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.

Electronic assistive gloves for covering artificial prosthetic or robotic hands. The glove includes a base layer formed to fit on the artificial hand, a plurality of sensors carried by the base layer, and an encapsulation layer covering the base layer and formed of a material that mimics human skin.

A thermoplastic elastomeric formulation comprises (i) a water based thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), (ii) a surfactant, (iii) an antioxidant, (iv) a antifoaming agent and (v) a crosslinking agent. The water based TPE is styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) copolymer latex. A glove that is produced using the thermoplastic elastomeric formulation of the present invention is known as water based TPE gloves, such as water based TPE medical exam gloves, water based TPE household gloves and water based TPE industrial gloves in particular water based TPE surgical gloves.

A fixture, system, and method for coating a glove with a coating material are described. A fixture includes a support member and a clamping member movable relative to the support member to a closed position. The clamping member is configured to be at least partially received in a cuff of the glove. In the closed position, the cuff is captured between the clamping member and the support member. In this configuration, a majority of an external surface of the glove is exposed for being coated. A glove-coating system can include one or more fixtures on a conveyor that move the fixture around various processing stages of the glove-coating system. In certain methods of coating a glove, coating material is applied to the glove while the glove is suspended from the fixture. The coated glove can be removed from the fixture without being everted.

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.

A glove that is less prone to slip on the hand, and/or that provides for better tactile sensation, and/or that provides a better outer grip. The glove has an outer surface, an inner surface, and one or more of: ridges, an inner grip material, and one or more sensory windows at places where greater tactile sensation is desired. The inner grip material friction with the skin and/or is tacky to help maintain the glove in position on the hand. The glove may also include an outer material and/or throwing grip material.

A glove of a form typically, although not necessarily exclusively, provided for single or limited use purposes and discarded thereafter. The glove is to prevent contact between a product and a person's hand and to avoid contamination. The glove material includes components capable of detection by at least one form of noncontact detection apparatus which renders the glove or portion detectable if discarded and inadvertently becomes part of a manufacturing process or product. The components render the glove detectable by using metal detection apparatus and/or X-ray detection apparatus which may allow removal of the glove. The glove may also include an antimicrobial agent as part to prevent or reduced contamination on the surface of the glove. The glove can also be rendered biodegradable.

A glove includes a glove main body for covering a wearer's hand, the glove main body containing nitrile-butadiene rubber as a principal component, wherein: the glove main body comprises zinc oxide, a vulcanizing agent, a vulcanization accelerating agent, and a cross-linked product from the nitrile-butadiene rubber and polycarbodiimide; a mass ratio of the polycarbodiimide to the nitrile-butadiene rubber is no less than 0.003 and no greater than 0.1; a mass ratio of the zinc oxide to the nitrile-butadiene rubber is no less than 0.010 and no greater than 0.05; and a MEK-absorption capacity of the glove main body is no greater than 25 times the glove main body on a mass basis. The percentage content of a MEK-insoluble matter in the glove main body is preferably no less than 65% by mass. The molar ratio of zinc oxide to the carbodiimide group in the polycarbodiimide is preferably 1 to 50.

The glove includes a hand portion, a sleeve portion integral to the hand portion and extending conically outward, a cuff portion integral with the sleeve portion and extending conically outward, and a connection portion between the cuff portion and the sleeve portion. The cuff portion has an extended configuration and folded configuration. The connection portion includes an annular band includes a first ring, a second ring, and a protruding ring between the first and second rings. The protruding ring includes a first bulged rim, a second bulged rim, and a band portion between the first and second bulged rims. The connection portion is in a first hinged relationship with the sleeve portion at the first ring so as to lock the folded configuration, and a second hinged relationship of the connection portion with the cuff portion supports the folded configuration.

A glove assembly including two or more elastomeric gloves removably attached to one another, said two or more gloves attached to one another by a graspable attachment member, and a method of simultaneously inserting a hand into two or more elastomeric gloves. Previously known double gloving required users to put each glove on one at a time, which could require a significant amount of time and may risk exposing the first glove to contaminants. Removably attaching the inner and outer gloves of the present disclosure may allow a user to easily don both gloves simultaneously, which allows the user to don both gloves in less time than previously known methods of double gloving.
