The protection cap is a silicone cap that has Velcro pieces on the inside to allow for attachment on a sliding mitt. Once attached, it helps protect the hand and fingers further when sliding.

A fluid directing grooming glove apparatus for vacuuming and washing pets includes a glove body having a glove opening configured to receive a user's hand. A fluid diverter is coupled to the glove body and has a hose aperture and a plurality of tube apertures. Each tube aperture is in fluid communication with the hose aperture. A plurality of finger tubes is coupled to the glove body and attached to, and in fluid communication with, the tube apertures of the fluid diverter. A feed hose is coupled to the fluid diverter. The feed hose has a hose distal end attached to, and in fluid communication with, the hose aperture and a hose connector coupled to a hose proximal end. The hose connector attaches to a vacuum hose or a water hose to either suck air or spray water through the finger tubes.

A hydration device wherein a customized bladder is secured in a fixed position within a customized glove covering the topside surface area of a hand and the full 360-degree surface area of a forearm. A chamber stitched into an internal surface of the glove and a reclosable fastener secure the bladder's fixed position. The bladder is constructed with additional material on its sides, so that it conforms to the shape of and distributes the weight of its contents 360 degrees along the contours of the appendages. Two holes stitched into the outer portion of the glove expose the bladder's reclosable aperture for filling and a spout for extracting the bladder's contents. The bladder's contoured, 360-degree design impels the hydration device to lay fitted along the appendages with the spout purposefully positioned in a mouth's path during a normal arm swing, thereby promoting the user to maintain unaltered motion while drinking.

A load-assisting glove is an apparatus that assists users with the load from a handheld tool such as a shovel. The apparatus may include a work glove and a bracing socket. The work glove maintains the bracing socket at an ergonomic position adjacent to the user's arm. The bracing socket lessens the amount of grip needed to work with the handheld tool. The work glove includes a wrist opening, a palmar portion, and a dorsal portion. The wrist opening enables the user to put on the work glove. The palmar portion protects the palmar area of the hand, while the dorsal portion protects the dorsal area. The bracing socket includes an open socket end and a closed socket end. The open socket end enables the end of the tool handle to be inserted into the bracing socket, while the closed socket end keeps the handle end within the bracing socket.

A glove and related methods are disclosed. The glove has a distal portion having a first sheath shaped and configured for receiving the thumb, a second sheath shaped and configured for receiving the index finger, and a third sheath shaped and configured for receiving the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger. Alternatively, the glove has a distal portion having a first sheath shaped and configured for receiving at least one of the thumb, the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger, or the little finger, wherein the first sheath is formed by stitching a first leather fabric, a second leather fabric, and a finger reinforcement together in a wrong side out configuration followed by turning the first sheath right side out, whereby the finger reinforcement is positioned on an interior portion of the first sheath.

A retractable and wearable hand cover is disclosed. The hand cover is worn while handing objects and surfaces that are suspected of being contaminated. To encourage the hand cover's use and to avoid unintentional contact with the hand cover's potentially contaminated outer surface, the hand cover is biased towards an open configuration to enable easy one-handed donning and removal. The hand cover is coupled to a tether retractably wound on a spring biased reel assembly that is clipped to a piece of clothing preferably on or near the waistband area. This facilitates very targeted and temporary yet repetitious use when interacting with objects and various surfaces, as opposed to a disposable glove that is designed to fit tightly around the hand and is usually worn for extended periods of time because it must be immediately thrown away upon removal.

A support for supporting a hand has supporting strips including a first support strip and a second support strip and a mounting device connected to the first supporting strip and the second supporting strip. The mounting device is configured to be worn on a user's hand or connected to the user's hand to hold the first support strip and the second support strip in a mounted position relative to the user's hand. In the mounted position, the first support strip extends along an outer side of a palm and along a palmer side of a little finger of the user's hand and the second support strip extends from a central area of a thumb a central area of an index finger of the user's hand.

A heated fishing rod guide apparatus is provided to enable fishing in freezing conditions. A circuit strip overlay is positionable upon a fishing rod to situate a plurality of heating elements in heating contact with each of the plurality of guides disposed upon the fishing rod blank. Electrical energy supplied to each guide therefore resistively heats said guides to prevent the fishing line from freezing thereto to prevent snapping of the line as often otherwise occurs. At least one connector is disposed upon the handle of the fishing rod disposed in circuit with the circuit strip overlay. The at least one connector may be adapted for connection with at least one contact disposed upon a cold weather glove, to enable heating of the rod when held in hand, and, alternately, with an attachable contact to enable hands-free heating.

A scraper glove is provided and includes a glove body including one or more finger sleeves; and one or more scraper elements. Each of the scraper elements includes a receptacle portion positioned within a respective one of the finger sleeves to accept one or more fingers of a user, and a scraping portion with one or more scraping edges extending from a tip of a corresponding finger sleeve and integrally connected to the corresponding receptacle portion, wherein the scraping portion is configured to scrape a plant-based medium.

A hand and animal leash cover that includes a reversibly attachable, flexible, shape-retaining shell configured to surround an individual's hand while holding a leash retracting device. The shell includes a first opening for a human hand, dimensioned so that a user can grip the handle of a retractable leash and operate its features, such as a leash lock, a toggle leash-locking feature, etc. The shell has a second end opening with a diameter slightly larger than the width of the housing of the leash retracting device, and that extends preferably only to the aperture through which the leash enters the housing. The shell is at least semi-rigid so that it maintains its shape and does not collapse upon itself when a human hand is not inserted therein. No straps, elastic bands or other types of closure members are employed to close off the first opening, as the shell extends to cover a user's wrist and to contact the sleeve of a coat worn by the user so as to reduce heat loss. The shell facilitates easy engagement and disengagement of a person's hand when grasping the retractable leash device when the leash cover is in place.
