Definitions

  • Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to gloves and, more particularly, to gloves comprising cut-resistant yarns and fibers in selected zones.
  • Gloves are used in many industries and households to protect the hands of users. Many gloves are designed for specific applications, for example, cut resistant gloves for use in the food services industries. Cut resistant yarns are also used in gloves for other industries, such as laborers who use power tools, saws, work with sheet metal, and the like. However, many such gloves are over- engineered by having, for example, cut-resistant yarns knitted throughout an entire glove, although cut resistance is not needed in all areas of the glove. Furthermore, cut-resistant yarns are often more bulky and inflexible, producing a glove that is not thin, dextrous, flexible, or comfortable enough for a given use.
  • gloves often require chemical, heat, flame, abrasion, and impact resistance, among other properties, requiring the incorporation of additional yarns within a glove.
  • engineering yarns are expensive, and incorporating such yarns in areas of a glove where not needed is wasteful. Designing gloves for such applications can, however, prove to be challenging with a balance of properties in mind and past attempts have failed at providing such gloves. Therefore, gloves having an enhanced balance of desirable properties in various regions or zones of gloves would represent an advance in the art.
  • Embodiments of the invention comprise knitted gloves including, for example, a cut-resistant yarn in at least one knitted zone of a glove and further optionally including one or more yarns knitted into other knitted zones of the glove, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, as set forth more completely in the claims.

  • Figure 2 depicts a cut away view of the glove of FIG. 1 , in accordance with embodiments of the invention.
  • Figure 3 depicts a second cut away view of the glove from FIG. 1 , according to embodiments of the invention.
  • Figure 4 depicts a plan view of the palm side of a glove, in accordance with embodiments of the invention.
  • Figure 5 depicts a plan view of the backhand side of the glove of FIG. 4, in accordance with embodiments of the invention.
  • Figure 6 depicts the uncoated palm side of a liner according to embodiments of the invention.

  • Figure 9 depicts the backhand side of the liner of FIG. 8, in accordance with embodiments of the invention.
  • Figure 10 depicts a perspective view of a glove having a polymeric coating in accordance with embodiments of the invention.
  • Embodiments of the present invention comprise knitted liners having at least one knitted zone.
  • many knitted liners comprise a plurality of zones.
  • at least one zone comprises vertically knitted courses and includes a cut resistant yarn.
  • some liners comprise zones having a second yarn that exhibits a second desired property, for example, flexibility, abrasion resistance, heat resistance, moisture management, and the like.
  • a second yarn is plaited with a main yarn in one or more zones of the liner, creating a second layer of yarn in the one or more zones, which may also comprise vertically knitted courses.
  • the zones of a liner in which, for example, a cut resistant yarn is knitted may be defined by an end use of a glove.
  • a liner may be knitted by conventional knitting processes, typically having knitted courses disposed horizontally to a longitudinal axis of the liner, comprising various yarns of certain deniers and gauges.
  • one or more zones of a liner may be knitted vertically, as discussed in more detail below.
  • the courses of the knitted glove run along the longitudinal axis of the glove (e.g., the axis from the center of the wrist to the tip of the middle finger). Because the various zones of gloves can be knitted vertically, many different designs for zones of a liner are possible. For example, the palm side and backhand side of a knitted liner need not be the same, creating greater design options.
  • a glove may comprise liners having knitted courses that include both vertically and horizontally
  • liners in accordance with some embodiments of the invention comprise tapered zones having a variable thickness, knitted ridges, and like structures on a knitted liner in a z- direction with respect to horizontally and vertically knitted courses.
  • Gloves in accordance with embodiments of the invention may be specified for specific end uses.
  • a glove intended for use by some food-service employees comprises a cut resistant yarn in selected zones of the liner chosen to protect a user who is using a knife.
  • cut resistant yarns may be specified for the fingertips while comprising a flexible yarn for comfort and dexterity in other zones of the liner.
  • Other exemplary embodiments of the invention include a glove intended for use by a food-service employees who use sharp knives and grab hot pan handles, which comprises a cut-resistant yarn in one region of the glove and a heat- and/or flame-resistant yarn in another region, such as on the palm or a chemical- or oil- resistant yarn on the backhand.
  • a glove for each hand may be tailored to the function.
  • the glove for the hand holding the knife may comprise a cut resistant yarn in one zone of the glove, for example, the index and middle fingers
  • the other glove, the "off' hand glove, which may be holding an item to be cut comprises a cut resistant yarn in a different zone, for example, the tips of the thumb and index finger, and/or wrist.
  • embodiments of the invention comprise yarns having different colors, providing visual indicia of the specific type of protection, i.e., cut-resistance, chemical- resistance, flexibility, or the like, a zone within the glove offers.
  • a user can be made aware that, for example, a yellow yarn represents cut-resistance while a black yarn indicates heat-resistance. A user can therefore choose a glove having those properties in zones of the glove as needed for a specific task.
  • Figure 1 depicts a liner according to embodiments of the invention.
  • Liner 100 comprises eight zones, four of which define the four finger zones 1 , 2, 3, and 4, one defining the thumb zone 5, one defining an upper palm zone 6, one defining a
  • a liner may comprise fewer zones or as many as is practicable.
  • any of zones 1 -8 may have one or more zones within a zone.
  • each zone on the palm side of a liner may have a corresponding zone on the backhand side of the liner although, in vertically knit courses, the yarn comprising the palm side zone need not be the same as the yarn of the corresponding backhand zone, unlike when courses are knit horizontally.
  • palm side zones 1 -8 correspond with thumb 102, index finger 104, middle finger 106, ring finger 108, and pinky finger 1 10, upper palm 1 14, lower palm 1 16, and, optionally, cuff 1 12.
  • the courses of the knitted glove run laterally or, in other words, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of glove 100.
  • the courses of the knitted glove run along the longitudinal axis of glove 100 or parallel to the longitudinal axis, indicating that these courses were knitted vertically.
  • Figure 2 depicts a cut away view of the glove of FIG. 1 , in accordance with embodiments of the invention.
  • Cutaway view 120 is in exemplary upper palm zone 6 of FIG. 1 and shows three yarns 150, 160, and 170 intermeshing in loops to form courses 172, 174, and 176 of knitted stitches in horizontal rows.
  • Figure 3 depicts a second cut away view of the glove from FIG. 1 , according to embodiments of the invention.
  • Cutaway view 130 is taken from lower palm 130 corresponding to zone 7.
  • Element 130 shows three yarns 180, 182, and 184 intermeshing in loops to form courses 186, 188, and 190 of knitted stitches in vertically knitted courses, in contrast to the horizontally knit courses.
  • any finger, thumb, palm, or other zone, or sections of those zones, of a liner may comprise vertical and/or horizontal courses.
  • seamlessly knitted courses on cylindrical features, such as the finger stall of a glove can now comprise zones having different yarns around the periphery of the finger stall.

