Attachable Finger-Moistening Device

Abstract

An attachable finger-moistening device is provided. The device is designed to assist in moistening a finger for caulking applications. The device comprises a body with an interior space designed to hold a sponge saturated with a compound such as water, soap, or a combination thereof. The device features an opening in one side wall with a lip to prevent dripping and allows for finger insertion to moisten a finger on the saturated sponge. Additionally, the device can be attached to a belt via a fastener.

         8 . The attachable finger-moistening device of  claim 1 , wherein the body is comprised of a metal material. 
     
     
         9 . An attachable finger-moistening device comprising:
 a body comprised of an interior space, a bottom wall, a first side wall comprised of a fastener, a second side wall comprised of an opening, and a lid; and   a sponge saturated with a compound.   
     
     
         10 . The attachable finger-moistening device of  claim 9 , wherein the lid is comprised of a sliding lid. 
     
     
         11 . The attachable finger-moistening device of  claim 9 , wherein the lid is comprised of a snap-on lid. 
     
     
         12 . The attachable finger-moistening device of  claim 9 , wherein the lid is comprised of a fastener. 
     
     
         13 . The attachable finger-moistening device of  claim 9 , wherein the compound is comprised of a soap and a water. 
     
     
         14 . The attachable finger-moistening device of  claim 9 , wherein the lid attaches to the first side wall or the second side wall via a hinge. 
     
     
         15 . The attachable finger-moistening device of  claim 9 , wherein the body is comprised of a plastic material. 
     
     
         16 . A method of using an attachable finger-moistening device, the method comprising the following steps:
 providing an attachable finger-moistening device comprised of a body comprised of an interior space, an opening, and a lid;   saturating a sponge with a compound;   placing the sponge into the interior space and closing the lid;   placing a finger into the opening such that the finger contacts the sponge and becomes moistened by the compound; and   using the finger to moisten a surface.   
     
     
         17 . The method of using an attachable finger-moistening device of  claim 16 , wherein the compound is comprised of a soap and a water. 
     
     
         18 . The method of using an attachable finger-moistening device of  claim 16  further comprised of a step of attaching the attachable finger-moistening device to a belt or a surface via a fastener. 
     
     
         19 . The method of using an attachable finger-moistening device of  claim 18 , wherein the fastener is comprised of a clip. 
     
     
         20 . The method of using an attachable finger-moistening device of  claim 16 , wherein the lid is comprised of a sliding lid, a snap-on lid, or a hinged lid.
