Definitions
- This invention relates to multi-ply gloves (or mitts), having an outer insulated shell which provides a desired heat insulating and waterproof enclosure for the hands of a wearer, and a selectively removable and/or exchangeable liner in the insulated shell, the shell and the liner being specifically designed in combination to keep the hands warm and dry under the most severe weather conditions.
- the '006 Patent is formed from a multi-ply shell and a selectively removable liner, with the shell capable of use with, or without, the liner, in order to provide selected degrees of hand protection.
- the shell has an outer water repellant layer of leather, closely woven textile fabrics, or the like.
- An inner heat insulating layer in the shell is formed of a lofting material such as down, DACRON, FIBER-FILL, THINSULATE fiber, or foam.
- a waterproof breathable layer formed preferably of a poromeric material such as GORE-TEX is arranged between the water repellant layer and the heat insulating layer, and a slide layer formed of a relatively smooth material such as brushed nylon or the like is formed on the interior surface of the heat insulating layer, and bonded thereto.
- the inner slide layer on the insulating layer is preferably formed with a brushed surface permitting relatively free movement of another material thereover, yet acting to retain material in position so that the liner may be readily inserted, but tend to remain in position after insertion.
- the liner selectively utilized within the shell is preferably of a multi-ply construction formed to provide different degrees of heat insulation dependent on climatic conditions and formed of a pile, synthetic natural, or blend fabric, or of a lofting material, or a knitted cashmere or the like.
- the exterior face of the liner is formed with a coarse surface layer provided by a brushed or sueded material such as woven or knit nylon or the like, and the interior surface of the liner is preferably provided with a slide layer formed by utilizing a non-brushed nylon to facilitate insertion of the hands of the wearer.
- ком ⁇ онентs Arranged at the cuff of the liner, and the cuff of the shell, are fastening elements provided by mating VELCRO strips, zippers, and the like, serving to permit selective attachment of the liner to the shell.
- a glove and mitt construction comprised of an insulated multi-layer outer shell and selectably removable inner liner.
- said insulated multi-layer outer shell comprises an outer water repellant layer, an inner heat insulating layer, a vapor barrier layer located between said outer water repellant layer and said inner heat insulating layer, and a moisture absorbing layer formed on the inner surface of said heat insulating layer.
- said vapor barrier layer functions to trap natural body humidity within the glove construction, thereby minimizing heat loss.
- said moisture absorbing layer formed on the inner surface of said heat insulating layer permits the glove to be worn without use of the selectively removable liner, thereby providing maximum flexibility in tailoring glove use to all weather conditions.
- a degree of curve is incorporated into the fingers of the inventive multi-layer glove to provide maximum comfort when the glove is in use.
- the inventive multi-ply construction comprises an outer water repellent layer 27, which layer is formed of a variety of conventionally employed glove shell materials, such as leather, nylon or other synthetic material, or other blends of fibers. This layer may also be plastic coated.
- this layer was formed of poromeric materials such as GORE-TEX Polytetrafluoroethylene. In accordance with the instant invention, as described below, this layer has now been improved.
- the glove also consists of a heat insulating layer 31, positioned adjacent to the waterproof breathable layer 29.
- the heat insulating layer may be formed of a variety of materials such as a lofting material, or one which tends to expand in thickness so as to create air pockets between the top and bottom surface thereof. Down or synthetic or natural material fiber may be satisfactorily employed for this purpose.
- THINSULATE is one material that is found to be suitable.
- this layer consists of an unbrushed or smooth material, which was necessary in order to provide a slide surface for easy passage of a hand, or liner, into the shell 10. This layer has now been improved, as will be described below.
- Liner 20 as shown at the bottom portion of FIG. 1, consists of a relatively porous, moisture absorbing layer 45, which layer serves to provide desired warmth and comfort.
- a variety of materials can be employed for use in this layer, including flannel fabric formed of woven or knit synthetic material, or a blend of fibers.
- a smooth outer layer 46 is preferably formed on the porous, moisture absorbent layer 45.
- a smooth inner surface 48 is provided, preferably of a knit, relatively soft textile fabric, made up of material or synthetic fibers, or a blend thereof. The actual manner of enabling and constructing the multi-ply glove shown in FIG. 1 is described in detail in the '006 patent, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- the first improvement accomplished with the instant invention is to change the composition of the slide layer 33 from an unbrushed or smooth material, to a brushed or sueded material, thereby creating a moisture absorbing layer for the outer insulated shell portion of the glove.
