Definitions
- the present invention relates to gloves and, more particularly, to stretchable gloves and a number improvements in their structural features to bring increased safety and comfort.
- Gloves are used by mechanics, contractors, gardeners, warehouse workers, and anyone needing protection to keep one's' hands free from cuts and scratches, as well as warm and dry.
- gloves one often loses tactile sensing and flexibility, causing the wearer to remove the gloves to perform more delicate tasks, such as picking up small objects (a nail, a bolt and/or a washer), or reaching for coins in one's pocket, or even dialing a cell phone.
- the typical gloves one wears for work are normally too bulky and stiff to provide the necessary tactile sensing to permit many common tasks, in addition to the few mentioned above. Prior to performing some tasks, it is common for a wearer to remove at least one glove (or both gloves), thus exposing the hands to the elements and/or possible chemicals and hazards in which the wearing of the glove was intended to protect.
- the present invention overcomes the disadvantages and shortcomings discussed above by providing a glove made of an elastomeric central fabric in the palm area of the hand such that the different portions of the glove attached to the central fabric stretch with the fabric, so as to provide a snug fit on the hand.
- One advantage of this stretchable central fabric is that tactile sensing is improved due to the tension of the elastomeric central fabric.
- each of the embodiments contains additional features that overcome some long known problems associated with the wearing of gloves, particularly work gloves.
- FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrate perspective views of a glove according to a first exemplary embodiment according to the present invention

- FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate perspective views of a glove according to a third exemplary embodiment according to the present invention
- FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate perspective views of a glove according to a fourth exemplary embodiment according to the present invention.
- FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate perspective views of a glove according to a fifth exemplary embodiment according to the present invention.
- FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrate a first exemplary embodiment according to the present invention.
- FIG. 1A shows a front or palm side of the glove 100 and
- FIG. 1B shows a rear or back side of the glove.
- a glove 100 has a plurality of fingers 102 a - 102 e having respective fingertips 104 a - 104 e constructed of a thermoplastic rubber.
- the thermoplastic rubber (TPR) fingertips 104 a - 104 e provide an increase in tactile sensitivity. More particularly, the fingertips may be constructed of a urethane coated fabric.
- Slightly below the fingertips 104 a and 104 b are triple-seamed portions 106 arranged horizontally across each of the fingers approximately next to an area of the uppermost bending portion of a human finger. The triple-seamed portion permits a wearer to cut-off the top of the fingers of the glove without causing the fabric to unravel.
- the triple seam portions 106 allow a wearer to cut off the fingers off between the seams and allow at least one horizontal seam of the triple seam portions 106 to remain in tact.
- stress reliefs 108 are arranged so as to correspond approximately to the finger joints on each of the fingers 102 a - 102 e so as to permit ease in a wearer bending the finger portions of the glove.
- a plurality of stress reliefs 108 are preferably arranged in each of the fingers 102 a - 102 e .

Abstract
Description
- The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/648,784 filed Feb. 1, 2005, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. The present application is also a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/343,990 filed Jan. 31, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
- The present invention relates to gloves and, more particularly, to stretchable gloves and a number improvements in their structural features to bring increased safety and comfort.
- Gloves are used by mechanics, contractors, gardeners, warehouse workers, and anyone needing protection to keep one's' hands free from cuts and scratches, as well as warm and dry. However, by wearing gloves, one often loses tactile sensing and flexibility, causing the wearer to remove the gloves to perform more delicate tasks, such as picking up small objects (a nail, a bolt and/or a washer), or reaching for coins in one's pocket, or even dialing a cell phone. The typical gloves one wears for work are normally too bulky and stiff to provide the necessary tactile sensing to permit many common tasks, in addition to the few mentioned above. Prior to performing some tasks, it is common for a wearer to remove at least one glove (or both gloves), thus exposing the hands to the elements and/or possible chemicals and hazards in which the wearing of the glove was intended to protect.
- The present invention overcomes the disadvantages and shortcomings discussed above by providing a glove made of an elastomeric central fabric in the palm area of the hand such that the different portions of the glove attached to the central fabric stretch with the fabric, so as to provide a snug fit on the hand. One advantage of this stretchable central fabric is that tactile sensing is improved due to the tension of the elastomeric central fabric. In addition, each of the embodiments contains additional features that overcome some long known problems associated with the wearing of gloves, particularly work gloves.
- Further features and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly on a reading of the detailed description of the exemplary embodiments of the invention, which is given below by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- For a more complete understanding of the present invention, reference is made to the following detailed description of the exemplary embodiments considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrate perspective views of a glove according to a first exemplary embodiment according to the present invention; -
FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C illustrate perspective views of a glove according to a second exemplary embodiment according to the present invention; -
FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate perspective views of a glove according to a third exemplary embodiment according to the present invention; -
FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate perspective views of a glove according to a fourth exemplary embodiment according to the present invention; and -
FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate perspective views of a glove according to a fifth exemplary embodiment according to the present invention. - In the following description, five exemplary embodiments of gloves according to the present invention shall be shown and described. It will be appreciated by the artisan that many of the features shown and described are not mutually exclusive to any one particular embodiment, and it is possible to provide a glove that has a structure including features from some or even all of the different embodiments. In addition, although the view only depict a glove for a left hand, it is clearly understood by an artisan that the structure of a glove for a right hand is a mirror image of the gloves shown and described herein below.
