A safety glove for protecting the hand of a worker is provided, configured to protect the hand of the worker while still providing flexibility and dexterity to the user. The glove features a first protective structure or structures secured to a first base layer to protect the distal phalange bone of the worker, and a second protective structure or structures secured to a second base layer to protect the intermediate phalange and proximal phalange bones of the worker. The separation between the base layers provides for enhanced flexibility of the distal phalange, and allows for flexibility when performing tasks that require agility and dexterity.

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 multi-purpose glove includes protective or shock absorbing padding over the pulleys and tendons of the boney prominences of the fingers and thumb between adjacent joints of the boney prominences or phalanxes. The center axis of rotation of the individual joints are provided with expandable material positioned to overlie specific finger and thumb joints thereby defining motion or flexion zones at these joints.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to an enhanced auxetic composite material (EACM) of a base thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and/or a thermoset material combined with an auxetic material, the composite formed with a molding process, where the base material is injected or dripped into or injected, dripped or formed around the auxetic material, the composite material providing higher impact performance than the individual materials. In an illustrative example, combining various energy absorbing materials with auxetic materials may further enhance impact performance. In some examples, TPE material injected into auxetic structures may fill internal voids. In some examples, the auxetic material may be suspended within the TPE material and be encapsulated around the auxetic material form. Auxetic materials may take various forms, for example, sheets, 3-D structures, and particles, each providing unique benefits. Various embodiments included within various personal protection articles may advantageously provide long life and enhance impact resistance.

The present disclosure provides a compressive force finger guard sized to cover at least a portion of the distal phalanx portion of a finger. Illustratively, the compressive force finger guard includes a longitudinally-extending body portion; wherein the longitudinally-extending body portion includes an opening therein sized to receive at least a portion of the fingertip; and a cap tip located on an end of the longitudinally-extending body portion; and wherein the cap tip includes a flange that extends from the longitudinally-extending body portion generally transverse to the longitudinally-extending body portion.

A fitness support and storage accessory has a glove and a sleeve for supporting a user's hand and forearm, respectively, while working out and a plurality of storage compartments for securing everyday items. The glove has a sleeve connector, while the sleeve has a glove connector; the sleeve connector and the glove connector allowing the glove to be removably attached to the sleeve. The plurality of storage compartments is integrated into both the glove and the sleeve, having a card holder, a phone holder, and a pouch. The card holder is integrated into the glove, while the phone holder and the pouch are integrated into the sleeve. Each of the plurality of storage compartments has a compartment closure to secure the items positioned within. The glove has a hand portion that can be configured as a fingerless glove for weightlifting or as a boxing glove.
