Abstract: A liquid proof glove having impact protection comprises an outer glove portion comprising an outer fabric layer having an inner surface and an outer surface, a polymeric coating adhered to the outer surface of the outer fabric layer, and at least one protective structure adhered to at least one of the polymeric coating or outer fabric layer, or both. The glove further comprises an inner glove portion comprising an inner fabric layer having an outer surface and an inner surface and a liquid proof barrier layer adhered to the outer surface of the inner fabric layer. The liquid proof barrier layer is adhered to the inner surface of the outer fabric layer to join the inner glove portion to the outer glove portion.

Abstract: A safety glove includes a knitted inner shell, a first coating covering an exterior surface of the knitted inner shell, a plurality of guard members disposed on the first coating, a second coating covering the first coating and the plurality of guard members, and a third coating covering only a portion of the second coating. A method of manufacturing a safety glove includes kitting fibers to form an inner shell, dipping the inner shell into a first material to form a first coating; securing a plurality of guard members on the first coating, dipping the result into a second material to form a second coating, inspecting the second coating, and, if the second coating passes inspection, dipping only a portion of the result into a third material to form a third coating.

Abstract: A safety glove for protecting the hand of a worker is provided, configured to protect the hand of the worker while still providing flexibility and dexterity to the user. The glove features a first protective structure or structures secured to a first base layer to protect the distal phalange bone of the worker, and a second protective structure or structures secured to a second base layer to protect the intermediate phalange and proximal phalange bones of the worker. The separation between the base layers provides for enhanced flexibility of the distal phalange, and allows for flexibility when performing tasks that require agility and dexterity.

Abstract: A protective glove includes one or more fabrics coupled together into a form of a hand, with the form having a palm side and a dorsal side opposite the palm side, and protective structures disposed on the dorsal side. The protective structures include a first protective structure on the dorsal side arranged to protect at least a portion of an index finger metacarpal bone, a second protective structure on the dorsal side arranged to protect at least a portion of a thumb metacarpal bone, and a third protective structure arranged between the first protective structure and the second protective structure. The second protective structure is separate from the first protective structure, and the third protective structure is separate from the first and second protective structures. The third protective structure includes at least three protrusions spaced apart from each other.

Abstract: A glove protecting a hand of a user while facilitating dexterity in police or military activities, such as firing a gun or operating a touch screen. A flame resistant glove body includes 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 thereof, and an unprotected distal portion extending from a distal end of the protective pad to a distal end of the trigger finger sleeve. A conductive tab is positioned on one or more sleeves for use in operating a touch screen while wearing the glove. The conductive tab can be provided on only one sleeve, such as the middle finger sleeve. Flame resistant padding is provided along a back side of the glove.

Abstract: 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.
