20100257656 | AMBIDEXTROUS GLOVE - An ambidextrous glove that includes a thumb region, an index finger region, a middle finger region, a ring finger region and little finger region all aligned along a common axis. The index finger region is rotated through ninety degrees relative to the orientations of all of the middle, ring and little finger regions to provide for easier insertion of a hand into the glove. A textured pattern is provided on the surfaces of the glove used to grip objects. The pattern is one of a raised fan shape and raised diamond shape. | 10-14-2010 |
20110145967 | PROTECTIVE GLOVE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A temperature resistant and fluid impermeable protective glove having front and back panels joined by at least one seam. During manufacture, the glove is dipped into a first thin liquid to coat the exterior surface of the glove. The first liquid penetrates through gaps in the seam and seals those gaps as it solidifies. The first liquid coated glove is then dipped into a second thicker liquid to coat the entire exterior surface including the sealed seam. A third coating may be applied to the interior surface of the glove prior to joining the front and back panels together. The glove may also include an interior liner and an exterior protective member for added comfort and protection. | 06-23-2011 |

20140259283 | GLOVE WITH IMPROVED FINGER AREAS - A glove including a wrist region, a palm region, and digit regions. A band zone is defined in a back surface of one or more digit regions and grippingly engages a back of the user's digit received in that region. The band zone includes C-shaped elastomeric bands disposed at right angles to a longitudinal axis of the digit region. Each band extends around less than one half of the circumference of the digit region. The band zone extends from proximate the palm region to an area disposed adjacent a nail of the user's digit. A smooth zone is provided in a surface of the digit region opposite the band zone. The smooth zone is free of elastomeric bands and contacts a front surface of the user's digit. This configuration aids in gripping the user's digit while preserving tactile sensitivity therein when the glove is used for long periods of time. | 09-18-2014 |
20150020284 | PROTECTIVE DEVICE FOR USE WITH A GLOVE - A protective device has a thumb connector and an index finger connector with a protective member extending therebetween. The protective device is designed to protect the thumb webbing region surface of a liquid proof heat resistant glove or mitten as a spit from a rotisserie oven is drawn atop the protective device. The device may be adjustably connected to the glove or mitten. The protective member may have a generally corrugated shape permitting the spit to transition easily atop it. Further, a living hinge may be provided as part of the protective member allowing it to be formed into a V-shaped channel. | 01-22-2015 |
20150020727 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRACKING GLOVE FAILURE - A system and method for identifying areas of a processing plant in which a glove is damaged. The system includes utilizing color-coded sets of gloves in different areas or processing steps within the plant. All the gloves used in a particular plant are provided with a unique identifier. If a piece of a glove is located in the product within the plant, the color of that piece indicates the area or process of the plant in which the glove was used. If a piece of a damaged glove is located in the product at a remote destination, the unique identifier in that piece is matched with a registry to determine the plant in which the glove was used. The color of the piece then helps the plant to identify where the damaged glove was used. The system and method are particularly helpful in the food processing industry, especially meat processing. | 01-22-2015 |
