A hand glove includes a glove body having a dorsal side, a palmar side, a radial side, an ulnar side, and a hand portion including a palm section, a dorsal section, a plurality of digit sheaths, and an opening for providing access to an interior of the glove. The digit sheaths include at least a first sheath corresponding to the first digit of a wearer's hand and second sheath corresponding to one or more of the other digits of a wearer's hand. The radial side includes a first zipper and a first fastening strap. The ulnar side includes a second zipper and a second fastening strap. The first zipper is parallel with and opposite to the second zipper. The dorsal side includes a fastener spanning the dorsal section. The fastening straps are configured to removably attach to the fastener to secure the glove body to a wearer's hand.

A composite item of footwear and handwear having a main body to accommodate the hand/foot of a wearer of the item, the main body comprising an outer layer, an inner layer and a waterproof and breathable intermediate layer between the outer and inner layers, and an opening through which a foot/hand can be inserted, the opening defined by a cuff arrangement comprising a cuff region that comprises an end region of each of the inner and intermediate layers and a cuff inner portion of the outer layer that extends beyond the said end regions, the cuff arrangement further comprising a waterproof cuff band fixed to one or both of the cuff inner portion and end region of the inner layer to lie over and be fixed to the outside of the outer layer, the location at which the waterproof cuff band is fixed to the outer layer is at a distance from the opening that is greater than the distance between the opening and the location at which the waterproof cuff band is fixed to the cuff inner portion or end region of the inner layer.

The present invention relates to a disposable safety glove system featuring a plurality of layers of inter-nested gloves that are worn simultaneously by a user. The improved disposable glove system of the present invention allows a user to peel away the outermost layer of gloves to reveal a new and sterile set of gloves. The glove system also features a relatively thick wristband to support the plurality of glove layers, a tab that can be used to easily peel off the outermost glove layer once the same has been used and a new pair of gloves is desired, and a numbering system that alerts the user to how many glove layers remain in the glove stack.

A glove is disclosed having a donning assister to enable a wearer of the glove to quickly and easily don a glove on a wearer's hand. In one embodiment, the glove includes a wrist cuff portion, a hem portion positioned at a base of the wrist cuff portion, an at least partially enclosed space formed within the hem portion, and a gripper positioned in the at least partially enclosed space. The at least partially enclosed space is defined by hem stitches and by a pair of laterally opposed stitches positioned on the palm side of the glove anywhere along a circumference of the hem portion between a thumb of the glove on one end and a pinky finger of the glove on the other end.

A glove is provided and includes a cuff providing an opening to the glove. A back panel defines a first portion of finger sheaths and a thumb sheath and extends along the finger sheaths and the thumb sheath to the cuff. A palm panel is disposed on an opposite side of the glove from the back panel and defines a second portion of the finger sheaths and the thumb sheath. The palm panel is formed from a material having a greater coefficient of friction than a material of the back panel and extends along the finger sheaths and the thumb sheath to the cuff. The palm panel tapers in a direction from the finger sheaths to the cuff. A gusset extends between and is attached to the back panel and the palm panel and is formed from a different material than the back panel and the palm panel.

A glove for operating computer peripherals relieves stress and cramping and provides support for the wrist and hand. The glove includes an external non-slip surface located at the palm, an interior perspiration-absorbent area located at the palm, an open mesh area at the back of the hand, a substitutable supporting and cushioning wrist cuff that may be configured in height and viscosity by a user, and a tightening strap.

A glove having tabs. The tabs extend from the palm and dorsal sides of the wrist opening such that they can be gripped when the glove is donned to assist in removing the glove from the wearer's hand. In an embodiment of the glove, the finger and thumb sheaths are arranged in a symmetrical manner, thereby allowing the glove to be used in an ambidextrous fashion. In another embodiment, the glove is constructed from a paper or paper-based material so that it can be conveniently dispensed and used as a sanitary disposable hand covering.

A method of manufacturing an article that includes providing an element formed of an elastomeric material or composite; placing the surface of the element in contact with a substrate; and affixing the element to the substrate. The element includes an uncured, partially cured, or fully cured UV radiation curable elastomeric material and optionally one or more regions of an adhesive material. The element is affixed to the substrate while the surface of the element is in contact with a surface of the substrate by increasing a temperature of at least a portion of the element, applying pressure to at least a portion of the element, or exposing the uncured or partially cured UV radiation curable material to UV radiation in an amount and for a duration of time that is sufficient to partially cure the uncured material or to fully cure the partially cured material.

A glove having three receiving tubes for a thumb, an index finger and a middle finger of a hand, which tubes are joined together and are combined together with a region adjacent to the edge of the thumb on the hand to form a wrist cuff so that a cut-out remains which exposes a ring finger, a little finger, an edge of the hand and the adjacent regions of the palm and the back of the hand, which cut-out is seamed at least in sections in a stabilising manner.