  • OPAN oxidized- polyacrylonitrile
  • Any of the zones can have vertically knitted courses. As illustrated, the entire glove in exemplary glove 200 has vertically knitted courses.
  • the glove can comprise a KEVLAR® yarn (the lighter colored yarn), as in the index finger 204, middle finger 206, and thumb 202 zones while upper palm 216, near little finger 210 and ring finger 208, can comprise an OPAN yarn (the darker colored yarn).
  • the borderline 222 connecting the OPAN and KEVLAR® yarns can, but need not, embody a non-linear line. As illustrated, a parabolic border 222 is shown, allowing additional design choices, such having cut resistance near the fingers and heat resistance (or some other property) near the heel of the hand.
  • a user can protect the fingers from cuts while, the little finger and the side of the palm (interface between the palm side and back hand side along the little finger) comprises the heat-resistant OPAN yarn, protecting from burns from a hot surface that a hand may rest on when cutting or a hot pot handle.
  • Figure 5 depicts a plan view of the backhand dorsal side of the glove of Figure 4, in accordance with embodiments of the invention.

  • the KEVLAR® yarn is substantially on the same features as on the palm side of glove 200.
  • the OPAN yarn is also on the same features as on the palm side of glove 200. However, as discussed above, this need not be the case. Because of the vertical courses, the backhand of the glove can comprise different yarns in different regions of glove 200.
  • borderline 224 embodies a completely distinct pattern than borderline 222 on the palm side of glove 200.
  • Borderline 222 on the backhand side appears parabolic and transfers into a stepped function, as shown as steps 224.
  • gloves knitted with programmable knitting machines of the SWG type may switch from knitting vertical courses to horizontal courses easily and on-the-fly, so that patterns of several different types using different yarns can be created, allowing varied glove designs having different physical and chemical properties in any desired region of the glove.
  • many multifunctional gloves can be created specifying various yarns in, and only in, desired zones.
  • Single jersey knits, full jacquard, intarsia, mesh, and other transfer patterns may be knitted within various zones of the liners.
  • Figures 4-5 also shows that glove 200, or other gloves in accordance with embodiments of the present invention, may comprise yarns having colors contrasting to each other. Where the color of one zone of the glove differs from another region, the user can easily and visually identify the particular glove type, so that whether a particular glove embodies heat- and/or flame-resistant, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and cut-resistant properties is known to the user.

  • the additional plaited layer may be plaited into the main body yarn in several ways.
  • the additional plaited layer can be formed by changing the main yarn to the additional cut resistant yarn while varying stitch dimensions, for example, yarn tension.
  • the tension of the yarn may be varied by adjusting the tension of the yarn between a pinch roller and a knitting head by computer control of a knitting machine, as is disclosed in commonly-assigned US Patent No. 7,434,422,
  • Stitch dimensions can also be controlled by varying the depth of penetration of the knitting needle into the knitted liner 300, formed by the main yarn, and by casting off or picking up additional stitches in a knitted course.
  • Additional plaited layer may also be formed by variable plaiting the additional cut resistant yarn on top of the main yarn while varying the tension of the plaited cut resistant yarn. Liners of this design may be formed with, for example and not by way of limitation, the SFG-I and NSFG model machines of Shima Seiki Mfg., Ltd. Substituting or plaiting one course at a certain tension forms a liner having additional cut resistance. Knitting two or more courses, such as three, four, five, etc., courses, provides a liner having an even greater density of additional plaited layer 330, thereby providing greater cut resistance.
