Description

Smart fish scale texture gloves

The present invention relates to a smart work glove having an inner surface and an outer surface of a fish scale texture and a method of making the same.

Typical uses for work gloves include food processing, chemical disposal, and pesticide spraying. The thickness of the work gloves should not interfere with the sense of touch. However, the work gloves should be strong enough to resist cracking. It is desirable to provide a rough or textured inner and outer surface in the work glove because the work glove having a smooth surface makes it difficult for a wearer to grip the item. A textured outer surface enables a wearer to fully grasp items that may be slippery. In addition, the inner surface of the glove is in intimate contact with the wearer's skin and does not absorb the wearer's sweat. A textured inner surface may reduce the likelihood that the wearer's hand will slip within the work glove (which may be caused by sweat) during use, wherein the textured inner surface may allow sweat to flow away from any stressed surface. The glove does not slide on the surface of the wearer's hand.

Attempts have been made to form a glove having a textured inner surface and an outer surface by treating a texture to the inner surface by using a textured form and treating the film in a manner that corrodes the film of the glove thereby Texture is created on the outer surface or by spraying particles onto the outer surface of the glove. These methods are unsatisfactory due to various factors such as, for example, lack of dexterity, difficulty in wearing, uneven thickness of the glove causing the glove to rupture during use.

Current work gloves typically utilize wearable powder (for example, such as corn starch or talc) Powder) to make it easier for a wearer to wear gloves. However, wearing powder can contaminate the wound, irritate the skin, remain on the device and clothing, and mechanically interfere with some of the procedures that a user can perform while wearing the work glove.

Previous attempts to reduce glove slip caused by wearer sweat have proven to be unsuccessful. For example, cotton linings typically only absorb a small amount of sweat before they fail.

In addition, current methods for imparting a reduced contact texture to the inner surface of the glove to reduce the effects of wearer's sweat and/or assist in wearing generally reduce the mechanical effectiveness of the glove, thereby causing the glove to rupture.

Accordingly, there is a need for a work glove having a textured inner and outer surface, improved dexterity, ease of wear, and reduced frequency of failure during use.

The invention provides a smart working glove with an inner surface and an outer surface of a fish scale texture and a manufacturing method thereof.
