Definitions

  • Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to gloves and, more particularly, to polymeric gloves having raised features comprised of polymeric compositions disposed on the gloves and methods of making the gloves.
  • Gloves are utilized in many fields for protecting workers, such as medical, industrial, and chemical industries as well as for household uses.
  • gloves include features to impart grip-ability and flexibility properties.
  • gloves are subjected to extensive wear from cuts, punctures, and abrasions.
  • Some polymeric gloves are formed from dipping a former into a polymeric composition, e.g., natural rubber latex, synthetic rubber latex, or the like, to form a coating in the shape of the former.
  • a polymeric composition e.g., natural rubber latex, synthetic rubber latex, or the like
  • Such gloves are typically smooth and, therefore, do not offer adequate grip properties.
  • Past attempts to impart grip properties to gloves have involved the use of caustic chemicals, salts, and require additional processes.
  • gloves comprise foamed coatings.
  • such gloves may protect users against germs, viruses, and microbes as well as injuries, such gloves are not particularly abrasion- or cut-resistant, especially when foamed, leading to breaches during use and particularly during extended use.
  • gloves having open-celled foams have networks of inter-connecting cells and, generally, have a surface texture, which can aid in grip properties.
  • open-celled foams do not adequately protect users from, for instance, medical hazards, such as germs, bacteria, viruses, and the like, as well as chemicals. Accordingly, users often double-glove, reducing comfort and grip.
  • JP3164008 discloses the preamble of claim 1.
  • US2006/150300 discloses a method of forming a multi-layer glove with enhanced grip characteristics by having a texture created by particles which are dissolved and not present in the end product.

  • the plurality of raised features is disposed on a polymeric layer(s) before curing the polymeric layer(s).
  • the polymeric composition, whether for the polymeric layer(s) or the raised features is foamed, as discussed more fully below.
  • the process according to embodiments of the disclosure comprises the step of applying a coagulant onto a glove-shaped former and dipping the former into a first polymeric composition to form a polymeric layer, i.e., an unsupported glove, as discussed below. Subsequently, raised features, such as dots, mounds, bullets, straight or curved rails, circles, toroids, grains, and the like, optionally disposed in patterns, comprising a second polymeric composition, are disposed on the unsupported glove.
  • Figure 1 depicts an exemplary flow diagram of a method 100 for making a glove according to embodiments of the disclosure.
  • the method 100 starts at step 102 and proceeds to step 104, at which point a former is heated, for example, from between 40-60°C.
  • the former is, for example, a metallic or ceramic former in the shape of a glove and may be in an arcuate shape, such as a partially closed hand or, alternatively, a flat shape.
  • a decision is made whether to apply a coagulant to the former, such as an aqueous coagulant or a powdered coagulant as are known to those in the art.
  • a coagulant is applied to the former, which, for e.g., may be a dipping or spraying step. If the answer is no, the method 100 proceeds directly to step 110, at which point the former is dipped into a polymeric composition, forming a polymeric coating on the former.

  • the method 100 then proceeds to step 120 at which point the method 100 ends.
  • the curing step(s) comprise, in some embodiments, curing in an oven at, for example, 50°C to 150°C for approximately 10 to 60 minutes.
  • gloves having the additional raised features disposed thereon are placed into an oven, for example, an infrared oven and heated to approximately 105°C to 130°C for approximately 5 to 30 minutes, forming a cured glove.
  • curing is for approximately 7-8 minutes at 130°C or, for example, 20 minutes at approximately 115°C.

  • the glove 200 is comprised of a polymeric coating 222 disposed on a former as discussed above. Disposed on the polymeric coating 222 is a plurality of polymeric features 224, which may be of any practical shape or size. Also, the glove 200 further comprises wherein the polymeric features 224 are arranged in patterns.
  • the diamond-shaped features 224 are disposed on areas where grip is most important, such as where the knuckles bend on the palmside. Furthermore, the glove 200 comprises features 224 along bend lines 226, which is where a hand bends when gripping objects. Disposing polymeric features 224 along such areas concentrates the stress of the gripping action where it is needed most and provides greater grip.
  • the polymeric coating 222 comprises one or more polymeric material or blends, as described above in Tables 1 and 2 or in other polymeric compositions.
