A safety glove having a protective member or insert extending around the fingertip of the safety glove is provided. The protective member may be positioned along the outer surface or the inner surface of the glove. Alternatively, the protective member may be integrally formed between two layers of glove material. The protective member terminates distally from an interphalangeal joint line to enable finger flexion in order to grasp an item, such as a slab of meat to be deskinned in a skinning machine. The glove may include a rough outer surface formed from thrice dipping the glove and allowing the glove to cure. Additionally, the glove may have a width near the wrist that is wider than the width near the palm to enable the glove to be rapidly removed (i.e., doffed) in an emergency event of the glove getting caught in a rotating blade on the skinning machine.

A knitted glove includes a knitted fabric including, multiple stages of a first course each of which has a plurality of first loops and a first cross element to connect the first loops to each other and in which the plurality of first loops are aligned in the course direction; and multiple stages of a second course each of which has a plurality of second loops and in which the plurality of second loops are aligned in the course direction, the first knitting yarn constituting the first course has an elongation rate of 12.5% or more, a second knitting yarn includes a yarn containing a cut resistant fiber, between at least one set of two adjacent first loops in one stage of the first course, a loop in another stage of the courses is arranged, and the first cross element is knitted so as to cross over the loop.

A seamless knitted glove that includes a knitted ridge is disclosed. Methods for forming the glove are disclosed.

A thin, abrasion resistant supported glove, including a knitted liner and a polymeric layer disposed on and within individual strands of yarns of the knitted liner, are disclosed. Methods for manufacturing the thin, abrasion resistant supported glove are also disclosed.

A glove is provided that is superior in impact resistance and allows prevention of dislocation and detachment of an impact-resistant pad. The glove includes: a stretchable glove main body made of fiber; a coating layer comprising a synthetic resin or rubber as a principal component, being laminated to an external face of the glove main body at least in a finger portion and a palm portion; and impact-resistant pads comprising a synthetic resin as a principal component, being provided to at least a part of an external face side of the coating layer on a back hand side of the glove main body, in which the impact-resistant pad is sewn onto the glove main body. The glove main body is preferably seamless. The impact-resistant pad is preferably provided to the finger portion. An internal face of the impact-resistant pad and an external face of the coating layer are preferably smooth.

A mitt includes a hand cover portion and optionally also a forearm cover portion into which a hand of the user can be placed when playing with a dog, cat or other pet. A flap is coupled to the hand covering portion of the mitt at a proximal portion but dangles freely at a distal edge and provides a convenient structure for playing of tug-o-war, such as with a dog. Tassels extend from various portions of the mitt and are conveniently available for playing with a cat. A utility pouch is provided on the forearm cover which can contain various additional play accessories or other pet associated items. The mitt is formed of a leather material which is sufficiently strong to avoid cat scratches, dog bites from small dogs, and similar pet related injuries that can occur while playing with a pet.

Gloves comprising a polymeric coating or layer, optionally including a fabric liner, and at least one reinforcement, disposed on a part(s) of the polymeric coating or layer and/or ac part(s) of the fabric liner, and methods of making the gloves are disclosed.

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 invention relates to a textile item of clothing equipped for ballistic protection. The textile item of clothing comprises a knitted fabric. Said knitted fabric has a plurality of differently protected zones. At least two different zones are interconnected without a seam. According to the invention, at least one first to zone is formed from a yarn that inhibits the penetration of fragments.

A glove has a segment secured to an inside surface of one or more finger and/or a thumb. The segment is fully contained within the distal most portions of the one or more finger and/or thumb and does not overlap with any knuckle of the user's finger. The segment doubles the layer of material of the glove in the pad region of the fingertip to improve wear length or wear resistance of the glove.
