The present invention provides an apparatus for producing and putting on gloves capable of producing gloves that fit an individual hand shape and also putting the glove on the hands, and a method for producing and putting on gloves. The apparatus for producing and putting on gloves comprises welding and cutting means which welds and cuts a first elastic film and a second elastic film at a position on the outer side of a contour of a user's hand in a state in which the user's hand is sandwiched between the first elastic film and the second elastic film.

A glove including a plurality pieces of material coupled together along a plurality of seams to form a glove. A majority of the seams of the glove, as measured along their length, are not external seams, and a thumb seam extending along or through a palm of the glove is an external seam.

A glove has a segment secured to an inside surface of one or more finger and/or a thumb. The segment is fully contained within the distal most portions of the one or more finger and/or thumb and does not overlap with any knuckle of the user's finger. The segment doubles the layer of material of the glove in the pad region of the fingertip to improve wear length or wear resistance of the glove.

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.

Please replace the current Abstract with the below language:

A multi-layer material comprises a textile substrate layer, a functional layer arranged on the textile substrate layer, and a coating covering the functional layer and the textile substrate. The multi-layer material further includes a textile cover layer arranged between the functional layer and the coating. An adhesive layer is arranged between the functional layer and the textile cover layer. The textile substrate is woven or knitted from one yarn and the textile cover layer is woven or knitted from an identical yarn.

Articles and insulating systems include a wicking layer, an incompressible insulation layer, and a water scavenging system comprising a superhydrophobic layer in operative communication with one or more water collecting components.

A glove assembled from plurality of flat parts, at least one part being a thumb-crotch part that is configured to span an area from the base of the index finger on the side facing the thumb to the base of the thumb on the side facing the index finger so as to cover the ridged webbing of soft tissue between those fingers.

A glove includes a glove body configured to cover a hand of a wearer, in which the glove body includes an innermost layer including a matrix resin and cellulose particles and forming an inner surface of the glove. At least some of the cellulose particles are at least partially exposed from the inner surface. The innermost layer includes 7 mass parts or more and 45 mass parts or less of the cellulose particles based on 100 mass parts of the matrix resin, and is formed as a non-foamed layer, and the cellulose particles have an average particle size of 10 μm or more and 45 μm or less.

A composite item of footwear and handwear having a main body to accommodate the hand/foot of a wearer of the item, the main body comprising an outer layer, an inner layer and a waterproof and breathable intermediate layer between the outer and inner layers, and an opening through which a foot/hand can be inserted, the opening defined by a cuff arrangement comprising a cuff region that comprises an end region of each of the inner and intermediate layers and a cuff inner portion of the outer layer that extends beyond the said end regions, the cuff arrangement further comprising a waterproof cuff band fixed to one or both of the cuff inner portion and end region of the inner layer to lie over and be fixed to the outside of the outer layer, the location at which the waterproof cuff band is fixed to the outer layer is at a distance from the opening that is greater than the distance between the opening and the location at which the waterproof cuff band is fixed to the cuff inner portion or end region of the inner layer.

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.