  • the polymeric coating in accordance with the disclosure may comprise natural or synthetic polymeric coatings or mixtures or blends thereof.
  • the polymeric composition may comprise a natural latex, such as guayule or natural polyisoprene, synthetic latexes, such as synthetic polyisoprene, carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene, non-carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene, acrylics, butyl latex, polychloroprene, nitriles, aqueous- and non-aqueous-polyurethanes, styrene-butadiene, acrylonitrile-butadiene, and the like, or mixtures or blends thereof.
  • synthetic latexes such as synthetic polyisoprene, carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene, non-carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene, acrylics, butyl latex, polychloroprene, nitriles, aqueous- and non-aqueous-polyurethanes, styrene-butadiene
  • the plurality of features 224 disposed on the polymeric coating 222 comprise polymeric compositions, which are different than the composition comprising the polymeric coating 222.
  • the polymeric coating 222 comprises an aqueous polyurethane material and, as discussed below, the additional raised features disposed thereon further comprise a nitrite-butadiene composition, or vice versa.
  • nitrile-butadiene rubbers offer good grip properties for dry in-service requirements while polyurethanes offer good grip properties for wet and oily environments. Therefore, a glove comprising a layer or coating of, for example, polyurethane and having additional raised features comprising nitrile, disposed on a surface of the unsupported glove, or vice-versa, can be used in both dry and wet/oily environments. Therefore, a user need not re-glove or have two different types of gloves because one glove, according to embodiments of the invention, will exhibit enhanced gripping properties for wet, dry, and oily environments.
  • the temperature of the polymeric composition may be controlled, as is known in the art, and may include additives, such as surfactants, to control or modify the physical properties of the composition and/or resulting article formed thereby.
  • the composition may also comprise various accelerators, stabilizers, pigments, and the like.
  • the composition comprises additives, such as bentonite and other clays, minerals, silica, and like thickeners, to control the rheological properties of the composition.
  • the composition of one or more embodiments may also include a cure package or vulcanization agents to promote cross-linking during the curing process, such as sulfur and/or other suitable crosslinking agents known to those in the art and activators, such as zinc oxide.
  • Embodiments according to the disclosure comprise polymeric compositions generally having a viscosity in the range of 250-5000 centipoise and further comprise commonly used stabilizers including but not limited to potassium hydroxide, ammonia, sulfonates, and the like.
  • the composition may contain other commonly used ingredients such as surfactants, anti-microbial agents, fillers/additives, and the like.
  • the viscosity of the formulation for the additional raised features ranges from approximately 1000 cP to 40000 cP.
  • a typical coagulant comprises a 2-15 wt% calcium nitrate aqueous solution.
  • the coagulant solution dries on the former.
  • the composition is destabilized and gels.
  • suitable coagulants include, but are not limited to, strong coagulants, such as calcium chloride or calcium citrate, and weak acids, such as tricarboxylic acid, acetic acid, formic acid, and other weak acid salts known to those in the art.
  • the polymeric composition is foamed, which is retained in the dipped article.
  • the air content is typically in the 5 to 50% range on a volume basis.
  • the composition may contain additional surfactants such as TWEEN 20 to stabilize the foamed composition.
  • An air content in the range of 5-15 volumetric percent results in foams that have closed cells, creating a foamed coating that is liquid impervious and has a spongy, soft feel.
  • the volumetric air content is in the range of 15-50% in a foamed coating, the air cells are adjacent to each other and expand during a vulcanization heating step and touch each other, merge, and burst. This process creates a foam having an open-celled structure comprising an intra-foam network of cells in fluid communication with each other.
  • open-celled foams absorb liquids into an internal matrix, enhancing the wet and oily grip properties of the glove. For example, if a drop of liquid is placed on a glove in the palm portion, the liquid penetrates the polymeric coating cells, as opposed to a closed-cell foam, which is impervious to liquids.
  • a polymeric open-celled foam disposed as a coating on a liner allows the additional raised features disposed on the coating, as discussed below, to penetrate the internal cell matrix of the coating, forming a glove comprising more abrasion-resistant additional raised features that do not peel from the coating as readily.
