A hybrid mitten-glove with a thumb sheath, index finger sheath and a four-finger sheath, in combination with an outer enclosing mitten, the invention being operable to keep all fingers covered, hence warm and dry, during use while providing finger dexterity to perform tasks.

The invention is a contactless hand covering for preventing exposure to health risks. The hand covering has a finger cup having a finger cup side wall that encircles four fingers of a hand. The hand covering also includes a finger cup aperture having an opening that received the four fingers of the hand. Also included is a thumb cup that receives a thumb of the hand, and a dispenser having an enclosure that stores and dispenses a plurality of the hand coverings;

A finger warming apparatus that is configured to receive four human fingers therein wherein the present invention is configured to be inserted into a pocket or mitten and have fingers journaled thereinto. The finger warming apparatus includes a body wherein the body is formed utilizing a lower wall and an upper wall. The lower wall and upper wall are joined along an outer perimeter edge so as to form a cavity being of suitable size to accommodate four human fingers therein. The body includes an opening providing access to the cavity. The body is formed such that the lower wall has a length that is less than that of the length of an upper wall so as to provide a desired fit and inhibit interference from the palm of the user. The body is manufactured from cloth and includes heating elements disposed in the upper wall and lower wall.

The material for the antibacterial glove would have fibers such as polyester, cotton, silk, wool, or other similar materials, or biodegradable substances such as renewable wood sources, to form an interlocking matrix of loops, or such other means as would create a product that would absorb and maintain the antibacterial solution on it. The fabric/material is intended to not disintegrate when the antibacterial solution is applied to it. Four examples of antibacterial solutions are listed in the Detailed Description of Invention above. These examples are not intended to be exclusive options for possible canitizing formulas.

The first glove option uses the fabric capable of absorbing the antibacterial solution on both sides of the glove/mitten, ie. for the entire glove/mitten.

The second glove option uses as a base for the glove the materials used in disposable gloves such as ones made from vinyl, nitrile, latex, or polyethylene. The antibacterial-absorbing fabric is attached only to the palm side of the disposable glove. The third glove option uses wax/parchment, or any similar type paper, for the top side of the glove/mitten. The antibacterial-absorbing fabric is attached only to the palm side of the glove/mitten.

The aspect that is new in this invention is the application of the antibacterial solution in an absorbent and non-disintegrating fabric as the component of an entire glove/mitten (Option 1); applied to the palm side of a vinyl, nitrile, latex, or polyethylene type glove/mitten (Option 2); or applied to the palm side of a glove with wax/parchment type paper used for the top side of the glove/mitten (Option 3).

The gloves/mittens can be packaged with the antibacterial solution pre-applied to the gloves/mittens. The gloves/mittens can also come with a separate container with the sanitizing solution, so that the gloves/mittens may be packaged in the “dry” form. The user would then have the option of applying the antibacterial solution (or additional solution) to the glove/mitten at any time.

A half mitten apparatus to safely demonstrate motorist hands during a traffic stop includes a first half-mitten, a second half-mitten, and a flexible connector. The first half-mitten and the second half-mitten each comprises a visually accentuating outer layer, an inner layer, a finger receiving receptacle, and an eyelet. The visually accentuating outer layer is externally connected about the inner layer that delineates the finger receiving receptacle. The eyelet traverses through the visually accentuating outer layer and the inner layer, adjacent to an opened end of the finger receiving receptacle. The eyelet of the first half-mitten and the eyelet of the second half-mitten are tethered into each other by the flexible connector as the flexible connector fastens both the first half-mitten and the second half-mitten within the close proximity of each other.

A system and method of selectively connecting at least two articles of clothing is provided. First and second articles, which may comprise a glove and jacket sleeve or cuff, have mating geometries and at least one fastener to securely and selectively connect the two articles. In certain embodiments, magnets are provided as fasteners to connect the articles. For example, in certain embodiments, a method and system is provided that comprises features adapted to allow connection of an accessory (e.g. ski glove) to a portion of another article (e.g. jacket).
