Abstract
A finger-mounted writing apparatus is disclosed which includes a housing having a forward portion for supporting a writing device extending therefrom and support means associated with the housing for receiving a user's finger and for rigidly supporting the housing relative to the finger. The writing device contacts the writing surface at a writing device contact region. A portion of the fingertip is extended beyond the support means during use, the fingertip being capable of contacting a writing surface at a fingertip contact region. Thus, the fingertip, in combination with the housing of the device, serves to support the writing apparatus during use, the fingertip additionally functioning to guide the motion of the device.
