Description
- The disclosed technology relates generally to hand glove. More specifically, the disclosed technology relates to a hand glove including dual zippers for facilitating the donning and doffing of the glove.
- Children typically have a difficult time donning hand gloves. The hand openings at the bottoms of the hand gloves are often too narrow to enable a child to get their hand inside of the glove without help. If the child does ultimately get their hand inside the glove, they then have difficulty getting their fingers into the proper digit sheaths of the glove. This is owing to glove's compressive nature as they are typically tight-fitting and elastically biased toward the user's hand. If the hand opening is made too big or the glove is not tight-fitting then the glove will fall off children's hands easily.
- Children however are pretty good at operating zippers and fastening straps, such as Velcro. Accordingly, there is a need for a hand glove including dual zippers and a fastening strap that enable a child to don and doff a hand glove and tighten the glove around his or her hand when donned more easily.
- The disclosed technology provides a hand glove including a glove body having a dorsal side, a palmar side, the dorsal side opposite the palmar side, a radial side, an ulnar side, the radial side opposite the ulnar side, a hand portion defining an interior cavity configured to receive and cover the hand of a wearer, the hand portion including a palm section on the palmar side, a dorsal section on the dorsal side, an upper end including a plurality of digit sheaths protruding outwardly therefrom, and a lower end including a peripheral edge defining an opening for providing access to the interior cavity of the glove body. The hand portion extends from the radial side to the ulnar side. The plurality of digit sheaths include at least a first sheath corresponding to the first digit of a wearer's hand and second sheath corresponding to one or more of the other digits of a wearer's hand. The radial side includes a first zipper and a first fastening strap extending outwardly therefrom. The ulnar side includes a second zipper and a second fastening strap extending outwardly therefrom. The first zipper is parallel with and opposite to the second zipper. The dorsal side includes a fastener spanning the dorsal section. The first fastening strap and the second fastening strap are configured to removably attach to the fastener to secure the glove body to a wearer's hand.
- In embodiments, the first zipper and second zipper are coplanar with respect to each other defining a hypothetical plane that divides the glove body in half along a coronal plane of the glove body, thereby separating and defining the dorsal section and the palm section.
- In some embodiments, the first zipper extends longitudinally along the radial side from the peripheral edge of the hand portion to the first sheath and the second zipper extends longitudinally along the ulnar side from the peripheral edge of the hand portion to the second sheath.
- In certain embodiment, the first zipper includes a length smaller than a length of the second zipper.
- In other embodiments, the first zipper includes a length substantially equal to a length of the second zipper.
- In embodiments, the first fastening strap is disposed on the palm section of the hand portion midway along a length of the zipper and is configured to lay over the first zipper when attached to the fastener, thereby preventing the first zipper from becoming unzipped. The second fastening strap is disposed on the palm section of the hand portion midway along a length of the zipper and is configured to lay over the second zipper when attached to the fastener, thereby preventing the second zipper from becoming unzipped.
- In some embodiments, the fastener comprises a strip of fastening material extending laterally across the dorsal section from the first zipper to the second zipper.
- In certain embodiments, the first fastening strap and the second fastening strap comprise a hook and loop fastening material and the fastener comprises a corresponding hook and loop fastening material to enable attachment and disengagement.
- In embodiments, the first zipper opens from the peripheral edge to the first sheath enlarging the opening on the lower end of the hand portion at the radial side and the second zipper opens from the peripheral edge to the second sheath enlarging the opening on the lower end of the hand portion at the ulnar side.
- In some embodiments, the hand portion includes a first depth at the radial side and a second depth at the ulnar side, wherein the second depth is larger than the first depth.
- In certain embodiments, the palm section includes a wrinkled section extending from the first zipper to the second zipper. The wrinkled section opposite the fastener enabling scrunching of the palm section when the first fastening strap and the second fastening strap are attached to the fastener.
- In embodiments, the first fastening strap, the second fastening strap, the fastener, and the wrinkled section are coplanar and aligned.
- In some embodiments, the first fastening strap and the second fastening strap include substantially the same length and width.
- In certain embodiments, the first fastening strap, the second fastening strap, and the fastener include substantially the same width.
- “Dorsal” refers to “of, on, or relating to the upper side or back of an animal, plant, or organ, such as the back of a hand”. “Palmar” refers to “relating to the palm of a hand.” “Radial” refers to “the side of a hand including the thumb or first digit.” “Ulnar” refers to “the side of a hand including the pinker finger or fifth digit.” “Digit” refers to “a finger or toe including the thumb.” “Coronal plane” refers to “any vertical plane that divides the body, or organs thereof, into ventral (underside or front) and dorsal (upper side or back) sections.
