implement 110: 14.3 MM ( 9/16 inch) depth, 50.8 MM
(2 inches) length, 28.6 MM (11/8 inches) width, and 20.8 mL 1.3
cubic inches) volume.
[0243] Assistive implement 110: 14.3 MM ( 9/16 inch) depth, 44.5 MM
(13/4 inches) length, 28.6 MM (11/8 inches) width, and 18.2 mL (1.1
cubic inches) volume.
[0244] Assistive implement 110: 14.3 MM ( 9/16 inch) depth, 38.1 MM
(11/2 inches) length, 28.6 MM (11/8 inches) width, and 15.6 mL (0.9
cubic inches) volume.
[0245] With the mixture made for pouring into the implement cavity,
continue pouring the mold liquid into the assistive implement 110
cavities of the clay mold tablet 364 tray. Allow the liquid mold to
cure overnight. After the liquid mold has cured, remove the front
face cover as per the directions with FIG. 21. Then execute removal
of the part 1 mold 366 and measure its dimensions. Then plan, mark
and excavate the shaper tray as per directions with FIG. 24. Then
test the fit of the part 1 mold 366 in the cavities. The mold
should not show any wrinkles. After the part 1 mold 366 with the
wood inserts in it fits in the shaper tray, attach the front face
covers as per the directions in FIG. 21. Then prepare for pouring
with the small amounts of clay mold and the petroleum jelly
application. With the mixture made for the implement cavity
continue pouring the mold liquid into the assistive shaper tray.
Allow the liquid mold to cure overnight.
[0246] After the liquid mold has cured, make a perforation in the
top central area using a rounded-angled sharp sculpturing type
tool. Then remove the front face cover and execute mold and wood
insert removal.
[0247] Attach the front face cover. Place small amounts of the clay
mold on the top of the part 1 mold 366 and the adjacent walls of
the cavity. Apply the petroleum jelly as before. Then place the
part 2 mold 368 on top and press it down.
[0248] After pouring the casting liquid mixture into the assistive
implement 110 cavity in the shaper tray, continue pouring the
liquid mixture into the assistive implement 110 cavities in the
shaper tray without tilting it. Alternatively, if, because pouring
of the mixed casting liquid into the assistive implement 110 cavity
was excessively long, follow the directions below.
[0249] Loosen the covers for the part A and part B casting liquids.
Then methodically mix both parts then pour part B into a glass
measuring cup with a shallow, wide spout then pour part A into it
and mix. Then after pouring the mixture in the implement shaper
tray, proceed to pour the mixture through the excavation atop each
of the tray's assistive implement 110 cavity; it's not necessary to
tilt the assistive implement 110 shaper. Allow the mixed casting
liquid to cure for approximately an hour.
[0250] After the cast has cured, remove the front face cover, the
mold parts and finally, the casted assistive implements. Refer to
the directions in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 to properly attach, cincture
and operate the assistive implements as per the directions in FIG.
