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.

According to the various features, characteristics and embodiments of the present invention which will become apparent as the description thereof proceeds, the present invention provides reusable grip enhancing tubular members for the arm area, in particular sports sleeves for the arm and forearm, and reusable grip enhancing tubular members for the hand, in particular sports finger cots for the hand, and the uses thereof, and methods thereof, intended to increase the performance in arm and/or hand task activities.

A garment (10) comprising a grip coating located on inner and outer surfaces of a garment section (12) so as to generate in use friction between a wearer's skin and the garment (10) and friction between the garment (10) and an external contact surface. The grip coating includes a first array of grip elements (14) located on the inner surface of the garment section (12) and a second array of grip elements (16) located on the outer surface of the garment section (12). The first and second arrays are arranged relative to each other so that the grip elements (14,16) of the first and second arrays are offset relative to each other and do not overlie or overlap each other.

A combined seat cover and leisure coat includes a coat body that includes front and back panels and covers and protects an upper body and a part of a lower body of a wearer or covers a seat pad and a back support of a seat, a hood that covers and protects the wearer's head or is mounted on a headrest of the seat, a folding part that is provided on a lower portion of the back panel of the coat body so as to be foldable and covers one area of the seat pad of the seat, a pair of sleeves that cover and protect the wearer's arms or are bound to the back support of the seat, and fastening units that are provided on the pair of sleeves and fasten the pair of sleeves bound to the back support of the seat.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bottom wear capable of suppressing a situation in which an underwear worn by a wearer is slid in a wearer's stature direction with respect to the wearer's waist portion. The means for achieving the purpose is a bottom wear including a waist-encircling section, wherein a cylindrical part including a cloth of bottom wear and a planar material different from the cloth, or a cylindrical part including a planar material different from the cloth of bottom wear is present at a back portion of the waist-encircling section and inside the bottom wear, the cylindrical part is disposed in such a manner that the axis direction of the cylindrical part is substantially parallel to the waist-encircling direction of the waist-encircling section, the static friction coefficient of the inner surface of a rear portion of the cylindrical part is 0.2 or more and 1.0 or less, and the stress of a front portion of the cylindrical part at 10% elongation in the transverse direction of the cylindrical part is 10 N/25 mm or less.

Footwear, sports equipment, weapons, gloves, vehicle controls, floor surfaces, and vehicle tires three dimensionally imprinted with friction ridge patterns derived from individuals.

A utility glove formed of a glove blank of a fabric material in the shape of at least a portion of a hand having one or more areas of elastomeric material injection molded thereon to form one or more three dimensional molded portions, the three dimensional molded portions being the fabric material with the elastomeric material bonded thereto, wherein one or more three dimensional molded portions leave at least one area of fabric material of the glove blank without elastomeric material bonded to the fabric. The fabric material of the glove blank can be made from one or more fabrics, a treated fabric, a coated fabric or combinations thereof, or the fabric may have a portion with a coating on an area without elastomeric material.

A glove with an enhanced gripping textured surface is disclosed herein. In preferred embodiments, the glove contains a palm region adapted to cover the palm of a person's hand, a thumb region extending outwardly from the palm region, an index finger region disposed adjacent the thumb region, a middle finger region adjacent the index finger region, a ring finger region adjacent the middle finger region, and a little finger region adjacent the ring finger region with each region containing a textured surface. In preferred embodiments, the textured surface is formed by a plurality of dimensionally hierarchical structures superimposed in layers. The textured surface of the invention, when in contact with wet tissue, repels water at a first texture layer and traps tissue at a second texture layer, such that when in tissue contact, especially exudative tissue, tissue fixatively localizes to the glove surface.
