A glove for taming flyaway hairs comprising an upper surface, a palm surface, and a wrist opening, the upper surface and the palm surface connected along a portion of their respective edges such that a cavity for receiving a wearer's hand exists between the surfaces, said wearer's hand entering the cavity through the wrist opening. The wrist opening formed by a portion of the edges of the upper surface and the palm surface that are not connected.

A latex composition containing a conjugated diene polymer latex and a medium-chain fatty acid glyceride, wherein a content proportion of the medium-chain fatty acid glyceride is 1 to 40 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the conjugated diene polymer. In the present invention, a medium-chain fatty acid forming the medium-chain fatty acid glyceride is preferably a fatty acid having 6 to 18 carbon atoms. In the present invention, the medium-chain fatty acid glyceride is preferably a medium-chain fatty acid triglyceride. The latex composition preferably further contains a crosslinking agent.

A compressible material is provided for use with athletic equipment and apparel for enhancing the effects of physical exercise for a person. The material can include one or more compression members that extend from shoes, insoles for shoes, exercise gloves, wraps for exercise equipment, exercise mat or floor covering, headbands, socks, exercise garments, free weights and sports helmets. The compression members can be made of one or more of rubber, thermoplastic rubber, foam rubber, polyurethane rubber, silicone rubber, thermoplastic resin and thermoplastic elastomer. Positioning the compressible material such that it is between the user and any surface for example when exercising, requires the person to maintain balance while performing the exercise by using other muscles that would not ordinarily be used during the exercise, and provides proprioceptive feedback to the person's central nervous system.

Provided is a method for preparing a latex composition for dip forming, the method including: (a) preparing a monomer mixture including a conjugated diene-based monomer, an ethylenically unsaturated nitrile monomer and an ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer; (b) introducing starch, an emulsifier and an inorganic solvent into the monomer mixture; and (c) preparing a copolymer latex by introducing a polymerization initiator, wherein the copolymer includes the starch in a main chain thereof.

Disclosed are compositions and methods of enhancing the application of subsequent treatment on an elastomeric skin protection article and articles thereof. Embodiments disclose processes, including creating microscale voids and cracks, adding a surface activator, and rearranging or altering the inside surface of a glove. Subsequent treatment of a material, such as soothing agents, pH controlling substances, herbal oils and powders can coat the inside surface of a glove in a smaller quantity and last longer when added after the glove's inside surface has undergone the enhancing method.

A seam sealed heat resistant glove or mitt includes a front portion having a periphery and a rear portion having a periphery. The front and rear portions are joined to one another along a portion of their respective peripheries to define seams. The front and rear portions, when joined to one another, define an interior with seams formed at the interior and at an exterior of the glove or mitt with seams formed at the exterior. A welded thermoplastic material is disposed over the seams on at least one of the interior and the exterior of the glove or mitt and is cured by the application of ultrasonic energy. A method of making a seam sealed glove or mitt is disclosed.

The present invention relates to a carboxylic acid-modified nitrile-based copolymer latex, a preparation method for producing the same, a latex composition for dip-molding comprising the same, and a molding product prepared therefrom, more particularly to a carboxylic acid-modified nitrile-based copolymer latex capable of ensuring physical properties equivalent to or better than those using sulfur and vulcanization accelerators or cross-linking agents such as zinc oxide without using them by preparing the latex so that a large amount of anionic compound is present on the surface of the latex particles, a preparation method for producing the same, a latex composition for dip-molding comprising the same, and a molding product prepared therefrom.

Provided is a method of producing a glove, the method including: (1) the step of immersing a glove forming mold in a liquid coagulant containing calcium ions so as to allow the coagulant to adhere to the glove forming mold; (2) the step of adjusting the pH to be 9 or higher using an ammonium compound or an amine compound and leaving a glove emulsion composition to stand with stirring; (3) the dipping step of immersing the glove forming mold, to which the coagulant has thus adhered in the step (1), in the glove emulsion composition; (4) the gelling step of leaving the glove forming mold, to which the glove emulsion composition has thus adhered, to stand at a temperature for a period that satisfy specific conditions; (5) the leaching step of removing impurities from a cured film precursor thus formed on the glove forming mold; (6) the beading step of, after the leaching step, winding the cuff portion of the resulting glove; (7) the precuring step of heating and drying the cured film precursor that has been subjected to the beading step; and (8) the curing step of heating the cured film precursor at a specific temperature for a specific period to obtain a cured film.

Materials and methods for producing materials to enhance tactile perception, and articles produced from or incorporating such a material. The materials include a substrate having first and second surfaces and surface patterns of texture on the surfaces. The surface patterns include sensitivity pegs having first portions that project from the first surface and second portions that project from the second surface. The first and second portions of the sensitivity peg are axially aligned and extend in opposite directions from each other to enhance tactile perception at the second surface.

An object of the present invention is to provide a non-slip glove which is superior in workability owing to ease of grasping an object and enables maintaining an antislip property for a long period of time. The non-slip glove of the present invention includes: a knitted glove main body made of fibers which includes a main body portion formed into a bag shape so as to cover a wearer's palm and dorsal hand, bottomed cylindrical first to fifth finger portions extending from the main body portion so as to cover the wearer's first to fifth fingers, respectively, and a cylindrical cuff portion extending in a direction opposite to the first to fifth finger portions; a coating layer made of a rubber or a resin which is overlaid on a palm part of the knitted glove main body and a palm side of the first to fifth finger portions; and a reinforcing portion made of a rubber or a resin which is interposed between the knitted glove main body and the coating layer, wherein the reinforcing portion is disposed at a position on the palm side, the position corresponding to at least carpometacarpal joints of the third to fifth fingers, a navicular bone, a lunate bone, a hamate bone, and a pisiform bone at a time of wearing.