  • the surface tension of the composition comprising the additional raised features can be varied to promote adherence to the foamed coating.
  • Figure 3 depicts the palmside of an exemplary glove 300 having features disposed thereon according to embodiments of the present invention.
  • the glove 300 comprises a polymeric coating 222, including a pinky finger 206, a ring finger 210, a middle finger 212, an index finger 204, a thumb 202, a palm component 214.
  • the glove 300 may be, for example, a surgical or examination glove.
  • Disposed on the polymeric coating 222 is a plurality of polymeric features 302, 304, 306.
  • the additional raised features comprise half-circles 302, round dots 304, and rectangular rails 306.
  • the round, raised dots have a thickness between 1.0 to 2.0 mm.
  • the diameter of the round raised dots range from approximately 1 to 10 mm in diameter.
  • any practical shape, such as hexagonal, size, and number of additional raised features may be disposed on the polymeric coating 222.
  • all other polymeric features disclosed herein comprise similar practical sizes on a glove for differently sized human hands.
  • the grip properties of the glove 300 are enhanced by a ratio of the area of raised additional raised features versus the area of the polymeric coating 222 upon which the additional raised features are disposed.
  • nitrile-butadiene rubbers offer good grip properties for dry in-service requirements while polyurethanes offer good grip properties for wet and oily environments. Therefore, the combination of additional raised features comprising polyurethane on a nitrile-butadiene coating, and vice-versa, forms a glove having surprisingly enhanced grip properties.
  • the invention comprises a foamed inner layer (not shown) disposed on an inner surface of the coating.
  • the foamed inner layer may be an open-celled foam, comprising a network of inter-connected cells as is known to those in the art. Open-celled foam, when disposed on an inner layer of a glove, for example, a skin-contacting layer, absorb moisture and/or perspiration, promoting a hygienic condition and/or comfort.
  • FIGS. 2-3 depict various alternative embodiments of additional raised features disposed on the gloves of FIGS. 2-3 , according to embodiments of the disclosure.
  • Different patterns of the raised features may impart different grip properties, such as for dry, wet, or oily service requirements.
  • FIG. 4A shows two separate embodiments of patterns of additional raised features comprising a polymeric composition and disposed on, for example, a coating or layer(s) of the polymeric composition.
  • the raised dots 402, as shown, are small but may be as large as is practical.
  • a feature 405 is the underlying coating layer described above.
  • the raised dots 402 are disposed in single file laterally and longitudinally.
  • the raised dots 402 are disposed in a staggered pattern.
  • the additional raised features comprise a wave-like raised feature 408.
  • the wave-like raised feature 408 may be in a staggered pattern 410 or in a single file (not shown). Also, as shown in a pattern 412, ends 414 and 416 of adjacent wave-like raised feature 408 may form an interlocked structure. In some embodiments, the wave-like feature assumes a "C" structure.
  • FIG. 4C shows patterns of additional raised features 420 and 422.
  • a ring 420 is a raised circular rail that surrounds a raised dot 422.
  • a feature 421 is the coating layer applied as above and, therefore, it is recessed from the raised ring 420 and the raised dot 422.
  • the additional raised features may be disposed in a single file pattern 424 or in a staggered pattern 426.
  • FIG. 4D depicts the additional raised features as rectangular raised rails 430 in a staggered pattern 432.
  • Embodiments according to the invention also comprise where rectangular raised rails 430 are disposed in a grain pattern 434, i.e., where several straight or curved patterns of rectangular raised rails 430 intersect, like wood grain.
  • FIG. 4E depicts small thicker rings 450 arranged in a staggered pattern 452.
  • FIG. 4F depicts large thinner rings 460 arranged in a staggered pattern 462.
  • Abrasion resistance and grip properties exhibit surprisingly increased performance over prior art gloves. This phenomenon is true irrespective of whether the additional raised features are disposed on the coating as bullets, small rings, big rings, toroids, dots, waves, or grains. Without intending to be bound by theory, it is believed that one explanation for the increased grip performance is that when pulling forces reach a certain threshold, dragging is overcome and a sample is moved easier. This causes a drop in pulling and, consequently, the sample starts a new increase of resistance to movement. In other words, there is a build-up and drop of the drag.