-
FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrate a first exemplary embodiment according to the present invention.FIG. 1A shows a front or palm side of theglove 100 andFIG. 1B shows a rear or back side of the glove. - As shown in
FIG. 1A , aglove 100 has a plurality of fingers 102 a-102 e having respective fingertips 104 a-104 e constructed of a thermoplastic rubber. The thermoplastic rubber (TPR) fingertips 104 a-104 e provide an increase in tactile sensitivity. More particularly, the fingertips may be constructed of a urethane coated fabric. Slightly below thefingertips seamed portions 106 arranged horizontally across each of the fingers approximately next to an area of the uppermost bending portion of a human finger. The triple-seamed portion permits a wearer to cut-off the top of the fingers of the glove without causing the fabric to unravel. Workmen sometimes cut off the fingers of their gloves to permit an optimum tactile sensitivity, and it is a known problem that once the gloves are cut across the fingers, the stitching starts to unravel, particularly when the gloves are subjected to scraping and scuffing during their use. However, in this embodiment of the present invention, thetriple seam portions 106 allow a wearer to cut off the fingers off between the seams and allow at least one horizontal seam of thetriple seam portions 106 to remain in tact. - Referring to
FIG. 1A ,stress reliefs 108 are arranged so as to correspond approximately to the finger joints on each of the fingers 102 a-102 e so as to permit ease in a wearer bending the finger portions of the glove. A plurality ofstress reliefs 108 are preferably arranged in each of the fingers 102 a-102 e.FIG. 1A also shows that thethumb 102 a,index finger 102 b and the smallest finger (a.k.a. pinky) 102 e each have severaladditional reliefs 108, with the additional stress reliefs being arranged, for example, at the base of the finger, approximately next to a knuckle. - Still referring to
FIG. 1A , theglove 100 has an elastomericcentral base fabric 110 that is arranged as a series ofchannels 112 along the palm of a hand, wherein the channels generally follow the fold lines of the palm of the human hand. Thesechannels 112 provide comfort by providing a tension on the fabric attached to the sides of thechannels 112 of theelastomeric base fabric 110, thus providing a snugger overall fit. Oneparticular channel 112 a, which is substantially oriented in a position toward the wrist, connects to the TPR moldedpull 114 so as to maintain tension (and thus stretchability) from the base of the fingers down to the wrist, where aurethane cuff trim 116 is arranged at a lowest portion of theglove 100 to assist in providing a snug fit on the wrist. The portions of fabric on the palm between the channels can be made, for example, from a synthetic coatedleather 118 that provides a tough gripping surface. - Still referring to
FIG. 1A , another feature of theglove 100 is that at least one fingertip, such asindex fingertip 104 b, may have amagnet 120 arranged on or within a portion of thefingertip 104 b to permit a mechanic/tradesman to be able to pick up and retain a nail, screw, bolt, washer, (not shown) etc., without having to grip the item. This magnetic feature provides an advantage because typically a wearer will remove one glove so as to be able to have the dexterity to grab and hold onto the metallic item, or attempt to hold the item by pinching it, for example, between the index finger and the thumb of the glove, which is often a cumbersome, and can be easily dropped. This feature also provides for reduced waste, as workman often reach for another nail or bolt out of their supply when one is dropped. In addition, there is a reduction in the possibility of injury to people passing by, for example, a construction site where there are workmen on raised scaffold that could drop nails/bolts. Also, this feature provides for a reduced possibility of injury to the wearer who does not expose his/her hands to the elements by removing the glove to hold a metallic item prior to hammering. In other words, the wearer is less likely to receive a hand injury if his hands remain covered at all times by the gloves. - In addition, it is noted that the material by which the fingertip is made can also be formed of a magnetizeable fiber or coating in lieu of a physical magnet arranged in or on a pocket in the fabric. The magnetic forces in the stitching of the finger of the glove will hold the metallic item on the
fingertip 104 b, resulting in fewer items being dropped.FIG. 1A also shows that spandex forchettes 122 may be arranged along the side of the fingers in order to provide for a snug fit of the glove on the fingers 102 and for stress relief. -
FIG. 1B shows a back side of the first embodiment of theglove 100 according to the present invention. It can be seen from this drawing that thefingertips 104 a provide protection on the back side of the fingers, as well as on the front side (shown inFIG. 1A ). Coatedsynthetic leather 118, (also shown inFIG. 1A ), is used to provide knuckle protection along the back of the hand at the base of the fingers. The back of the fingertips are also triple-seamed 106 to permit removal of the tops of the fingers without having the fabric unravel. - In addition,
TPR scribing sliders 124 are arranged along the side of theindex finger 104 b of the glove. The scribingsliders 124 assist with the grip of a pen or marker, providing the advantage that one does not have to remove the gloves to write. - Still referring to
FIG. 1B ,stretch mesh 126 is arranged on a back portion of the fingers and the lower portion of the back of the hand. Brow wipe 128 is preferably constructed of terry cloth to facilitate rubbing against one's forehead to remove perspiration without having to reach for tissues, etc. in one's pocket, which is often a difficult task while wearing gloves.Wrist fastener 130 is preferably made of TPR with aVelcro fastener 132, one side of which is arranged on thecuff 134. Thecuff trim 116 extends around the lower portion of thecuff 134. - Typically, the stretchability of the gloves is approximately 10-700% (preferably 50-300%) but the amount of stretchability can vary so to be either more or less stretchable, depending in part on the specific elastomeric materials used.
