A grip assist apparatus that may be worn on either hand that includes a gripping portion that includes an insert designed to prevent lifting bars to come into contact with an area of vulnerability in the center of the palm, which is prone to injury.

A football glove having a silicone palm portion, silicone finger portions that wrap around lateral side portions to the thumb, index finger and little finger, and a silicone back portion that wraps around a lateral side portion of the back to increase the user's hand grip on a football. The silicone portions and non-silicone portions of the glove are connected together along locations on the back side of the glove so as to on the rear portions of the glove to provide a continuous smooth catching surface for the glove user.

A method of manufacturing an enhanced, 3D, hand-shaped glove includes placing a seamless textile glove shell onto a laminating form, placing a solid laminate preform onto the glove shell, and applying pressure at an elevated temperature to laminate the preform to the glove shell. A platen or roller press can apply pressure to a glove shell on a flat surface of a laminating form, or a bladder or vacuum bag press can apply pressure to a glove shell on a curved surface of a laminating form. Edge peel resistance can be enhanced by extending the perimeter of a low modulus upper preform layer beyond underlying layers and bonding it directly to the glove shell. Fingers of the laminating form can be made wide and thin to cause warping of the preform about the glove fingers, or narrow and thick to minimize distortion of the finger shapes due to the preform.

A textured glove with wave pattern embossed on its surface is provided. The glove surface may be partially or wholly embossed with the wave pattern to enhance grip.

A manufacturing method of a silicone-coated glove, comprises: a knitting step (S100) of forming a glove; a water-repellency treatment solution preparation step (S200) of forming a water-repellency treatment solution by diluting a silicone-containing water-repellent agent for fabrics with water; a water-repellency treatment solution dipping step (S300) of dipping the knitted glove in the water-repellency treatment solution; a water-repellent coating formation step (S400) of forming, on a fabric layer (10) of the glove, a water-repellent coating (20) containing silicone by dehydrating the glove dipped in the water-repellency treatment solution and then drying the glove at 80-180 C.; a dipping step (S500) of forming a silicone coating (30) by dipping the glove having the water-repellent coating (20) in a silicone coating solution; and a drying step of hardening the glove having the silicone coating (30).

The elasticized cushioned thermal glove provides heating, cooling, and compression modalities. The constant fluidity of the gel disposed in the gel bladders substantially throughout the glove palm side is in constant fluidity when heated and cooled. The gel is pre-heated via a power module, heatable when in use, and also pre-cooled prior to use. The glove is also provided as a compression glove to alleviate pain, swelling, and to provide for support for those in need. As the glove provides these heating and cooling advantages, fingers can be left in an open state to enhance dexterity as opposed to full-fingered gloves.

An energy absorbing receiving glove constructed with a substrate having an exterior surface and a complementary interior surface. The substrate is used in constructing a palmar portion of the glove. The glove may incorporates a gripping layer of material affixed to the exterior surface of the substrate. Further, the glove may incorporate an energy absorbing layer of material affixed to the interior surface of the substrate. Additionally, the energy absorbing layer of material may have both a first thickness in a first location and a second thickness in a second location of the substrate. In an embodiment, the energy absorbing material is a silicone gel and the gripping material is a silicone material. Additionally, the varied thicknesses of the energy absorbing material may be effective for covering a palmar side of joints located on a hand wearing the glove.

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.

An electrically insulated glove assembly includes a glove having a palm cover, a back hand cover and five finger sleeves. The palm cover and the back hand cover are attached along their respective lateral edges to facility full covering of a person's hand. The glove includes a front side and a back side. Each of the finger sleeves has a lateral edge positioned between each of the front and back sides. An elastomeric layer is positioned on the glove and completely covers the front side of the glove. A portion of the back side of the glove is free of the elastomeric layer. The elastomeric layer is flexible to allow bending of the palm cover and each of the finger sleeves.
