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 hand cover including a glove or a mitten intended for use in cold weather conditions. An outer layer is made of silicone and has a thickness of 0.04 inches to 0.06 inches. A lining is made of polyester with a cotton fill and contacts the entire inside surface of the outer layer. The back and the front of the hand cover are spaced apart from each other which forms a hand access opening. A combination of a pair of hand covers and a strap bracelet which is held in loops on the hand covers.

The present invention relates to a fastening strap 45; 180; 211; 250 for fastening to a loop 35, 40 of protective clothing 10, 50 formed of a metal-ring mesh 26 as well as to such protective clothing 10; 50, the fastening strap 45; 180; 211; 250 comprising at least one engagement element 70; 185 as well as a recess 90; 205 correspondently configured with regard to the engagement element 70; 185, the engagement element 70; 185 and the recess 90; 205 engaging with each other and forming a loop section 155 which is configured to grip the loop 35, 40 of the protective clothing 10; 50 and to fix the fastening strap 45; 180; 211; 250 to the loop 35, 40 of the protective clothing 10; 50.

A glove is disclosed having a donning assister to enable a wearer of the glove to quickly and easily don a glove on a wearer's hand. In one embodiment, the glove includes a wrist cuff portion, a hem portion positioned at a base of the wrist cuff portion, an at least partially enclosed space formed within the hem portion, and a gripper positioned in the at least partially enclosed space. The at least partially enclosed space is defined by hem stitches and by a pair of laterally opposed stitches positioned on the palm side of the glove anywhere along a circumference of the hem portion between a thumb of the glove on one end and a pinky finger of the glove on the other end.

An aspect of the present invention is a glove including: a glove main body knitted with a yarn made of fiber, the glove main body including: a main body portion; five finger-receiving portions each having a bottomed cylindrical shape; and a cylindrical cuff portion, wherein in at least a part of a palm part, the main body portion has a repeating structure of: a strip-shaped electrically conductive part containing an electrically conductive yarn; and a strip-shaped electrically non-conductive part not containing the electrically conductive yarn, a ratio of the number of courses of the electrically conductive part to the number of courses of the electrically non-conductive part, the electrically conductive part and the electrically non-conductive part being adjacent to each other, is no less than 1:2 and no greater than 1:6, the electrically conductive part is constituted by plating knitting of the electrically conductive yarn and an electrically non-conductive plating yarn, a fineness ratio of the electrically conductive yarn to the plating yarn is no less than 1:0.5 and no greater than 1:2, and a fineness ratio of an electrically non-conductive yarn, which constitutes the electrically non-conductive part, to the electrically conductive yarn contained in the electrically conductive part is no less than 1:0.4 and no greater than 1:1.

An athletic glove includes a hand portion and a cuff portion. The hand portion includes a palm area and a plurality of digits. The palmar face of the glove further includes a grip enhancing surface disposed on one or more digits and/or the palm portion. The grip enhancing layer is positioned below the wrist and/or within the lower portion of the forearm to provide an extended contact surface to the wearer during gameplay.

A glove's color beading ring comprises a glove body, the glove is provided with one or more colored ring marks at the cuff lip, and the colored ring mark employing different colors, linetypes, patterns, thickness lines as an identification manner to determine the use area of the glove allows the staff members to readily interpret the difference of the glove so as to wear a suitable pair of gloves in working.

The present application provides low thickness synthetic elastomeric gloves, comprising (a) a thickness at the palm of less than 0.050 mm; (h) a modulus at 500% above 6.5 MPa; and/or (c) an elongation at break below 700%. Also provided is a method for the manufacture of such gloves involving dipping a glove-shaped former into an elastomeric film-forming composition; and curing the elastomeric film-forming composition on the former so as to produce the synthetic elastomeric glove. Corresponding low thickness finger cots are also described, as are formers suitable for the preparation of such gloves.

An example glove includes a first enclosure configured to receive a user's hand and a second enclosure configured to retain a mobile electronic device, wherein the second enclosure is affixed to the first enclosure. The second enclosure may be disposed on a back portion of the glove, or on a palm portion of the glove. An example system includes a glove comprising an enclosure for receiving a hand of a user, an accelerometer, and a transmitter configured to transmit data generated by the accelerometer. The glove may further include one or more additional sensors, such as a heart rate sensor or a pressure sensor. The glove may further include a processor configured to collect data from the sensors and to perform analyses useful for fitness tracking, such as determining a heart rate of the user, a distance traveled by the user, or a rate of travel of the user.

An armored protective sport glove for use in historical-type armed combat having an underlying durable flexible glove with extending cuff having rivets and washers. A contoured armored backplate with padded underlayment is attached to the underlying glove, the backplate connecting with underlying material strips which over and along the back of the fingers and thumb providing connections for overlapping finger and thumb plates which flare at the knuckles and wrap exposed portions of the hand and thumb. The contoured overlapping plates and underlying material connection strips connected with one another and to the underlying glove at specific positions allowing for increased mobility and ease of replacement of worn or broken materials. Fingertip protection is increased by use of soft durable connection means decreasing the risk of smashed or pinched fingertips. Pivot points at the wrist increase mobility at the wrist and thumb.
