A glove with optimized safety markings designed to improve worker safety in hazardous environments by increasing the visibility of the glove in the work environment and more easily distinguishing between the front and back of the glove. A preferred embodiment has fluorescent yellow hazard stripes, fluorescent yellow triangular safety icon and black negative space within the safety icon, all on protective members. The protective members, black in color except for the fluorescent yellow portions, are attached to the glove back.

A system includes a processor and a phased array, coupled to the processor, having an arrayed waveguide for acoustic waves to enable directional sound communication.

An article of clothing includes a torso portion, a first sleeve, and a second sleeve. The first sleeve is coupled to the first side of the torso portion. The second sleeve is coupled to the second side of the torso portion. The torso portion includes a plurality of resilient bands, one disposed diagonally on the front of the torso portion, and two diagonally disposed on the rear of the torso portion such that the two bands intersect one another. The first sleeve and the second sleeve each also include a resilient band. The front band of the torso and one of the rear bands of the torso may have a first modulus of elasticity. The second rear band of the torso and the band of the first sleeve may have a second modulus of elasticity. The band of the second sleeve may have a third modulus of elasticity.

Aspects herein provide for a support garment having a vibration damping structure that is positioned between the breast contacting surfaces of the support garment. The vibration damping structure has a shape and/or material characteristics that enable it to substantially fill the space defined by a medial aspect of the wearer's breasts and the wearer's sternum. This positioning and placement facilitate the damping structure's ability to absorb and dissipate impact forces generated at least through the medial-to-lateral movement of the wearer's breasts during, for example, athletic activities.

A half mitten apparatus to safely demonstrate motorist hands during a traffic stop includes a first half-mitten, a second half-mitten, and a flexible connector. The first half-mitten and the second half-mitten each comprises a visually accentuating outer layer, an inner layer, a finger receiving receptacle, and an eyelet. The visually accentuating outer layer is externally connected about the inner layer that delineates the finger receiving receptacle. The eyelet traverses through the visually accentuating outer layer and the inner layer, adjacent to an opened end of the finger receiving receptacle. The eyelet of the first half-mitten and the eyelet of the second half-mitten are tethered into each other by the flexible connector as the flexible connector fastens both the first half-mitten and the second half-mitten within the close proximity of each other.

The present invention relates to a glove designed to stroke the head and/or the hair to create different hair styles and to rub a palm side of the glove on the bald head to enhance skin shine. The glove secures conveniently to the hand and wrist via adjustable hook and loop fastener straps. The invention also features a layer of biodegradable and recyclable plastic, for example, Oriented Polypropylene (OPP) and another aluminum layer deposited on the anterior palm area, anterior fingers area, and anterior thumb area of the glove. The combination of the layers helps in enhancing different hairstyles with ease and the glove can work in conjunction with other products to improve almost any type of hairstyle. The glove can be applied on bald heads, coarse hair, wavy hair, dreadlocks, straight hair, and any other type of desired hairstyle for enhancing shine and waves.

A perspiration resistant absorption patch having a layer of waterproof material and a layer of base fabric. The perspiration resistant absorption patch being attached to an interior underarm portion of the garment, wherein the layer of waterproof material is interposed between the garment and the layer of base fabric. perspiration resistant absorption patch being composed of a material similar to that of the garment in which it is being coupled.

Embodiments of the present invention replace relatively bulky nonwoven thermal insulating materials used in thermal liners with thin, lightweight, flexible films that maintain or improve TPP performance while reducing the thickness, and enhancing the flexibility, of the thermal liner so as to increase wearer comfort. Moreover, the films incorporated into the thermal liners can be both air and vapor permeable such that the TPP performance is not realized at the expense of THL performance. Rather, the THL performance of garments incorporating embodiments of thermal liners contemplated herein is comparable toif not improved overgarments formed with traditional thermal liners.

A connecting textile patch construction toy where a plurality of textile patches lined with holes can be connected to each other by means of a plurality of bobbin-shaped connectors to create textile objects such as wearable garments. Objects created by the invention can be easily disassembled by the user in order to reassemble the patches into new objects over and over.

An aspect of the present invention is a glove including: a glove main body knitted with a yarn made of fiber, the glove main body including: a main body portion; five finger-receiving portions each having a bottomed cylindrical shape; and a cylindrical cuff portion, wherein in at least a part of a palm part, the main body portion has a repeating structure of: a strip-shaped electrically conductive part containing an electrically conductive yarn; and a strip-shaped electrically non-conductive part not containing the electrically conductive yarn, a ratio of the number of courses of the electrically conductive part to the number of courses of the electrically non-conductive part, the electrically conductive part and the electrically non-conductive part being adjacent to each other, is no less than 1:2 and no greater than 1:6, the electrically conductive part is constituted by plating knitting of the electrically conductive yarn and an electrically non-conductive plating yarn, a fineness ratio of the electrically conductive yarn to the plating yarn is no less than 1:0.5 and no greater than 1:2, and a fineness ratio of an electrically non-conductive yarn, which constitutes the electrically non-conductive part, to the electrically conductive yarn contained in the electrically conductive part is no less than 1:0.4 and no greater than 1:1.
