Methods and systems of marking a glove. The method can include providing a glove having first and second markings. The glove can be inserted into a receiving cavity of a housing, the receiving cavity defined by a front face and a rear face of the housing. The first and second markings on the glove can be aligned with an alignment indicator on the front face of the housing when the glove is in the receiving cavity. The glove can be marked through a first marking aperture disposed through the front face of the housing with a writing instrument.

A layered structure that includes at least a first layer and a second layer is provided. The second layer includes at least one barrier layer. A bonding substance is partially disposed between the barrier layer and the first layer to create a bond between the barrier layer and the first layer. The bonding substance contains a first component that has, at 25 C., a shear modulus of not more than 310.sup.5 Pa in accordance with the Dahlquist criterion. The bonding substance may also contain a second component having adhesive characteristics. The first component also has a low viscosity such that a force (F) between the first and second layers which acts on at least one of the layers in a force action area is distributed by a plastic flow onto an area which is larger than the force action area.

A finger mitt for handling food items, in order to avoid food-borne illnesses, includes a pair of wings joined by a live hinge. Each wing has a finger grip surface and an object grip surface. The finger grip surface forms a finger cavity by attaching to a finger upper cover on three sides while fourth side remains free. Free side of the finger upper cover is concave while its opposite side is convex. The finger cavity is sufficient to accommodate distal phalanx of a thumb in one wing and distal phalanx of a middle finger and a thumb in other wing. The finger grip surface is lined with small protrusions, arranged in staggering rows and columns, for holding onto the mitt while the object grip surface with raised concentric semi-circles for securely holding an object. The mitt is dishwasher safe, reusable, convenient and also allows a user to squeeze fruit.

A first glove may include a pinky, ring, middle, index, and thumb finger sections which are configured to receive a person's pinky, ring, middle, index, and thumb fingers of the person's first hand. At least one of the pinky, ring, middle, index, and thumb finger sections, may have a padded outer portion on the palm-side of the first glove. The first glove may have a palm section to which the pinky, ring, middle, index, and thumb finger sections, are connected, on which at least a first further padded outer portion is located on the palm-side of the first glove. Each of the pinky, ring, middle, index, and thumb finger sections may have a padded outer portion on the palm-side of the first glove. The palm section of the first glove may have second and third further padded outer portions located on the palm-side of the first glove.

The present invention aims to provide a fabric that can improve the gripping performance of gripping of a contacted object via a glove when the fabric is made into the glove, and that can facilitate wearing and taking off the glove.

The present invention is a fabric including a filament yarn A having a single fiber diameter of 100 to 1000 nm and a filament yarn B having a single fiber diameter of 10 m or more, wherein a value obtained by dividing an exposed area of the filament yarn A on a first surface of the fabric by an exposed area, on the first surface, of all fibers exposed on the first surface is 0.50 or more and 0.90 or less.

A textured glove with wave pattern embossed on its surface is provided. The glove surface may be partially or wholly embossed with the wave pattern to enhance grip.

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 partially fingered gloves intended to increase the overall performance in sports activities including but limited to football and golf. Primarily because of its unique finger configurations, and/or grip enhancers, and/or hand protective properties, as well as providing an strategically located aperture exposing a portion of a user's forefinger, the present invention makes a glove more operable in various sports activities.

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 partially fingered gloves intended to increase the overall performance in sports activities including golf. The glove includes a palmar portion and a dorsal portion that cover the palm and back of a user's hand. The glove may include multiple digital segments that entirely cover some of the fingers and may be without a digital segment for a forefinger. In one example, the glove may include enhanced grip capabilities along the glove palmar portion. Primarily because of its unique finger configurations and grip enhancers, the instant invention makes a glove more operable in various sports activities, including for those who play Golf using the conventional interlocking grip.

One method for creating barrier products (for example, condoms and gloves) includes: (a) dipping a former into a tank of elastic compound. The former has an indentation extending inwardly from an outer surface for creating a first protrusion on a first face of the barrier product. The method further includes: (b) removing the former from the tank of elastic compound, whereby some of the elastic compound removably adheres to the former and fills the indentation; (c) applying supplemental material to the elastic compound, whereby creating a second protrusion on a second face of the barrier product; and (d) fully drying the supplemental material. One barrier product includes an elastic wall having opposed faces, and first and second protrusions respectively extend from the opposed faces. The first and second protrusions are in cross-sectional alignment whereby rotational input forces on the first protrusion create rotational output forces on the second protrusion.
