A combination hand towel and pot holder assembly for use by an amateur cook or professional chef, the assembly having an elongate, cloth web formed of an absorbent material, the ends of the elongate web formed with pockets of the same absorbent material, the pockets formed on the same side of the web, the opposing side of the web, proximate the formed pockets would be overlaid with a heat resistant material layer, such as neoprene. The elongate web of the assembly would be of sufficient length to allow the assembly to be worn over the shoulder of the amateur cook or professional chef, the absorbent web material serving as a hand towel, and the terminus pockets in combination with the heat resistant material, such as neoprene, or a silicon compound, serve as potholders for the movement or transport of hot pots, pans or dishes.

A glove comprises a textile component and an electronic module component wherein the textile component comprises in order: a flame-resistant fabric having inner and outer surfaces, a first temperature detecting sensor located next to the inner surface of the flame-resistant fabric, at least one thermally insulating fabric having inner and outer surfaces, a second temperature detecting sensor located on the inner surface of the thermally insulating fabric that is closest to the skin of the wearer and an electronic module component capable of predicting body burns comprising a removable encapsulated electronic module located in a pocket of the glove.

A protective glove suitable for use in hazardous environments is provided. The glove may include multiple layers, each providing different aspects of protection to the wearer's hands. Multiple layers may include layers that improve grip, protect against cuts and impact, provide breathability, and/or provide waterproof and/or water resistant protection. Additional safety features may include reflective striping and impact disbursement pads and ridges. Further, the glove may be constructed to enhance user dexterity.

Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a ski glove that includes a hand member configured to cover a user's hand. The hand member includes one or more finger sheaths including a pinky portion, a pinky side aligned with the pinky portion, and a bottom edge defining an opening for insertion of the user's hand; wherein the hand member comprises at least one layer of insulation. The ski glove also includes a fastener configured to seal a sealable opening positioned on the pinky side and extending from the bottom edge upward to over the pinky portion; whereby the sealable opening when sealed during use faces away from the wind's force, and whereby the entire hand member can be turned inside out easily to allow moisture condensation inside the hand member to dry quickly.

The present disclosure relates to a protective glove, which has different polymer layers arranged in a multi-layered polymer composite material. According to the present disclosure, the protective glove contains polyvinyl alcohol and a protective layer on top of this containing a fluorinated elastomer. The present disclosure also relates to a method for manufacturing a protective glove of this kind. The combination of various polymers and their arrangement in the polymer composite material achieve a powerful protective action against a multitude of chemical compound classes while simultaneously producing advantageous mechanical properties.

A heat resistant glove for handling heated objects includes a shell that is flexible and hand shaped. The shell has a second end that is open, such that the shell is configured to receive a hand of a user. A first fastener is coupled to the shell proximate to the second end. A flap has a first edge that is coupled to the shell proximate to the second end. A second fastener, complementary to the first fastener, is coupled to the flap. The second fastener is positioned to couple with the first fastener to compress the second end of the shell around a wrist of the user. A guard that is coupled to a bottom face of the shell is positioned such that heated objects can be held in the hand of the user when the hand is positioned in the shell.

A glove that does not have to be removed and allows quick bare index finger trigger contact for shooting of a pistol or rifle. Simple modification of a standard five fingered glove that still allows for normal use after the modification. My invention allows for instant bare finger contact with a control surface, such as a trigger, touch screen display and casting of a fishing line from a spinning reel.

The present invention provides a heat reflective clothing to keep the body of a person warm in cold climate. The heat reflective clothing comprises Mylar and wool, wherein the Mylar has a reflective surface. The clothing provides excellent thermal insulation and moisture wicking properties and could be adapted into a jacket, gloves, footwear, apparel, hat and other clothing accessories.

Systems, methods and articles having a heat-shielding or blocking, heat-dissipating and/or heat signature-reducing material layer or coating are disclosed. In one example, the heat-shielding or blocking, heat-dissipating and/or heat signature-reducing material completely covers the interior of a housing having a plurality of battery cells removably disposed therein. Other examples include a heat-shielding or blocking, heat-dissipating and/or heat signature-reducing material layer having anti-static, anti-radio frequency (RF), anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI), anti-tarnish, and/or anti-corrosion materials and properties that effectively protect battery-operated devices and/or the batteries that power them from damage or diminished operation.

Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for determining the temperature of an object or surface near a user, such as a firefighter, in potentially dangerous conditions. A temperature sensor configured to be attached to a personal protection equipment may comprise a standoff temperature sensor element configured to detect the temperature of a nearby object or surface; a microcontroller configured to receive sensor data from the standoff temperature sensor element and determine the sensed temperature; an indicator configured to be activated by the microcontroller when the sensed temperature is higher than a predefined threshold; and an attachment element configured to attach the sensor to a personal protection equipment worn by a user.
