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.

A glove having a dorsal portion, the dorsal portion including a first material divided into first and second sections, a fastening device for selectively attaching and detaching the first and second sections of the dorsal portion, and a fastening device gripping feature attached to the fastening device, the glove also having a palmar portion, the palmar portion including at least a section comprising a second material, and a wrist portion attached to the dorsal portion and the palmar portion, wherein the wrist portion is selectively movable between an open and a closed position about a wearer's wrist and includes a wrist opening gripping feature.

A protective hand covering has a flexible shell with an open end and a closed end, and a constricted region between the open and closed ends. The constricted region defines a passage for receiving the child's hand. The hand covering may be worn by an infant or small child during sleeping or other activities, A gripping material is disposed on an inside surface of the shell at the constricted region and around the passage. The gripping material has a coefficient of friction higher than a coefficient of friction of the material of the flexible shell, such that the hand covering is discouraged from coming off of the child's hand.

A hygienic protective cover for public surfaces includes a thin flexible panel of spring metal, coated with a layer of silicone. The spring metal can be a bi-stable ribbon spring. The spring metal composition of the flexible panel is configured to transfer between a straight, semi-rigid form and a curved form adapted to wrap around an exterior surface of a public handle, when forcibly applied to the public handle. A silicone layer encapsulates the panel to minimize transfer of germs. A protruding grip on the outer side of the panel enables the user to grip and manipulate the panel when wrapped around the public handle. The device is sized and dimensioned to be easily carried on a public transportation vehicle, such that a user can wrap the device around a section of the public handle to help prevent direct contact with the exterior surface thereof.

An embossment (100) on a sheet of film and a glove produced from the embossed sheet of film is disclosed. The embossment (100) comprises a base surface (103); a raised surface (102) opposite to the base surface (103); and at least one recessed area (104) formed therein and extending from the base surface (103) and the raised surface (102) to the base surface (103), wherein depth (D.sub.r) of the recessed area (104) is between 50% to 99% relative to height (H.sub.e) of the embossment (100) between the base surface (103) and the raised surface (102).

A method for producing a knitted fabric part which is knitted from at least one thread and which in one or a plurality of regions on the knitted fabric external side and/or the knitted fabric internal side is equipped with a coating, wherein, for configuring the coating, a material comprising free-flowing particles is applied in the region to the knitted fabric, said material subsequently being melted or fused by heating, whereupon the material is cooled while forming the coating.

An anti-slip structure comprises a base sheet and a plurality of anti-slip units disposed on the base sheet at intervals in a matrix manner. Each of the anti-slip units has a central axis and comprises a top surface, a bottom surface, two side surfaces and front and back surfaces. The top surface is a planer surface having a substantial square shape that is centered on the central axis. The bottom surface is opposite to the top surface and also centered on the central axis. The two side surfaces respectively extend obliquely from two opposite side edges of the top surface outwardly toward two opposite side edges of the bottom surface, and are symmetrical to each other with respect to the central axis. The front and back surfaces respectively extend between the top and bottom surfaces and the two side surfaces.

The present invention presents a wheelchair racing glove. The glove includes a main body having a top surface with a gripping structure, padded segments, fastener, and nesting cavity; and a bottom surface having a force transfer member and frictional support member. The gripping structure is formed with ergonomic features that fit a user's hand, which is held in the glove by the fastener. The padded segments reduce vibrational forces acting on the user's hand, and the nesting cavity provides a protective cover and additional grip for a user's thumb. The nesting cavity may also have ventilation holes to promote airflow to a user's thumb. The force transfer member and frictional support member both function to reduce impact forces as well as promote force transfer efficiency between a user's hand and a wheelchair wheel. A patterned internal support system further provides structural integrity, weight reduction, force absorption, and efficient force transfer.

A glove with an enhanced gripping textured surface is disclosed herein. In preferred embodiments, the glove contains a palm region adapted to cover the palm of a person's hand, a thumb region extending outwardly from the palm region, an index finger region disposed adjacent the thumb region, a middle finger region adjacent the index finger region, a ring finger region adjacent the middle finger region, and a little finger region adjacent the ring finger region with each region containing a textured surface. In preferred embodiments, the textured surface is formed by a plurality of dimensionally hierarchical structures superimposed in layers. The textured surface of the invention, when in contact with wet tissue, repels water at a first texture layer and traps tissue at a second texture layer, such that when in tissue contact, especially exudative tissue, tissue fixatively localizes to the glove surface.

The present disclosure generally relates to a glove and, more particularly, to a conformal glove which retains tactile sensitivity and increases overall handgrip of the user, in addition to maintaining manual dexterity and maximizing air ventilation.
