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.

Cleansing devices in the form of ergonomic scrub gloves for cleansing various surfaces including large animals and associated animal contact surfaces. The gloves include an inner layer, which is generally waterproof, with an outer layer comprising an abrasive weave.

A layered, laminated glove includes an outer layer, a membrane formed from a liquid-resistant, air permeable material positioned on an inner surface of the outer layer and a liner formed from a moisture absorbing material. The liner is positioned on an inner surface of the membrane. The outer layer, membrane and liner are laminated to form a single glove. The glove includes a plurality of fingertip portions in which the outer layer, membrane and liner are substantially fully laminated throughout. The glove may include a 3D pattern formed in one or more layers of the laminate. The glove may include an enlarged knuckle section. A hand mold and system for making the gloves and a method are also disclosed.

A chemical resistant composite glove that includes a first polymeric layer in the shape of a glove; and a second polymeric layer disposed on the first polymeric layer, and wherein the first polymeric layer is specified for one class of chemical resistance and the second polymeric layer is specified for a second class of chemical resistance, and optionally a third polymeric layer, which may be a thin coating, disposed on at least one of first polymeric layer or the second polymeric layer and is optionally specified for a third class of chemical resistance.

An object of the present invention is to provide a glove which, while having a cuff, can be easily donned and removed using just one hand. The glove of the present invention includes: a glove main body including a main body portion; 5 finger-receiving portions each having a bottomed cylindrical shape; and a hem portion having a cylindrical shape; and a cuff which is joined to the hem portion of the glove main body, wherein the main body portion is formed in a pouch-like shape to cover a palm and a dorsal side of a wearer's hand, the 5 finger-receiving portions extend from the main body portion to cover each of a first finger to a fifth finger of the wearer, the hem portion extends in a direction opposite to the 5 finger-receiving portions, the cuff is arranged to protrude from the hem portion in a direction opposite to the 5 finger-receiving portions, a projection image of the cuff as viewed from a palm side thereof is a figure symmetrical with respect to a straight line and symmetrical with respect to an axis parallel to a direction of the protruding, the projection increasing in width as it becomes distant from the hem portion, and a flexural rigidity of the cuff is greater than a flexural rigidity of the hem portion of the glove main body, and a difference between the flexural rigidities is no less than 1.0 gf.Math.cm.sup.2/cm.

A method for manufacturing a water vapor permeable glove or a glove lining. The method includes steps: (A) preparing a functional layer assembly in the shape of a hand having a hand insertion opening and having a flat configuration, the flat functional layer assembly being stretchable in at least one direction, (B) subjecting the flat functional layer assembly to a stretching force and thereby transforming the flat configuration into a three-dimensional structure under the influence of the stretching force, (C) applying heat to the functional layer assembly while the functional layer assembly is subject to the stretching force, thereby relaxing the functional layer assembly and transforming the three-dimensional structure of the functional layer assembly into a stable three-dimensional structure, and (D) removing the stretching force from the functional layer assembly.

A disclosed method for manufacturing a glove includes forming a base via molding, the base being shaped to include a palm portion and one or more extremity portions. The method also includes forming a top skin via molding, the top skin including one or more compartments, and forming a backhand assembly by attaching one or more edges of the one or more compartments of the top skin to the base. At least one remaining edge of each of the one or more compartments is unattached from the base. The method also includes reversing an orientation of the backhand assembly, filling each of the one or more compartments of the top skin with foam, and attaching the at least one remaining edge of each of the one or more compartments to the base.

A layered, laminated glove includes an outer layer, a membrane formed from a liquid-resistant, air permeable material positioned on an inner surface of the outer layer and a liner formed from a moisture absorbing material. The liner is positioned on an inner surface of the membrane. The outer layer, membrane and liner are laminated to form a single glove. The glove includes a plurality of fingertip portions in which the outer layer, membrane and liner are substantially fully laminated throughout. The glove may include a 3D pattern formed in one or more layers of the laminate. The glove may include an enlarged knuckle section. A hand mold and system for making the gloves and a method are also disclosed.

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.
