A glove for a person's hand includes an elastomeric base layer that has an inside surface, an outside surface, and includes a palm portion adapted to cover a palm and a back of the person's hand. A thumb portion extends outwardly from the palm portion, and four finger portions extend away from the palm portion adjacent the thumb portion. The outside surface of the glove includes a plurality of raised projections cover 20-85% of the palm portion, thumb portion and finger portions. A base of each projection is a polyhedron with two parallel linear sides and two parallel curved sides. Each projection has an apex proximate a first curved side of the curved sides of the polyhedron. The polyhedrons of the projections are arranged to form a plurality of wavy lines.

A glove including a wrist region; a palm region extending outwardly from the wrist region; a plurality of digit regions extending outwardly from the palm region, wherein each digit region of the plurality of digit regions has a longitudinal axis extending along the digit region from the tip of the digit region to the palm region; an interior cavity bounded and defined by the wrist region, the palm region, and the plurality of digit regions, wherein the interior cavity is accessible via an opening defined by the wrist region. At least one gripping zone is provided on at least one digit region of the plurality of digit regions. The at least one gripping zone is oriented orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of the at least one digit region and extends for less than half of the circumference of the digit region.

A glove including a wrist region; a palm region extending outwardly from the wrist region; a plurality of digit regions extending outwardly from the palm region, wherein each digit region of the plurality of digit regions has a longitudinal axis extending along the digit region from the tip of the digit region to the palm region; an interior cavity bounded and defined by the wrist region, the palm region, and the plurality of digit regions, wherein the interior cavity is accessible via an opening defined by the wrist region. At least one gripping zone is provided on at least one digit region of the plurality of digit regions. The at least one gripping zone is oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the at least one digit region.

A glove including a wrist region; a palm region extending outwardly from the wrist region; a plurality of digit regions extending outwardly from the palm region, wherein each digit region of the plurality of digit regions has a longitudinal axis extending along the digit region from the tip of the digit region to the palm region; an interior cavity bounded and defined by the wrist region, the palm region, and the plurality of digit regions, wherein the interior cavity is accessible via an opening defined by the wrist region. A crotch area is provided between adjacent digit regions. At least one gripping zone is provided on at least one digit region. The gripping zone is oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the at least one digit region. An exterior surface of at least one crotch area and at least one gripping zone is textured, particularly by micro-etching.

The present disclosure relates to a glove with both flock-lined and unlined interior surfaces The glove generally comprises a hand region including a palm portion and a dorsal portion; a thumb region and four individual digit regions projecting away from one end of the hand region; and a cuff region extending outwardly from another end of the hand region opposing to the thumb region and the four individual digit regions. The cuff region terminates to a terminal end defining an opening for insertion of a user hand therein. Preferably, the hand region comprises flock lining on at least the interior surface of the palm portion or one or more selected areas on the interior surface of the palm portion. The cuff region is free from having any flock lining.

An ambidextrous or hand-specific glove including a wrist region, a palm region, and a digit region. The glove may be fabricated of nitrile rubber that is free of or essentially free of zinc, sulfur and accelerators to reduce allergic reactions in populations required to frequently wear protective gloves. A band region that partially or fully encircles a user's finger knuckles may be provided for easier finger bending. Texturing may be provided on glove surfaces that are used to grip articles. The fingertip regions on the front surface of the index and middle finger regions may be un-textured or smooth to enable a user to take a patient's pulse. These fingertip regions may be of reduced or smaller diameter and circumference so as to pull the glove material tightly around the tips of the user's finger and thereby applying pressure thereto so that even a faint pulse in a patient may be detected.

A partial-hand glove includes a first glove portion, a second glove portion, and a base glove portion. The first glove portion is configured to surround a portion of only an index finger of a hand of a user. The outer end of the first glove portion is configured to be spaced from a tip of the index finger. The second glove portion is configured to surround a portion of only a thumb of the hand of the user. The outer end of the second glove portion is configured to be spaced from a tip of the thumb. The base glove portion is connected to the respective inner ends of the first glove portion and the second glove portion. The first glove portion and the base glove portion collectively define an interior side of the glove opposite the second glove portion.

Embodiments are provided for a one-piece clothing garment that is made up of a sleeve comprising a holding band and a cuff, and an attached ambidextrous glove. Further, embodiments disclosed herein relate to a one-piece ambidextrous sleeve with an attached ambidextrous glove, where the sleeve is held onto a wearer's arm by a holding band at the top end of the sleeve, and the bottom end of the sleeve has a sleeve cuff with and a glove attached inside of the sleeve underneath the sleeve cuff at an attachment point. The glove is capable of being worn when the glove is in an un-tucked position. When the glove is not being worn by the wearer, the glove is capable of being tucked under or inside.

An apparatus for donning hygienic gloves comprising a stack of glove sheets, a box and a dispenser. The box contains the stack of glove sheets and the dispenser removably holds the box. Each glove sheet comprises a top and bottom layer sealed together at a hand-shaped seam that defines a glove and a frangibly attached remnant portion, the bottom layer being longer the top layer at a cuff of the glove, the cuff having a hand opening therein. The box has a removable flap, preferably including a hand-shaped portion on a front panel of the box. The dispenser includes an opening preferably including a hand-shaped portion on a front panel of the box. In a preferred embodiment, the hand-shaped seam, hand-shaped flap portion, and hand-shaped dispenser opening are configured to substantially match and align.