- the previous slide material used in the '006 patent was unbrushed and, accordingly, was not able to readily absorb moisture, a situation that could leave a wearer's hand cold and damp if excess moisture was generated during exercise such as skiing.
- the new brushed slide material comprising layer 33 allows for greater moisture absorption and pass through of moisture to the other layers of the multi-ply components.
- this layer having greater moisture absorbency greatly enhances user comfort, when wearing the multi-ply outer insulated shell component without the removable liner.
- Use of the glove without the removable liner is often advantageous in response to varying weather conditions, for example when less heat retention is desirable. Accordingly, use of the new moisture absorbent layer 33 greatly enhances this feature of the multi-ply glove construction.
- An additional change necessary to facilitate use of the brush slide material for layer 33 is the necessity to create additional attachment points between the finger and thumb areas of the multi-ply insulated shell. More particularly, with the glove described in the '006 patent, the only attachment points between the multi-ply layers of the shell were at the cuff area. With the instant invention, however, the change from a smooth to a brushed slide material at layer 33 requires the addition of attachment points. Without additional attachment points between the layers of the multi-ply shell, the friction between the hand and the brushed slide material, when worn without the removable liner, would cause the multi-ply shell components to separate when the wearer attempted to remove his or her hands from the multi-ply shell.
- the multi-ply shell components are also held together at the finger and thumb tips on the glove, and the finger area and thumb area on mittens.
- the outer layer 27, and the water proof breathable layer 29, must be joined together at the finger and thumb tips.
- the heat insulating layer 31 must be fastened at the finger and thumb tip area under the water proof breathable layer 29. It is essential that all layers of the multi-ply shell be joined together in both the finger and thumb tip area, and also at the cuff area.
- the preferred method of joining the multi-ply gloves at the finger area is by gluing. However, other methods, such as stitching, laser, ultrasonic, or heat attaching may be used.
- FIG. 2 An additional improvement achieved with the instant invention, may be accomplished by making layer 29 from a vapor barrier material.
- This material is illustrated in FIG. 2.
- This vapor barrier material is an insert comprising a very thin plastic layer, into which a plurality of small holes have been added.
- the purpose of the vapor barrier is to trap the natural body humidity, which helps keep the hand warm. This is accomplished by the use of the vapor barrier insert, which surrounds the lining and traps body moisture, thereby increasing the humidity in the lining system and significantly reducing evaporative heat loss.
- FIG. 3 An additional improvement provided with the instant invention, is illustrated in FIG. 3. It is known in the glove business that "curved finger gloves" have been in existence for an extended period of time. However, it is important to determine the correct curve for each finger joint in order to achieve ultimate comfort. Experimentation and study have focused on the natural position of the hand in its relaxed state, and also the position of the hand when the fingers are gripping an object, such as a ski pole.
- this pattern must be determined for both the liner and the shell, either alone or in combination. Also, it is important to note that use of such a curve pattern, as illustrated in FIG. 3, is only necessary when the glove and liner are made of non-stretchable material. Other materials, such as leather or fabrics with normal stretch characteristics, may be cut from conventional patterNs.
- the amount of curve allowed in the palm of the hand to accommodate easy gripping of a ski pole without hand fatigue was then determined. This was not a degree of measurement, but more a function of comfort. This was established through a trial and error basis by effectively changing the fourchettes in a small degree and, in a larger sense, altering the difference between the overall length of the palm hand and the back hand until the optimum position was established.
- the degree of curve in a glove is instrumental in establishing the degree of curve in a glove. The most important is the difference in the length of the palm part of the glove to the back part of the glove. To obtain the proper curve to the finished product, the back must be longer than the palm part of the glove. The difference between the length of the palm and the length of the back, is crucial in determining the degree of curve.
- the overall length of the palm is approximately 1.9 cm (3/4") shorter than the overall length of the back.
- the overall length of the palm hand is approximately 2.54 cm (1") less than the overall length of the back. This translates to a 33 percent difference between a conventional glove and the pattern shown in FIG. 3.