-
FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C illustrate a second exemplary embodiment of stretchable gloves according to the present invention. Elements illustrated in FIGS. 2A-2C that correspond to elements described above with reference toFIGS. 1A and 1B have been designated by corresponding reference numerals increased by one hundred. In addition, elements illustrated inFIGS. 2A-2C that do not correspond to the elements described above have been designated by odd-numbered reference numerals starting withreference numeral 211. The exemplary embodiment inFIGS. 2A-2C operates in the same manner and provides the same advantages as the exemplary embodiment inFIGS. 1A and 1B , unless otherwise stated. - As shown in
FIG. 2A , theglove 200 has aTPR finger flap 211 that is foldable backward over the finger so as to expose the finger tip (shown inFIG. 2C ). Thefinger flap 211 allows one, for example, to pick up a pen, dial a cell phone, push a particular button on a vending machine, etc. without having to remove the glove in its entirety from the hand. It is common for glove wearers to remove a glove to perform some or all of the activities mentioned herein above. Typically, while theend portion 213 of thefinger flap 211 may drape over the front of the finger, it is possible that a material such asVelcro 215 can be arranged underneath theend portion 213 to secure the folded over fingertip to the front of the finger. Reinforcements 217 made of TPR help to keep thefinger flap 211 from folding back from the front of the finger towards the back of the finger. -
FIG. 2B shows the back side of theglove 200 shown inFIG. 2A . There areTPR finger protectors 219 that are arranged on the back ofthumb 202 a and the backs of theother fingers 202 b-202 e, as well as on the knuckles. TheTPR finger protectors 213 are arranged on top of aneoprene foam material 221, so to provide additional protection from injury to the backs of the fingers, the knuckles, and the back of the hand. Below the first group ofTPR finger protectors 219, there is a strip of tough coatedsynthetic leather 218 on each of the fingers. A larger strip of coatedsynthetic leather 218 is arranged across a section of the back the hand to provide additional protection to the hand and knuckles. With regard to the arrangement of the coated synthetic leather, it is preferable that thesynthetic leather 218 is attached on theneoprene foam layer 221 so as to provide an additional layer of protection. -
FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate a third exemplary embodiment of a stretchable glove according to the present invention. Elements illustrated inFIGS. 3A and 3B that correspond to elements described above with reference toFIGS. 1A and 1B have been designated by corresponding reference numerals increased by two hundred. In addition, elements illustrated inFIGS. 3A and 3B that do not correspond to the elements described above have been designated by odd-numbered reference numerals starting withreference numeral 311. The exemplary embodiment inFIGS. 3A and 3B operates in the same manner and provides the same advantages as the exemplary embodiment inFIGS. 1A and 1B , unless otherwise stated. - The
glove 300 shown inFIGS. 3A and 3B is particularly well-suited for a setting such as a garden, wherein there is a likelihood that one's hands will come in contact with water, mud, etc. Featured in this exemplary embodiment are a series of elastomeric traction surfaces 311 that assist with “wet gripping”, meaning that the items to be held are wet, or the gloves are already wet from, for example, garden use. In addition to thestress relief points 308 already provided, theglove 300 has a water resistantelastomeric base 313 for comfort. This base helps to keep the wearer's hands dry. - In addition, there is an elastomer coated
synthetic leather 315 used to promote good grip capability and wear. At the bottom of the glove, there is apull 319 that is used to put on or take off theglove 300. - With regard to
FIG. 3B , the back side of theglove 300 is shown. The back of the glove is made of astretchable material 326, such as neoprene, to provide cushioning to the hand. A series of moldedfinger protectors 321 are vertically oriented along thefingers 302 b-302 d for the purpose of absorbing impact that might otherwise injure the hand. The back of the glove has two distinct knits help to keep the hand dry. Theback knit pad 323 provides an additional cushioning for a delicate portion of the back of the hand. The remainder of the material is thestretchable material 326 described above. Along the edges of thefingers 302 b-302 d, there can be forchettes (not shown) arranged to increase comfort. The forchettes may be constructed of spandex, Lycra or a similar stretchable material. The spandex material provides for the glove to fit snuggly in the finger area because it stretches, and also provides a source of stress relief.
