  • Patent number: 5361415
    Abstract: A child's mitten comprises an insulation member overcovering the hand, including the thumb and fingers. A water-resistant shell covers the insulation member and includes a flared arm portion configured to extend up the wearer's lower arm and over the elbow. An elastic member in a cuff at the upper end of the arm portion holds the mitten above the elbow. An additional elastic member may be placed within the wrist portion to compress it about the wearer's wrist, the insulation member abutting or overcovering the wearer's jacket or coat cuff to maintain a continuous insulative layer over the wearer's wrist. In another feature of the invention, a universal thumb enclosure has a base width equal to the base width of the finger enclosure, or nearly so, enabling its use on either of the wearer's left or right hand.
