Moreover, it is equipped with a control unit (12) for turning on and for controlling the temperatures and currents to be applied.

An energy-saving heating wearable apparatus mainly includes a control unit, a heating unit, a temperature sensing unit, and a humidity sensing unit. The control unit controls the heating unit to continuously heat when an ambient temperature or a biological body temperature detected by the temperature sensing unit is less than a temperature setting value. The control unit controls the heating unit to stop heating when the ambient temperature or the biological body temperature is not less than the temperature setting value. The control unit controls the heating unit to stop heating when an ambient humidity or a biological body humidity detected by the humidity sensing unit is less than a humidity setting value. The control unit controls the heating unit to continuously heat when the ambient humidity or the biological body humidity is not less than the humidity setting value.

A safety garment ensemble for emergency personnel includes a vest that is configured to position on a torso of a user so that the vest is coupled to the user. The vest comprises ballistic textiles and fire resistant textiles so that the vest is both bullet-resistant and fire-retardant. A first power module, a microprocessor, a plurality of microphones, a plurality of cameras, and a data storage module are coupled to the vest. The microprocessor is operationally coupled to the first power module. The microphones, the cameras, and the data storage module are operationally coupled to the microprocessor. The microphones and the camera are configured to capture audio recordings and video recordings, respectively, of events in an area proximate to the vest. The data storage module is positioned to receive and store the audio and visual recordings.

Protective gloves are provided. At least one of the protective gloves can include a flame resistant glove body including a palm sleeve, a thumb sleeve, a trigger finger sleeve, and a plurality of finger sleeves extending distally from the palm sleeve. The trigger finger sleeve has a protective pad extending along a proximal back side of the trigger finger sleeve. The trigger finger sleeve also has an unprotected distal portion extending from a distal end of the protective pad to a distal end of the trigger finger sleeve. The finger sleeve further includes a protective member covering a first portion of a side of the trigger finger sleeve and including an indentation adjacent a second portion of the side of the trigger finger sleeve. Respective conductive tabs can be positioned on one or more sleeves to operate a touch screen while wearing a protective glove.

A pair of protective gloves each glove having a glove body with finger portions that can be preselectively webbed together or each finger can be kept separated. The gloves are capable of withstanding heat, cold, puncture, shock and other similar hazards. One of the gloves includes an engagement member such as a magnetic member on the inner wrist portion of the glove that cooperates with an anchoring member on the inner wrist portion of the opposite glove that can be made of a ferromagnetic material to attract both gloves to each other. Once attracted a user can use a lip on the anchoring member to leverage his hands out of the gloves, thereby preventing the user from having to come in contact with the outside of the glove bodies when donning and doffing the gloves. Either or both glove assemblies can include a lighting assembly mounted thereon that provide illumination and visibility to a user desired work area.

A scraper glove is provided and includes a glove body including one or more finger sleeves; and one or more scraper elements. Each of the scraper elements includes a receptacle portion positioned within a respective one of the finger sleeves to accept one or more fingers of a user, and a scraping portion with one or more scraping edges extending from a tip of a corresponding finger sleeve and integrally connected to the corresponding receptacle portion, wherein the scraping portion is configured to scrape a plant-based medium.

The multi-purpose glove with removable attachments assists people with weak hand grip strength to independently brush their hair and open cans, pain-free. The glove is made of cotton and includes with loop-type material of hook and loop fastener material attached to the palm and palm side of the fingers of the glove. A nylon jersey-lined, ventilated neoprene wrist strap is provided to firmly secure the glove's position on the user's hand. A first attachment or head is a hairbrush for straight hair, with widely spaced, wooden bristles that cover all the palm side of the hand and fingers. A second attachment is a hairbrush for frizzy and coarse hair with closely spaced, boar bristles. A third attachment is made of rubber which covers the palm of the hand to assist the user in unsticking and opening jars. The glove and attachments may be made for right or left hands.

A cover for a glove having a back, a wrist, a thumb, index fingers, a web, a sizing strap, and a hook and loop fastener, the cover incorporating a sheet having a flexible base and a loop attached to the base; a web arm attached to the flexible sheet and extending oppositely from the base; a wrist arm attached to the flexible sheet and extending oppositely from the base; a first hook and loop fastener attached to the web arm and adapted for, upon attaching the loop to the sizing strap, wrapping around the glove and engaging the glove's hook and loop fastener; and a second hook and loop fastener attached to the wrist arm and adapted for wrapping around the glove's wrist and engaging the glove's hook and loop fastener.

A digging glove may include a glove and a digging claw member secured to at least one finger of the glove. The digging claw member may include a claw body and at least one claw tip profile extending from the claw body. The at least one claw tip profile may include an inner profile defining a main chamber, and an isolation chamber. The inner profile includes an extension member extending inwardly within the claw body separating the main chamber from the isolation chamber. The isolation chamber may extend at least within an inner portion of the at least one claw tip profile.

There is provided a glove for elevated working tool securement. The glove comprises an anchor point such that, in use, if a tool tethered to the anchor point is dropped, the anchor point secures the tool to the glove. The glove can further comprise a cuff, such as a user tightenable cuff comprises a band fastening portion, configured such that, in use, if a tool tethered to the anchor point is dropped, the cuff secures the glove tightly to a wrist to withstand the forces exerted on the anchor point.
