A smart glove includes a glove for housing and triggering electronic modules having a sensor; a triggering member for triggering the electronic modules; and a slide provided on the glove for partially or completely enclosing the electronic modules. The slide is made of a flexible material and comprises a base; two side walls extending from two side portions of the base; two channels extending starting from a first end of the base towards a second end of the base; a protrusion connected to the base from a connection end of the protrusion and extending between a channel; a lock end located at an end of the protrusion not connected to the base and extending from the protrusion perpendicularly or in an angled manner; a slot provided on an opposite end of the base without the lock end, comprising a hollow and extending from the base towards a roof.

The present invention relates to textile articles and clothing such as outdoor garments, indoor garments, and commercial protective wear exposed to contact mixtures of water and oil, swimwear and winter wear exposed to mixtures of water and air. At least part of these textile articles possess a surface provided with at least one of 1) a high surface area, 2) hierarchical pattern, 3) contact angles such that hydrophilic portion of a contact mixture possesses a high contact angle and the hydrophobic portion of a contact mixture possesses a low contact angle, and 4) hysteresis angle greater than 5 degrees. Hydrophobic/Hydrophilic contact mixtures of the present invention can be surfaces where water and or ice are present in combination with oil and or air. The textile articles of the present invention resist slippage on surfaces possessing hydrophobic/hydrophilic contact mixtures.

A lawn mower or stand-on powered drivable machine has an electrical port that receives current from an alternator powered by the engine or motor. The port receives a plug from a garment worn by the lawn mower operator. The garment includes one or more thermo-electric elements that are powered from current extending through the port. The thermo-electric (TEC) elements may be resistive heaters to warm the operator or TEC coolers to cool the operator. Furthermore, the garment may include a rechargeable battery that powers the thermo-electric elements when the plug is disconnected from the port.

The glove with clip is a clip on the outside of the back of a glove having a spring loaded raised lip urged against the glove or a spring base on the glove to removably hold papers, notes, instructions or lightweight material such as sand paper. The clip may be a flat metal clip having a spring base on the glove, a spring wire attached to the glove or a magnetic closure adapted to releasably hold papers or similar material used by a worker such as a plumber or electrician.

A thermal camouflage garment containing at least two zones, each zone containing a thermal camouflage fabric. The camouflage fabrics each contain a printed layer. In at least 90% of the wavelengths between 400-700 nm at least one of the first, second, and third color deltas are less than about 10 percentage points, and wherein at 1 μm and 2 μm and the average over 3-5 μm, average over 8-12 μm the first, at least one of the first, second, and third color deltas are greater than about 15 percentage points. The first zone makes up at least about 10% of the outer surface area of the thermal camouflage garment and the second zone makes up at least about 10% of the outer surface area of the thermal camouflage garment.

A garment, particularly a garment useful in a medical setting, comprising a gown that provides an acceptable barrier between a wearer and certain contaminants as well as easy doffing, the gown having a neck opening, two sleeves, a body portion including a front body portion and a back body portion, one or more panels, and/or one or more doffing features.

A training glove and a method for teaching proper hand, wrist, and finger orientations to efficiently perform a sugaring process for hair removal. A glove assists the technician in maintaining the proper finger positions for the application and removal of a sugar paste. In one example a glove has openings for the thumb and forefinger, and insert guides for bent finger positioning of the little finger, a ring finger, and a middle finger. In other examples, individual finger inserts are provided on the palm side of the fingers. In other examples, a single insert form is provided to position all three fingers—the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger. The finger inserts position the fingers so that the outside tips of the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger are properly aligned to apply an appropriate pressure to the skin in a sugaring application.

A bomb disposal suit includes a jacket, trousers, and a back protector connected between the jacket and the trousers. The back protector includes a body of impact resistant material having a plenum with an intake opening to receive forced air and with outlet openings to direct forced air out of the plenum. A fan forces air into the intake opening. The back protector can transmit load vertically from the jacket to the trousers, for example, via a back plate.

A garment arrangement includes a garment having an elongated garment portion provided with at least one garment connection portion, and an attachment means configured to be releasably connected to said garment connection portion. The attachment means is configured to be movable along the extension of said elongated garment portion. A method is also provided.
