  • Patent number: 7908891
    Abstract: A knitted glove made by creating each of the sections of the glove using a separate knitting course on a flat knitting machine providing variable stitch dimensions. Each of these sections provides its own designed stretch characteristics so that the glove fits tightly, yet provides flexibility and ease of movement. The variable stitch dimension is achieved by 1) varying the depth of penetration of a knitting needle into a fabric being knitted by a computer program, 2) adjusting the tension of yarn between a pinch roller and a knitting head by a mechanism controlled by a computer, and 3) casting off or picking up additional stitches in a course. The glove includes a plurality of finger components made from at least ten separately knitted sections, two palm components, each of which is made from at least two separately knitted sections, and a wrist component made from at least one knitted section.

  • Patent number: 7555921
    Abstract: A knitted glove made by creating each of the at least fifteen sections using a separate knitting course on a flat knitting machine providing varying stitch dimensions with one or two yarns in one or more sections. Custom stretch characteristics can be provided using one or two yarns providing a tight glove that provides flexibility and ease of movement. The varying stitch dimension is achieved by 1) varying the depth of penetration of the knitting needle into fabric being knitted by a computer program, 2) adjusting the tension of yarn between a pinch roll and knitting head by a mechanism controlled by a computer and/or 3) casting off or picking up additional stitches in a course. The glove includes four finger components, a thumb component, two palm components, and a wrist component. A padded cuff section can be added to the wrist component for comfort.
