A hand cover including a glove or a mitten intended for use in cold weather conditions. An outer layer is made of silicone and has a thickness of 0.04 inches to 0.06 inches. A lining is made of polyester with a cotton fill and contacts the entire inside surface of the outer layer. The back and the front of the hand cover are spaced apart from each other which forms a hand access opening. A combination of a pair of hand covers and a strap bracelet which is held in loops on the hand covers.

Polymer compositions that include polyisoprene and polychloroprene and methods for manufacturing protective articles from the polymer compositions are disclosed.

A coating fabric and method of manufacturing the same are provided. A coated fabric includes a base coating layer. The base coating layer defines a smooth coating to resist liquid penetration to the fabric. The coated fabric also includes a middle foam coating layer that is deposited on at least a portion of the base coating layer. The middle foam layer defines a middle layer foam density and is configured to absorb at least a portion of liquid. The coated fabric further includes an outer foam coating layer that is deposited on at least a portion of the middle foam coating later. The outer foam layer defines an outer layer foam density and is configured with holes to allow liquid to penetrate to the middle foam layer. The middle layer foam density is less than the outer layer foam density. A corresponding method of manufacturing is also provided.

This invention relates to a PU thin covers with waterproof and moisture permeable function, the hydrophilicity of the PEG structure can diffuse the water molecules from the inside of the PU then covers to the outside of the PU thin covers, and then the water molecules at the outer surface of the PU thin covers will be volatilize to achieve the effect of high moisture permeability. Since the PU thin covers containing PEG structure has no perforations, the external water and air cannot directly penetrate into the inside of the PU thin covers to achieve high waterproof effect. Moreover, the PU materials containing PEG structure can use various special manufacturing methods to make the PU thin covers have the best waterproofness, moisture permeability, structural strength, lightness, low cost, low pollution, high environmental value and various functions can be customized.

A safety glove having a protective member or insert extending around the fingertip of the safety glove is provided. The protective member may be positioned along the outer surface or the inner surface of the glove. Alternatively, the protective member may be integrally formed between two layers of glove material. The protective member terminates distally from an interphalangeal joint line to enable finger flexion in order to grasp an item, such as a slab of meat to be deskinned in a skinning machine. The glove may include a rough outer surface formed from thrice dipping the glove and allowing the glove to cure. Additionally, the glove may have a width near the wrist that is wider than the width near the palm to enable the glove to be rapidly removed (i.e., doffed) in an emergency event of the glove getting caught in a rotating blade on the skinning machine.

A disclosed method for manufacturing a glove includes forming a base via molding, the base being shaped to include a palm portion and one or more extremity portions. The method also includes forming a top skin via molding, the top skin including one or more compartments, and forming a backhand assembly by attaching one or more edges of the one or more compartments of the top skin to the base. At least one remaining edge of each of the one or more compartments is unattached from the base. The method also includes reversing an orientation of the backhand assembly, filling each of the one or more compartments of the top skin with foam, and attaching the at least one remaining edge of each of the one or more compartments to the base.

A fully coated glove having a moisture wicking property is provided, which includes a palm body, a moisture wicking layer, and a shielding layer. Each of the moisture wicking layer and the shielding layer is prepared by using a raw material including waterborne polyurethane or solvent-based polyurethane. The moisture wicking layer is a foam layer with a thickness of 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm; the shielding layer is a non-foam layer with a thickness of 0.03 mm to 0.2 mm. The preparation process includes following steps: molding of the palm body; preparing the moisture wicking layer that is foamed by coating; water washing; drying; preparing the shielding layer that is not foamed by coating; drying; demolding of the finished product; and packaging. Polyurethane is used as the raw material of the coating in the glove provided by the present disclosure, so as to associatedly combine the foam layer and non-foam layer.

Lightweight robust flexible gloves having an 18 gauge knitted liner and a polymeric coating disposed thereon and optionally including knitted reinforcement sections at areas of high stretch and/or movement are provided. Reinforcement sections can be formed by plaiting, using yarns of the same or lighter denier, and/or forming Jacquard or transfer stitches.

A dip-formed article includes a laminate in which a rubber layer is laminated on a fiber base material. The thickness of the rubber layer is 0.2 to 0.8 mm, the rubber constituting the rubber layer penetrates into the fiber base material, the maximum depth to which the rubber has penetrated into the fiber base material is 0.1 to 0.3 mm, and the maximum stress at 50% elongation of the laminate is 20 N or smaller.

A teething glove or mitt comprising a covering for a hand comprising comprises a textured surface in the form of raised bumps distributed on the surface of the glove or mitt.
