A safety glove includes a knitted inner shell, a first coating covering an exterior surface of the knitted inner shell, a plurality of guard members disposed on the first coating, a second coating covering the first coating and the plurality of guard members, and a third coating covering only a portion of the second coating. A method of manufacturing a safety glove includes kitting fibers to form an inner shell, dipping the inner shell into a first material to form a first coating; securing a plurality of guard members on the first coating, dipping the result into a second material to form a second coating, inspecting the second coating, and, if the second coating passes inspection, dipping only a portion of the result into a third material to form a third coating.

A glove is provided and includes a cuff providing an opening to the glove. A back panel defines a first portion of finger sheaths and a thumb sheath and extends along the finger sheaths and the thumb sheath to the cuff. A palm panel is disposed on an opposite side of the glove from the back panel and defines a second portion of the finger sheaths and the thumb sheath. The palm panel is formed from a material having a greater coefficient of friction than a material of the back panel and extends along the finger sheaths and the thumb sheath to the cuff. The palm panel tapers in a direction from the finger sheaths to the cuff. A gusset extends between and is attached to the back panel and the palm panel and is formed from a different material than the back panel and the palm panel.

A garden glove features a body formed from two pieces of material that are sewn together to include a number of finger portions. Webs extend between the finger portions and are delineated from the finger portions by stitching.

A versatile jacket and backpack that combines portability and wearability for maximum flexibility. The jacket can be worn in a variety of configurations, and even stored in the adaptable back pack when not in use. The jacket portion is reversible for stylistic variety and accommodates attachment of the backpack on both the front and back of the jacket.

A garment that includes one or more grip elements is disclosed. The grip elements, as disposed on a garment, may enable enhanced frictional forces between the garment and an object, such as exercise equipment, with which the garment may make contact. The grip elements may be composite structures disposed on one or more surfaces of the garment and may include an elastomeric and/or rubbery material with grit materials, such as sand, alumina, silicon carbide, or the like, embedded therein. The grit material may be at least partially exposed at the surface of the grip elements and may enhance gripping forces when the grip elements are wet, such as with sweat, compared to grip elements formed by only elastomeric materials. Grip elements may be formed on various portions of a garment separately and then those portions may be attached to each other to form the garment with grip elements.

A glove for a person's hand includes an elastomeric base layer that has an inside surface, an outside surface, and includes a palm portion adapted to cover a palm and a back of the person's hand. A thumb portion extends outwardly from the palm portion, and four finger portions extend away from the palm portion adjacent the thumb portion. The outside surface of the glove includes a plurality of raised projections cover 20-85% of the palm portion, thumb portion and finger portions. A base of each projection is a polyhedron with two parallel linear sides and two parallel curved sides. Each projection has an apex proximate a first curved side of the curved sides of the polyhedron. The polyhedrons of the projections are arranged to form a plurality of wavy lines.

An adjustable seal system, seal component for use in the system, and method are provided for forming a sealing interface between a residual limb and a prosthetic socket. The seal component is selectively placed over the outer surface of a suspension liner including a plurality of seal bands, which the seal component may removably and securely engage.

A glove may be structured for multi-layer engagement. The glove may include an object engagement layer, an intermediary support layer and an anatomic engagement layer. The object engagement layer may include an outer distal portion, an outer middle portion, an outer proximal portion, and an outer palm portion. The anatomic engagement layer may include an inner distal portion, an inner middle portion, an inner proximal portion, and an inner palm portion. The support layer may be interposed between the object engagement layer and the anatomic engagement layer.

A method of manufacturing a textured former and a glove made therefrom, wherein the method comprises preparing a hand-shaped ceramic greenware, scanning the hand-shaped ceramic greenware to generate a digital 3D hand-shaped greenware model, modelling a pair of stencil covers with curvy texture line based on the digital 3D hand-shaped greenware model, printing the stencil covers, creating a curvy palm texture on the hand-shaped ceramic greenware with the aid of the stencil covers, firing the hand-shaped ceramic greenware with curvy palm texture in a kiln and dipping the hand-shaped ceramic former with curvy palm texture in an aqueous colloidal dispersion to produce glove with curvy palm texture.

A finger sleeve is disclosed. The finger sleeve includes a tubular element configured to fit on a portion of a proximal phalange of a user's finger. The tubular element defines a length such that a second end of the finger sleeve does not extend over a fingernail of the user's finger. A front section of the tubular element is configured to be positioned over a palm-ward facing portion of the user's finger. A flap is attached at a first end of the finger sleeve. The flap covers at least a portion of a distal part of the user's palm and spans from a first end of the tubular element to a second end of the tubular element.
